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! 🙂

Sometimes, boys have childhoods that are centered Sometimes, boys have childhoods that are centered around traditionally boy-ish things like trucks and sports, and while my son LOVES those things, I think boys don’t always get all the whimsy that girls get.

DIY No-Sew Fabric Birthday Banner!! 🥳🎉🎈 This is a DIY No-Sew Fabric Birthday Banner!! 🥳🎉🎈
This is a great project to use up fabric scraps and an old bed sheet with no sewing machine required.
You will need an iron, fabric, fabric scissors, a printer, Heat N Bond, and hem adhesive. Hopefully this tutorial is helpful to anyone trying to make a similar birthday banner without sewing experience. It’s fun to make and I love knowing that we can use this banner for all the birthdays to come! 🥹❤️ #whimsy #birthdaycrafts #toddlermom #whimsicalchildhood

Fighting some kind of respiratory virus while preg Fighting some kind of respiratory virus while pregnant, parenting a toddler, and trying to maintain a carb-conscious diet is not for the weak! Here’s what I ate in a day pregnant: SICK EDITION 🤧 my dietician had told me back with my first pregnancy that your blood sugars are going to be naturally higher when you are sick, so if you are checking blood sugars while sick and with gestational diabetes, it may be harder to keep them in range. Take care of yourself and try your best ❤️ #pregnant #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic
The concept of pregnancy is magical and I am so th The concept of pregnancy is magical and I am so thankful, but also I cannot LOOK at raw meat, I’m googling everything, and this baby might be 90% French fries from the 1st trimester 🤪 but my 1st trimester was soooooo much easier this time than with my first! #pregnancy #pregnancyhumor #pregnant

Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy with my son, I’m being carb-conscious while I wait to take my glucose test at about 24 weeks pregnant. I’m roughly following the guidelines I was given back in 2022, but obviously not monitoring blood sugars at this time since I don’t officially have a diagnosis at this time. Hopefully this gives you some meal and snack ideas if you are being carb-conscious or have gestational diabetes! #gestationaldiabetes #pregnancy #whatiatetoday
