After the first week of 75 hard. Single word. Ouch!

Hi Everyone,

 

I have started 75 Hard on Monday, February 1st (2021).  It was definitely a tough week to get through.  Completing the challenges were sometimes ok and sometimes difficult.  However, at the end of the first week, my body was in A LOT of pain.

 

The week started out like normal with a few twists. Here was my routine,

Monday 6 am Weight lifting in my basement.  3 pm 45 min run.

Tuesday.  6 am Weightlifting.  Evening walk

Wednesay 6 am Weightlifting.  Evening Walk. 

Thursday.  6 am Skiprob routine for 30 mins and the rest Burpees.  Evening 45 min run. *** First real sense of accomplishment and personal sense of success.  Was very hard!

Friday.  Body felt dead but did Yoga in the AM and Walk in the evening.

Saturday. 6 am Run in -7C weather felt like -17C with the windshield.  Drop off leftover Chinese food I was not allowed to eat on the run to normal people that were allowed!

Sunday 9 am Walk and Youtube pilates with my wife!

 

After Thursday my body was very sore for a few days, adding that four day of intense workouts did it.  Everything hurt, the skip rob routine killed me.  I  faced my first challenge with food as my family bought Chinese food and I ate the diet version of it following my diet plan on Friday.  I made a game out of dropping off the leftover Chinese food to my friends in the area all while running and conquering my fears of running or even exercising on a Saturday morning.  It was pretty cold to boot, but anything is possible and I did it!  At the end of the week my wife was feeling left out as I was going to sleep early and rarely hanging out in the evening for downtime, so I even got her involved in a tandem workout!

 

The first week was a success, I just hope these pains go away.  Here we go again, week 2 ready to go! Man, 2 workouts a day, every day is going to take some time to get used to!

 

Enjoy!  Let me know how your first week went in the comments if you want!
