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 use it as an opportunity to teach him about taking care of others in our community in big and little ways. This is everything we got this month! #blessingbox #foodpantry #toddlermom

All you need is a can of biscuit dough and oil to make the favorite breakfast of my childhood!
Once you pop open your can of biscuit dough and separate the individual biscuits, you can cut a hole in the center and GENTLY add them to oil heated to 350-375 degrees. CAREFULLY flip over once brown on one side and once both sides are perfectly golden, transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil. 
Of course you can’t go without toppings! Our favorites are cinnamon sugar, powdered, and strawberry glazed, but you could make chocolate frosting, vanilla frosting, or even jelly filled! The possibilities are endless when the doughnuts are this easy to make 😊
