Week 3 of 75 medium is complete, so it’s time for a recap of what I ate, what workouts I completed, and how things are going, so that if you are in the same boat, you may get some meal inspiration and some solidarity. You all will be proud of me that I am trying something new for breakfast this week and even tried out the protein bagel recipe again this week. I am getting closer to perfecting the recipe so I hopefully can post a formal recipe to share with you all soon!

75 Medium Week 3 Recap
What is this like a little over a quarter way through (maybe a third through?) the 75 medium challenge? Things have been going well, but I plan on mixing up my workouts a bit next week to include kickboxing, so I am really excited about that! I feel like I’ve hit a wall with my current workout and I’m hoping this will help.
I was traveling for over 6 hours on day 21, so I wasn’t super hungry after stopping for food at lunchtime, and I managed to finish 1 of my audio books and make major progress on another one! I’ve been enjoying this way of absorbing non-fiction a lot more than I did in round 1 of 75 medium when I was forced to read a physical non-fiction book 🙂
Here’s a little tip if you are a soda drinker! I’m not big on soda, but I like it as a treat every once in a while. If you are a big soda drinker, I really recommend cutting back for this challenge and swapping for sparkling water or a prebiotic soda! I love the cherry limeade Poppi but I recently found that they have an Aldi brand prebiotic soda that is a little bit cheaper. It’s actually a bit less carbs and calories than the Poppi one. It tastes a little less sweet and fruity to me, but my husband actually preferred the Aldi one (but they taste SUPER similar and close!).
