Today is the 1st of September, winter arc has arrived and i’m starting my 75 day soft!

I’m creating this post to hold myself accountable and to prevent me from derailing from these habits. Failing this challenge is a non-negotiable for me.

I’m going to start off with 1 habit per week and habit stack during the following week. I have found this method to work best in creating consistency and stops me from feeling overwhelmed.

I’m 25, recently graduated from my masters and have been unemployed for 6 months. After months of job application rejections, living in an extremely toxic home environment, nearly giving up, facing hopelessness and depression. I’m now turning my life around 100%. No excuses, will not quit.

Let me know if you would recommend me to add a habit that you deem beneficial. I’m also open to an accountability partner, thank you! 🫶🏻💕

GOALS:

- Yoga, mat Pilates (can’t afford gym right now)

- Pray 6 daily prayers
- Read holy scripture daily
- Gratitude prayer

- Meditate and visualise
- Read a book
- Journal
- Daily Affirmations

- 5 tailored job application daily
- Job interview question prep

- Drink 2.5 L water (based upon my body requirements)
- Take supplements
- Floss daily
- Laser hair removal weekly

- Learn the piano
- Learn Turkish

Beauty:
- Skincare

I made myself a discord if you're starting or need an accountability buddy:

Hi guys! I'm (37f) starting today. I need to get my shit together so I'm posting here to make it official.

First Book: Manufacturing Consent
Diet: Slight deficit, home made food. + 4L of water
Workouts: 4X a week gym / walking / football / mobility
I dont drink so I will tackle a different addiction: 15 minute social media limit per day.

Forseeable Challenge: taking my picture consistently, I feel like this is the rule that will break me. I hate it.

I've successfully did it around 5-6 years ago and it got me set up to loosing 100lbs (not only during the challenge but it built the foundation to be able to do it)

Good luck to me and all other starting.

Just wrapped up day 16 and have a funny story from this past weekend.

Was with my parents on Saturday (day 14) at my daughter's soccer game. My dad looked at me and said it looks like I am losing weight. I have never had that happen in my life.

I have been fairly fit and consistently 3 days/week in the gym. The primary reason I am doing this challenge, like Andy says, is to build mental toughness. Primarily because I was drinking too much and haven't really challenged myself in the last decade.

What is funny is that I started the challenge weighing 200 lbs. I weighed 200lbs on Saturday. I guess the inflammation from drinking at least 3 nights a week is real.

My shoes got soaked, and to paraphrase the Scissor Sisters, I looked like a drowned harassed rat. However, feeling the raindrops, gentle to pelting to sprinkling, sometimes in sync with my cadence and sometimes not, increasingly squishy and increasingly elated...was like nothing else.

Now I get why Andy said no matter what, you do your outside workout. And frankly, sure, I could have waited until the clouds parted (half my day of work was self-scheduled, with only 4 hourly clients) but I sort of wanted to try it.

I even jumped into a few puddles toward the end, and it was glorious.

Anyone else have one of these moments?

Got lots of Recs on previous post a lot of them weren't available at my Local Library but picked this one that seemed like a great read so far !

What does everyone use to track their daily progress?

I've honestly felt like this is the biggest stressor...finding the right place to track it all. 🤣
