75 Medium: Week 5 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 5 of 75 medium is now 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 5 Recap

Overall, this week went well. It’s been fun to incorporate some different movement into my workout routine with kickboxing, and I really liked following the YouTube circuit by Fight Camp. Day 34 was Valentine’s day, so of course I ate some yummy dessert, but I had great workouts the day before and after! I also didn’t gorge myself on it, I tried to eat a reasonable amount. Sometimes I feel like it’s all about pacing yourself and cutting your portion size a bit!

The day after Valentine’s my husband and I went to the gym together because we had childcare for our son and we had a great workout, so that was a lot of fun!
