Need a Wake up??

We all do it.. We all have had moments in our life when we ditch our discipline and slack on going to the gym, drink on days off, indulge on treats with friends.  But if you need a wake up call, I recommend checking out "75 Hard".  
Ryan Swobody told me about this challenging endeavor.  He and another member started 75 Hard and I've watched them transform not only physically but mentally.  These guys are disclpined.  They don't cheat.  Truly inspiring actions that are done with intention and are carving out lasting impressions for their life.  Interested?? Here's what the 75Hard is...
  • Exercise twice each day for 45 minutes — it doesn’t matter what the exercise is but one of these sessions must to be outdoors.
  • Drink 4 litres of water per day.
  • Pick a diet or eating plan and stick to that plan. You don’t necessarily have to count calories but be intelligent — no chocolates, no cake, no soft drinks, and NO ALCOHOL (this is the one I’ll struggle with the most).
  • Read a minimum of 10 pages every day of growth mindset material or self-help book. No fifty shades of grey content! stick to real life material to work on your mindset.
  • Take one progress photo each day — even though this is more of a mental challenge, the byproduct will be a physical change at the end of the 75 days.
The big caveat of this whole challenge is that it must be for 75 consecutive days. If I was to stumble on day 74, then I go back zero and have to start again. (Caruso, Simon.2019, https://medium.com/@simoncaruso_58869/what-is-75hard-and-why-im-doing-it-4ac40342447​)

​I know when the time is right I will give this a go, if for nothing else to know you can do this and really anything you set your mind to.
