75 Medium: Week 10 Recap (Meal Ideas, Workouts, and Inspo)

75 Medium· Health

Week 10 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, and week 9 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 10 Recap

Final stretch! I am ALMOST done with this challenge although a lot of the things I’m doing I plan to continue doing because it is habit at this point. Once it’s over I will definitely give myself more grace about workouts, but I feel good doing some kind of workout every day, so I WANT to stick with it. This week was the second time during this challenge that I had alcohol. Limiting my alcohol has been the easiest thing to stick to– probably because I’m not a huge drinker anyway.

I am excited to be done though, mostly to feel less obligated to sticking to everything. The diet part of this isn’t too challenging– mostly because I think you can allow yourself treats but you can balance it with a salad, or fruit, or something high in protein to make it a well-rounded meal. As you will see, I had pizza this week and I don’t feel an ounce of guilt about it! You shouldn’t either if you are doing this challenge and don’t eat something that is super nutrient dense. Limit your portion size and balance it with something that is nutrient dense!

I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/hi I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/high protein breakfast muffins often in my first pregnancy and honestly have enjoyed them well beyond pregnancy! They’re only 5 ingredients and give the bready texture I was missing when I had gestational diabetes. It’s kind of similar to a sausage ball! I normally eat 2-3 muffins for breakfast as each muffin has about 7 grams of carbs and 12 grams of protein!

5-INGREDIENT SAVORY BREAKFAST MUFFINS
* 1 pound of turkey sausage (or whatever type you like)
* 4 eggs
* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
* 1 cup Kodiak cake baking mix
* 1/3 cup cottage cheese

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray
2. In a pan over medium heat, add the sausage and crumble while cooking. Cook until no longer pink. Remove from heat and allow to cool briefly.
3. In a bowl, crack the eggs and lightly beat. Add shredded cheese, kodiak mix, cooked sausage, and cottage cheese and mix well (mixture will be thick)
4. Fill the 12 prepared muffin cups evenly with the mixture.
5. Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until golden brown on top

Recipe Notes
If meal prepping for the week, store leftovers in a container in the fridge. You can heat by microwaving for about 1 minute. I prefer to reheat them by microwaving a couple for 15-30 seconds and then pop them in the air fryer at 350 for 3-5 minutes.

When I had my first child, I underestimated the po When I had my first child, I underestimated the power of a peaceful bedroom to recover postpartum and exist in the newborn bubble. It might sound kind of silly, but I want to create a peaceful haven in my bedroom for postpartum because the newborn trenches are tough! 

I’m going for neutral in here, but more layered, earthy, textured and elevated (without feeling formal). Next up is styling my bed, giving my nightstands and dressers and makeover, and lots more decor and styling! #homediy #pregnancy #bedroommakeover #bedroomdecor

The Secret Cocoa Butter Invisible Solid is my FAVORITE, and its all day freshness gives me a boost of confidence throughout the day. #RomanticizingLife #ToddlerMom @secretdeodorant

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. Whimsy is for girls AND boys!! Every childhood deserves to be whimsical 🥰 #toddlermom #toddleractivities #whimsy #whimsicalhome
