75 Medium: Week 4 Recap, Meals, Workouts, and Tips

75 Medium· Health

I am currently in the thick of the 75 medium challenge (a fitness challenge somewhere between 75 hard and 75 easy. For me now, week 4 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 whether you are participating in 75 easy, 75 medium, or 75 hard (or just trying to start making healthier choices without putting a label on it!).

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 4 Recap, Meals, Workouts, and Tips
I got this Everlast freestanding punching bag off FB marketplace for $50 and I’ve been enjoying it to mix up my workouts at home!

Day 25

Breakfast: egg sausage muffin cups made with kodiak cake mix– I’m still working on trialing this recipe and I’ll let you know when it’s perfect so I can share it with you all!

I like that these Goodles are higher in fiber and protein and have a lot of added nutrients from vegetables!

@saraannsutton Trying out my hand at doing inclusion loaves of sourdough and decided to try my regular sourdough recipe with lemon zest, fresh blueberries, and a lemon/honey syrup on top! I think I should have baked this one a little longer than normal and done MORE inclusions, but ya live and learn 😇 #sourdough #baking ♬ TY FOR USING MY SOUND – ໒꒰ྀི ๑ ´ ˘ ` ू ꒱ྀིაᰔᩚ܀∘˚🎀🫧🍭

75 Medium: Week 4 Recap, Meals, Workouts, and Tips

Lunch: skipped because I was so full from this bagel!

Dinner: out for pizza and Philly cheese-steaks and had 1 cocktail while out (my first alcohol while doing this challenge!)

Workout: gym for strength training (leg day)

75 Medium Week 4 Recap

This was a pretty good week! I think I nailed the protein bagel recipe (finally), so I plan to take some photos and make it a formal recipe post soon. I also think I figured out the protein pizza crust recipe!

This was the first week that I have had alcohol since this challenge started, and I paired it with some pizza and a Philly cheese-steak (both of which I split with my husband). Could I have been better? Sure. But like I said in my original post about this challenge, I don’t like to restrict myself on things; I think that’s an unsustainable mindset. I’m more-so about making mindful swaps, decreasing portion sizes, and trying to prioritize fiber and protein.

An area of improvement is my sleep! It has been SO hard to wake up at 6:30 am like I plan to with this challenge. I think the extra exercise wears me out so much that I need a bit more sleep, so I need to start bumping my bedtime a little earlier!
