THE 75 HARD CHALLENGE KICK-OFF

 

yay! today is ‘the’ day we kick off the 75 hard challenge … let’s go!

snowman is an entire mood. i am sure this will be me as i attempt to workout outside [deep sigh]!

…just want you to know that 20 mins before 2.15.2022 i found myself stuffing valentine's day vegan cookies in my mouth. i couldn’t dare let them go to waste nor could i have them sitting around tempting me for the next few days — lol!

anyhow, y’all i thought i’d be a little more prepared than i am, but time has been flying by crazy fast. nonetheless — i am sticking to my word and starting this challenge as planned. the first few days may be a little hectic as i still need to go grocery shopping and mentally get prepared for these outdoor workouts, but i do have a few things in my toolbox that i can share with you all if you’re interested in adding it to your schedule for the challenge this week or at a later date.

remember!, it is mind over matter. this challenge actually includes things, in my opinion, that we should already be incorporating into our daily lives — maybe not to this extreme, but healthy eating + exercise fuel your temple. when your temple is well taken care of you can literally conquer the world!

ps. if you’re new here — here is my other blog where i explain why i decided to jump into something so crazy. if you’d like to join the challenge — you most certainly can just be sure to do a full 75 days + join my tribe elevation mailing list.

now onto the fun stuff :)

here is a snippet of how i will structure the first week of the challenge. be sure to download the 75 hard challenge progress tracker app TO KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES + MOTIVATED!
