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 6 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 6 Recap
As of this week, I am down 4 pounds. I started this challenge at 143 pounds and am now down to 139. Weight is really not my goal here though (otherwise I would be paying more attention to calories in this challenge). But I am feeling more comfortable in my clothes, which I’m happy about!
I need to start planning which days I do my red light therapy, because that is the thing I have been slacking the most on. I think if I consistently say I do it on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday (or something), then maybe I will stop forgetting!
