Post 75 Hard

Can I be honest with you? I feel a little lost. This is the side of 75 Hard no one really talks about. You’re coming off the high of having completed 75 days straight of the toughest mental challenge out there straight into the unknown. At least that’s where I’m at. Little man is and has been really sick. Our trip back to Wisconsin for the holidays did not go as planned because if it. Plus the loss of Justin’s Grandma on Christmas Eve. I could go on. I had this same feeling when I completed the challenge the first time and you’d think I would’ve learned my lesson and planned accordingly but I didn’t. Mistakes were made and life just didn’t allow for it.

So here I am feeling doubtful, unsure, scared. Can I maintain all the progress I’ve made? Can I continue to build upon these new habits without the structure of the challenge? What should my next adventure be? Hell I’m even struggling to land on my word of intention for the New Year! That’s normally something I have down months leading up to January 1st.

I promise to always keep it real with you and right now I feel a little bit like I’m drowning. Looking at it from the outside in I can totally see how this might all sound silly. But in my mind right now it’s a struggle. I’m gonna take this week to unplug a little bit. To re-group. Re-focus. And to just breathe. My comeback is gonna be amazing! I just don’t quite know what that’s gonna look like yet. Be sure to keep an eye out…final transformation and deets coming at ya tomorrow!

Day 70/75 Hard

I woke up this morning super homesick and unmotivated. I can’t even find the words to express what I feel on the inside. My emotions are all over the place and my entire system is in shock. I feel like at any moment I am going to be physically ill. So I’ve decided to dedicate each of these last few days of this challenge to someone in order to keep me pushing forward. Because my drive and my desire to complete it for me alone just isn’t there.

So today I dedicate my day to my husband Justin and my son Hunter. Your unfailing love and support of me and my goals means the absolute world to me. You both push me to be better and do better. Neither of you have ever questioned me taking care of myself first ever! Matter of fact you both encourage it. If I’m falling behind in my day you either jump in and join me or pick up the slack. I love you both so very much. Day 70 is on the books! Only 5 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️

Day 68/75 Hard

Today was a hard day and a very emotional day. I didn’t even want to get out of bed this morning. Today would normally be the day we spend Christmas with my Father in Law. I sulked for a while but realized he wouldn’t want me to waste the day or fail this challenge. So I got out of bed and got my butt in gear. I’m glad I got it all in when I did because not too long afterward we got the call that Justin’s Grandma passed away. I guess Dad needed his Mom up in heaven with him for Christmas. Please keep my family in your prayers. Day 68 is on the books! Only 7 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️

Day 58/75 Hard

Little man had a super hard day today and it got progressively worse as the day went on. There was one point that we were in the middle of a complete meltdown with paint spilled on the floor and permanent marker on the kitchen counter with a tube of lip gloss that was cut open and literally on every single surface that was touched. Thank goodness the hubby came home when he did so I could put my head down and finish up my day. It was a close one. Day 58 is on the books! Only 17 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️
