Her 75 Hard Daily

Day 11 Recap: Today I woke up so thankful I didn’t quit yesterday. This day felt refreshingly simple—no major temptations, stress, or obstacles. It was a true “by the book” day, and I hope more days start to feel like this as 75 Hard becomes a normal rhythm in my routine. I started a new non-fiction audiobook on Audible, Steal Like an Artist . While it doesn’t count toward my 10 pages of daily rea...

Day 10 Recap: Today was one of the hardest days so far, but not because of workouts or diet. A personal disagreement with someone close to me left me frustrated, emotional, and ready to quit. For a while, the challenge felt insignificant compared to the weight of the conflict. But I reminded myself why I started: 75 Hard is about silencing that inner voice that wants to quit when life gets inconve...

Day 9 Recap: Today was the toughest challenge yet—it was college football game day. Between tailgating and the game itself, I was surrounded by food, drinks, and friends encouraging me to join in. I was easily the only sober person in a 10-mile radius, and the peer pressure to “lighten up” was real. Still, I stayed strong. The 45+ minute walks to and from the tailgate, game, and parking lot actual...

Day 8 Recap: Today was the first time I faced restaurant temptations. I went out for sushi during happy hour and really wanted one of their specialty cocktails, but I stayed strong and stuck with cucumber-infused water. On the win side, I finally took my progress picture in the morning, which felt like a huge relief compared to remembering right before bed. I also kept my indoor workout simple wit...

Quick note: Apologies for the audio quality in this episode—I just bought a new mic and the sound should be much better within the week! Day 7 Recap: Today felt like an upside-down kind of day. I got a late start on everything, didn’t finish my first 30 ounces of water until noon, and my attempt to sneak in an outdoor workout between rain showers got cut short when work called. I ended up walking...

Day 6 Recap: Today I went into the office, forgot my water and lunch, and had to cram all my 75 Hard tasks in after 6pm—but I still got it done. I normally work from home, but being in the office threw me completely off my routine. Without my Stanley cup, I didn’t drink water all day while catching up with coworkers, and forgetting my lunch didn’t help either. I grabbed a healthy option from Panda...

Day 5 of 75 Hard is in the books, and let me tell you—the mosquitoes might be the hardest part of this challenge so far. My outdoor workout was miserable thanks to them, but I pushed through and got it done. I’m still enjoying my current read, Do Over by Jon Acuff, and I’m switching things up—reading a full chapter each day instead of just 10 pages. My goal is to power through as many nonfiction p...

Day 4 of 75 Hard is complete, and it came with new challenges. I’m still feeling sick, and now I’m also dealing with fatigue and cramps. The good news is I discovered that doing yoga specifically for when you’re sick or on your period really helps—and thankfully, Yoga with Adriene has amazing videos on YouTube for that. Cravings weren’t as bad today, and for the first time, water felt easier—I did...

Day 3 of 75 Hard is officially done, and it was one of the most challenging days so far. I’m still feeling sick, and the cravings hit hard today—especially for sweet treats like a DQ Blizzard and Oreos. I also learned that things don’t always go my way. I started my outdoor walk, but a call from work forced me to transition inside to my walking pad before finishing my outdoor workout later. One br...

Day 3 of 75 Hard is complete—but it wasn’t easy. Today I pushed through a hot outdoor walk in 94°F weather, wrestled with the temptation of the hot dogs I made for my kids, and seriously considered starting over tomorrow because I’m feeling sick. Instead of quitting, I dug deep, leaned on discipline, and completed every 75 Hard task for the day. This challenge is already testing my limits, but tho...

Day 1 of 75 Hard is in the books! I kicked things off strong by getting both of my workouts done early, but I definitely struggled to keep up with my water intake throughout the day. I’m also loving the book I chose to start with— Do Over by Jon Acuff—and it’s already giving me great insights as I work through this challenge. One big lesson from today: I need to build a stronger daily routine so I...

Today is Day 0 of my 75 Hard Challenge journey , and I’m sharing how I plan to tackle this intimidating challenge, which starts tomorrow! 75 Hard was created by Andy Frisella to push normal people like you and me to reach their potential and build mental toughness. As a 37-year-old mom in the Midwest, I’m documenting this challenge day by day to show the real ups and downs—no filters, just honesty...
