1. 60 minutes of exercise daily

❣️ How I’m Staying Organized
To keep track of my progress in the challenge, I use my monthly fitness and wellness excel tracker. It’s motivating when I see the percentage increase and the hearts appear!

I saw a lot of the girlies put 75 sticky notes on their door to keep themselves accountable in the challenge. At first, I didn’t understand the point, but I realized by putting the sticky notes on my bedroom door, there was no way I could forget abou...
Sticky Notes
🏋️♀️ Workout Equipment
This is something I bought way before the challenge began, but I am using it in my walking and running days for endurance. I’ve never been a great runner, so my hope is this will help me with my training. I’d love to be able to run a 5k by the end of...

In my exercise goal, I also decided I wanted to try calisthenics and get stronger! So I bought this pill up bar, so I can work towards doing my first pull up :)

One of my favorite at home workout items is my walking pad. I’ve mentioned in my other list “Healthy Habits: Even with a 9-5” that I’ve been using it since December 2023. I don’t always feel comfortable going on a walk outside, so this walking pad is...

Another thing I bought for my exercise/calisthenics goal are these oak rings. The program I’m doing uses them for pull exercises. They’re very sturdy and not flimsy at all!
I really like these electrolyte powder packs from Walmart. They’re more affordable and taste better than the liquid i.v. packets in my opinion. The kiwi strawberry one is my favorite, but the mixed berries is good too.

I understand not everyone may want to get their electrolytes from powders, so here’s a thread for more natural alternatives

This is a pack of shaker bottles I got for me and my boyfriend. Sometimes I like to rotate my bottles for water or protein shakes

🥝 Following My Diet
To ensure I hit my protein goal, I personally like to use a food scale. I understand not everyone wants to track their food, but this is what works for me. I can feel when I don’t get enough protein, so the scale helps me be more precise.

I cook a lot of chicken and toast bagels, so having an air fryer is a must when it comes to hitting my protein goal. I enjoy putting the food in the air fryer to cook then completing another task in the meantime. It’s very efficient!

In my 75 soft challenge, I want to lose weight and build muscle. In order to do that, I must be disciplined in getting my protein in order to build and preserve muscle especially while working out

📚 Staying On Top Of My Studies
I really struggle with focusing, especially during my study block periods. It’s something I wanted to improve upon during my 75 soft challenge. What I’m finding helps me the most is utilizing the pomodoro technique to help me lock in for various peri...
Pomodoro® Technique - Time Management Method
For my school work, I’m using my 2018 MacPro. I understand it’s an older model, but it has lasted me 7 years so far. I think it’s sleek, elegant, and it can do the basics of whatever I need for my homework. The one I linked is the same 2018 model I u...
