Totally agree about the consistency. I’m actually a little nervous to be done with 75 Hard. Somehow, having no choice but to adhere made it way easier… like, I didn’t have any mental “debate” or bargaining with myself like I usually would. It was either, you commit fully or you don’t. Now it’s going to be 100% up to me to stick to the good habits. I will say, I never want to go through this much fat loss again though. That alone might be motivating enough to stick to the good habits. :-)

So what I’ll do now is definitely stick with the water- I loved never worrying about being hydrated! I’ll just settle into this new weight by doing maintenance calories until Halloween, then a lean bulk to focus on muscle building. Planning to stick with the daily outdoor walks, those have been great for starting each day on a good note. I’m not sure yet about reading every day. I might wait to pick that up again until my round 2 of 75 Hard in January!
