Writers note: I had a long busy weekend and I sacrificed writing the blog post to make sure I finished 75 Hard while working through the weekend. So I’ll be 4 days into week 8 when this posts, and on day 53.
Music Monday will be Tunes Tuesday this week (See what i did there? LOL). This Friday will return to our normally scheduled program. 

Officially, 7 weeks completed. Week 8 starts with day 50 of 75 Hard.

I had a moment on Friday as I was doing my morning walk that I couldn’t believe that I had reached 50 days. There was a point a week or two ago that I realized I was actually going to finish this, and that my drive to do so was increased exponentially. But some thing about seeing the words DAY 50 at the top of the app on Friday morning gave myself a jolt of pride. I realize that having that emotion about that, in of itself, is a huge leap forward to me, and its mostly because of this journey.

When I hit that moment a couple weeks ago, I also shifted my mindset. In one fell swoop, my brain went from making sure I was set up for success daily, to turning on auto pilot, and switching to planning what was after 75 hard. You know what it told me? Another round of 75 Hard.

I’ve already started planning my diet (still have elements of low carb but will not be the focus), ways to alter my workouts (adding more weight lifting), and contemplating extending how long I walk (longer) now that the weather is on the verge of turning cooler.

When I finalize this over the next 2-3 weeks I’ll do a blog post where I break down all of my exact changes for everyone to read. I’ll also need to decide how many days gap I want in between. There are some meals I definitely want to have before starting back up, namely pizza and tacos.

This journey has taught me a lot of things but has also made me keep in mind that I still have a long way to go. Staying in the moment has been a huge thing for me in the last week. But it’s the end game goal of who I am that I know I am reaching for.
