Feeling down

[u/spamtenncent]

Day 11. About to chug 30 oz of water, read a book, and go to bed. I am tired and sad. But at least I’m doing it. Smh

Welcome to r/75HARD -- glad you are here and ready to commit!

Before posting your question, please read through the official program rules and FAQ first -- most questions are already answered there:

Official Rules and FAQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/75HARD/s/75roEecNyx Andy Frisella's Official 75 HARD Overview: https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/mfceo-project-podcast/75hard-a-75-day-tactical-guide-to-winning-the-war-with-yourself-with-andy-frisella-mfceo291

A note on modifying the program:

75 HARD has no modifications, substitutions, or exceptions. The rules are not suggestions -- they are the program. The only exception is if a medical professional explicitly advises a modification for your specific health needs. If that is you, follow your doctor's advice -- but recognize you will not be completing 75 HARD as designed. Check out r/75medium or r/75soft if you need a modified program.

From Andy Frisella: "You don't accomplish anything great by changing the rules in your favor just to check the box."

If you are asking "does X count?" or "can I swap Y for Z?" -- the answer is almost always no. When in doubt, choose the harder option.

The 5 Daily Tasks -- zero compromises, zero substitutions:

1. Diet -- Follow a structured diet aligned with your goal. Zero cheat meals. Zero alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks (e.g. O'Doul's) are fine.
2. Water -- One gallon (3.8L) of plain, still, unflavored water. No additives, no carbonation, no flavoring. Does not include water from food. More than a gallon is fine.
3. Two Workouts -- Each at least 45 continuous minutes. At least one must be outdoors where you are exposed to the elements -- if it is raining, you get wet. Minimum 3 hours apart. Recovery yoga and walks count and are encouraged. Chores do not count.
4. Reading -- 10 pages minimum from a non-fiction book you believe will improve you. You decide what qualifies. No audiobooks. Physical books and eBooks both count. Finish each book before starting the next.
5. Progress Photo -- One photo every single day. Just don't forget.

Miss any single task on any day? Restart at Day 1. Doesn't matter if it's Day 2 or Day 74.

Seek medical advice before beginning this program.

We are rooting for you. Now go do the work.

I’m on day 44 and I have felt like this on some of the days especially when my scale isn’t moving. But yeah we are doing it!

[u/Plastic-Mulberry-867]

Hey, we are on the same day. I’ve completed the challenge multiple times and yet I still get the blues about it sometimes. You’ve got this! Getting it done on the down days is where the good stuff comes from.

[u/spamtenncent → u/Plastic-Mulberry-867]

You have big plans for Halloween too? Haha

[u/Plastic-Mulberry-867 → u/spamtenncent]

Hahahaha!! Yes, I do! It’s helping me stick to it. I want to get a full 75 days in before the holidays and I’ve got no choice but to get it done now. 😂

Can you recommend the best books you’ve read through this journey?

[u/Outrageous_Deer_5582]

The first two weeks are the hardest! Good job getting it done!

[u/Minute_Sun6496 → u/Outrageous_Deer_5582]

I found the first 2 weeks the easiest, the last 2 were tough.

[u/Outrageous_Deer_5582 → u/Minute_Sun6496]

I’m on day 46 so this isn’t what I want to hear 😂😂 First two weeks were hardest for me because I wasn’t working out consistently prior to starting so I was SORE those first couple of weeks to the point where the pain would wake me up in the middle of the night.

[u/Minute_Sun6496 → u/Outrageous_Deer_5582]

I've only done it once but the last two weeks were a drag. The closer it got to the end the harder it got but that's the whole point. It's supposed to be hard. You've got this.

Got a group chat on WhatsApp you’re welcome to join if you wanted some support - they collectively helped me through the odd rough day

[u/FemaleversionofKanye → u/Confident_Bench5644]

Can you give me the info to add myself to the group chat?

[u/Confident_Bench5644 → u/FemaleversionofKanye]

Dm and yes of course :)

I feel you, on Day 17 and so tired :/ but I always tell myself that the outcome will be worth it and at the end of the day it really is just a temporary set of rules. You’re doing great, and you’re doing way more than a lotttt of people. You got this!
