September 25th, 2025: Day #031 of senior year

☕️ Chai Latte ; 🎧 Troubleman - Electric Guest

I forgot to post this yesterday. Oopsies. I'm excited for this week to be over because I really need some rest. I hope I can fully recover this weekend and debrief on what went right and wrong. I have some ideas but I need the time to fully flesh out everything going on in my life. I will definitely feel better after that. Debriefs and reflections are my guilty pleasure.

Tasks Complete: - Lots of event logistics - Studied for immunology exam - Caught up with someone I haven't seen in awhile!! - Did some research for my project (Study Hours: 6)

I’m Rowan, and this my version of the 75 hard/soft/medium/whatever you wanna call it. I wanted to do a 75 day challenge that would fit my goals—mainly to lose weight, eat well, nurture my mental well-being, and grow my confidence and my strength.

Today, April 6th, marks day 1, and the 75 days ends on 6/19, one day before the first day of Summer.

My Rules:

Physical:

Stay within a calorie deficit

5-6 workouts per week (3 strength sessions and 1.5 hours cardio weekly)

Drink 2 liters of water each day

Weigh in once per week

Take progress pics every 2 weeks

Mental:

Read 10 pages each day

Walk/meditate outside once per week

Have a self-check-in/spiritual reset once per week (journaling, spend time with my altar, etc.)

Follow screen time limits

Feel free to comment if you are doing something similar, and wish me luck! I’ll be checking in as I go. Because this is my own version and not true 75 hard, I will not be resetting the clock if I fail to do something on my list, but I am determined to hit my goals every day. In March, I really hit my stride with being consistent in the gym, with food, and with my moods, and I’m excited to see how much can change if I stick with it! This is my wall for the next 75 days:

Today was much better than yesterday, but maybe that's just because I didn't spend the whole day at home. I feel like going to uni structures my day a lot more, even though it's such a waste of time having to take the train and everything...

Progress

🥗 clean eating

🍓 calorie deficit

💧 2l of water

🌱 10k steps & exercise

My goal is to work out 45 mins a day, drink a gallon of water, read 1 pages, and have Huel twice a day for 75 days. I should end before June.
