75 Medium: Week 1 Recap, Meals, Workouts, and Tips

75 Medium· Health

75 Medium recaps are BACKKKKK! It’s been 9-10 months since I completed my first round of 75 medium and with the start of the new year, and end of the holidays, it felt like a great time to get that jump start again from 75 medium! In 2025, I am doing slightly different rules from my 2024 round of 75 medium, so if you want to read more about my new rules and want your own free printable tracker, you can check it out here:

75 Medium Week 1 Overall Recap

Overall this week went well! I didn’t wake up at 6:30 am for like 2 days because I forgot to set my alarm (oops), but I’ve got my alarm clock set daily now and I’ve been pretty good about it! I am really excited to make my red light panel more of a consistent routine, I feel like I am noticing more of a difference in my skin with the more consistent use. Eating hasn’t been quite at the level I want it to be, but I think as I get more in the swing of things, I will get more inspired with recipe ideas. I do NEED to come up with a new breakfast idea, but I just love my daily breakfast burrito! Exercise has been the hardest part so far. I am lacking in motivation for the bike and I think I probably need to add something new into my routine to replace it. Perhaps getting back into kickboxing or Pilates is in the cards for me! 🙂

I’m not clear on the status of raw berries rn so I I’m not clear on the status of raw berries rn so I guess let’s cook some raspberries up and make some raspberry-fudge pudding popsicles with a secret healthy ingredient 🤫🥑🤷‍♀️

RASPBERRY FUDGE POPSICLES 🥑🍫
Raspberry Part:
-~6 oz of fresh/frozen raspberries
-2 tbsp of sugar (I used coconut sugar)
•add raspberries and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and let boil for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often to get a jammy consistency

Chocolate Part
1 avocado
1/2 cup milk
2-3 tbsp cocoa powder (depending on how chocolatey you want it!)
Splash of vanilla
Pinch of salt
Maple syrup to taste
•add all to a blender and blend until smooth

•layer chocolate and raspberry portions in a popsicle mold. You can use a toothpick or wooden skewer to swirl the layer a bit before adding sticks and freezing for at least 6 hours
•you may need to run warm water outside of your molds to help remove the popsicles when you’re ready to enjoy ❤️

This makes 6 popsicles with the molds I have but it may vary depending on the size you are using. You also may have leftover raspberry sauce!! It’s really good on Greek yogurt for a parfait or on ice cream 😉 #healthydessert #kidrecipes #toddlermom #easyrecipe

Should I fear a squirrel retaliation? 🐿️🫣 I shared Should I fear a squirrel retaliation? 🐿️🫣
I shared the picture of all of the peanuts in my car on my stories and it gave so many people a laugh, so I figured I would share the quick story time about getting my oil changed 🙃 #storytime
I scored this free water feature on Facebook marke I scored this free water feature on Facebook marketplace with hopes to make a mini wildlife pond in my garden to attract frogs, toads, and any other creatures in our yard! 🐸🐦‍⬛🦌
After I dug a big hole (no easy feat in this heat and with all this NC red clay), I buried the water feature so that it was level with the ground. I added some water plants native to my area: blue eyed grass and pickerel weed and also added some rocks so that animals could get in and out if needed. Once I filled it with water, I also added a solar fountain and mosquito dunks to keep those suckers away 🙃

To my toddler’s excitement, within a day, we already had frog visitors! Now I just need to decide what to plant around it 🤔🌼🪻 #garden #toddlermom #backyardwildlife
some nights I put my toddler to bed and I’m like “ some nights I put my toddler to bed and I’m like “yeah tonight’s all about me”— this was one of those nights!

Thanks so much to @sassysaints for gifting me with their gel nail wraps! This color is Sugar Glaze and you can use code SARAANN10 to save some $$$!
