Welcome to Episode #150! Today I'm going to be talking about #75HARD. A little over 3 months ago I randomly came across a podcast, Episode #290 of The MFCEO Project by Andy Frisella: A 75 Day Guide To Winning The War With Yourself. In it he launched his program, #75HARD, which has now become a worldwide movement. I decided shortly after listening to this episode to start the programme myself. There was just something about Andy's energy, his message that resonated with me. A little under 3 months later I've completed it. A massive thank you to everyone who's supported me on this journey, and especially to those who have joined me on #75HARD. The program was a mental endurance challenge - with physical benefits. I completed: 👉🏻 150 workouts in 75 days 👉🏻 75 days of Keto - which I hated - with zero cheat meals 👉🏻 75 days without alcohol 👉🏻 75 gallons of water drunk 👉🏻 750 pages of entrepreneurial/self help books read 👉🏻 Progress pic taken each day Results: 💓 Resting heart rate: Down from 66 to 50 🏋️♀️ Body Fat: Down 7% from 24.7 to 17.7% 🍩Weight: Down 1.5 Stones from 12:12 to 11:7 🤸🏻♂️Energy: Off the chart. Simply don’t get tired anymore. No post lunch-induced coma at work 🧖♂️Skin: Clear complexion:Not red or blotchy anymore 🎙Reached the #1 goal I set for myself in 2019 - getting a #1 ranked podcast in iTunes Observations: 👊🏻Dream bigger & set bigger goals - when I started this challenge my aim was to merely finish & lose a stone. If I realised what I was actually capable of, I would have set far bigger Smart goals. 👊🏻I’ve gotten this far in life with using only a fraction of my potential 👊🏻I am 100% in control of my success & failure - in anything I choose 👊🏻I’m actually mentally tougher than I thought 👊🏻The harder things are, the more I’ve learnt to embrace them & actually enjoy them 👊🏻It’s nothing to do with proving anything to anyone. It’s all about proving the voice in my head is wrong. 👊🏻I’ve been physically more tired than I’ve ever been, but the most mentally awake & focused Two things I found out I love: 🏃♂️ Running - against other people & the clock. Developed an addiction to Poole parkrun, started 6 weeks ago & so far knocked 8 minutes+ off my PB 🧘🏼♂️Yoga - with no other people & no clock! Especially The Strength Temple with Richie Norton courtesy of Fiit Regrets? 😔Only that I wish I’d dreamt bigger & set bigger goals to achieve. 💆🏻♂️ Wish I’d had more than the 1 sports massage my wife Carly Chisnall kindly booked me, as I battled, at times, excruciating lower back pain What next? There is a next! I’ll be releasing a podcast about it this Wednesday- link in the comments below if you’d like to subscribe in advance⬇️ plus the link to the man who started #75HARD Andy Frisella from 1st Phorm Massive Thankyou to all the support I’ve had, and especially to those who have taken up the challenge too💪🏻 #Screwitjustdoit #0to100
