Week 11 of 75 medium is down and we are counting down the final days! In case you missed week 1, week 2, week 3 , week 4, week 5, week 6, week 7, week 8, week 9, and week 10 recaps, there are plenty of other meal ideas for 75 medium there. If you are also doing the 75 medium challenge (or the 75 Hard or 75 soft challenge), hopefully these posts can give you some healthy meal ideas and inspiration or (at the very least) solidarity– I know that’s what I sometimes have the most difficulty with!

And just in case you have zero idea what the 75 medium challenge is, here is a video and a post to fill you in:

75 Medium Week 11 Recap

The final week! I am going to work on a full recap post chronicling my thoughts on the journey as a whole, tips, and favorite meals, but the end of this journey was timed perfectly! I am going to Isle of Palms, SC the day after this challenge is complete and won’t have access to a gym. I didn’t mean to time things this way, but it worked out great!

I am so glad I did this challenge and that I am now in the routine of working out daily. It doesn’t feel like a chore now: it is just something I do. I overall feel so good, and want to keep doing consistent exercise to maintain how I feel. No regrets!

Day 71/75 (3/6/24)

Exercise: Active recovery day– did lots of walking and took a 45 minute walk after dinner

Also snacked on lots of sweets today (because it was my birthday!), but honestly didn’t eat a ton of each thing

Lunch: smoothie (blueberries, spinach, protein powder, milk, and yogurt) and crackers with pimento cheese

Day 75/75

Exercise: Gym for abs, back, and arms

Breakfast: Quiche with brussel sprouts, bacon, and tomatoes (didn’t really follow a recipe; however, this one I made with sausage, gouda, and spinach has similar proportions and cooking time)
