Fast Forward... 75 Hard COMPLETE


"Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown." - George Shinn

"Setting goals helps bring your future into the present & the present is the only time that we can take action."  - Zig Ziglar



 So, I got a little busy & didn't make time to update the blog every week.  On the bright side, I did finish 75 Hard!  Here are a few quick thoughts on the process.


I learned, once again, that I can do something that I wasn't really sure that I could do.  Proper planning makes everything easier.  I really enjoy reading & I had forgot that.  Drinking a gallon of water got easier, but was still tough.  I'm without a doubt healthier; mentally & physically.  Excuses have no value.  Just get it done.  I plan to continue most of the habits that I've developed in some capacity.  I'm ready for a burger & fries.

Results:                                                                                                     Over the course of 75 Hard, I read 959 pages, drank 9,632oz of water, & lost 22lbs.  My resting heart is rate down 12 beats per minute & my VO2 Max up 9 points.

Your turn!  Don't give it a shot.  Just do it.  Start tomorrow.  YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
