75 Soft? 75 Hard? Create Your CUSTOMIZABLE Challenge for Your Best Year Yet with the Goddess 75 Hard Challenge!

​The 75 Hard Challenge is a popular challenge that I started seeing back in November 2024 when a few creators that I watched were giving it a go. 
I was intrigued. I love a good challenge but then I learned about the rules. 

If you haven’t heard of this challenge, the rules are :

1. You have to drink a gallon of water each day
2. You have to complete 2 workouts, each for 45 minutes total and one has to be outside
3. You have to stick to a diet and not cheat
4. You have to read 10 pages a day of nonfiction
5. You cannot have soda or alcohol
6. You have to take a progress picture everyday 

I am not new to a hard workout regimen or challenge but I know myself enough to see that I would be set up for failure by trying to achieve all the steps because of my body's specific composition and needs.

But I still wanted to do a challenge because this one does have the bones for ingraining healthy habits into your life and if you’ve been on this journey with me then you already know that habits and what you do every day shape your life and future. 

So knowing that the 75 Hard rules would automatically make me fail, which I will explain in a second, I figured why not adjust it to something that would actually allow me to set myself up for success and still aim for the end goal that the original creator wanted. 

For the past few years I have been working on figuring out who I am and who I want to ultimately become, my ideal me or my goddess version of myself. 

And if you’ve already seen the video or read my blogs on this then you know that you have to set small enough goals to get you on the path to become that person and through the power of accurate self awareness you can adjust this plan to work for you and not against you. 

So with that, let’s get into how I modified the Hard 75 to work for every goddess out there!

Goddess 75 Hard 
When doing these challenges please have it come from a place of love and growth and acceptance. 
Not from trying to fit some kind of mold in order to feel like you will fit in once getting to the end. By being aware of who you are and what you want in life, it will detach you from the goal and move through life that is in the best interest of you and not put yourself in a harmful path to justify hurting yourself and self sabotaging by setting yourself up for failure.

The original challenge is set up for a lot of people to fail right out of the gate if you aren’t already someone who is physically fit and has the time to dedicate to this challenge. 

I, knowing my time and body constraints, tweaked it in the beginning like I am about to share with you, to make it so much more beneficial and helpful then just blindly following what someone else is doing that works for them and their unique body.

If you can handle more then by all means make sure that you craft it to be challenging for yourself.

HERE ARE THE NEW GODDESS RULES

HERE ARE THE NEW GODDESS RULES

1. Drink at least ½ a gallon of water each day. A full gallon is not safe for everyone but if you can then absolutely go for it, otherwise ½ gallon is solid.
2. Stick with a healthy meal plan OR work on healing your relationship with food everyday. Journaling about where your pain comes from (past, society, ex telling you something, etc) and redefining how you see food as something that fuels you and not condemns you. Also working on shifting from seeing your body as an object that other people look at and see it for the amazing vessel that helps you create your reality and is only meant for you.
3. Read 10 pages of non-fiction a day! 
4. Ideal Me Task 
   • Eliminate 1 toxic/bad habit from your life that will have an impact on you in a positive way. Things like alcohol, sugar, smoking, not talking to that person (you know who if this one speaks out to you), etc. 
   • OR doing 1 positive thing that reaches you to one of your ideal you goals and keep track of progress. 
5. 2 Workouts A Day for 6 days out of 7. 
   • One is walking outside (weather permitting - if bad, walk inside) starting at 10 minutes each day for the first week and then adding 5 minutes each week following (so week 2 would be 15 minutes each day then week 3 would be 20 and so on) until you hit 45 minutes of walking. If that is too easy for you then increase to whatever feels right. 
   • The other is a workout for 30 minutes doing whatever you feel like and is beneficial for you. 
6. Take a progress picture because you will change over the duration of this journey and a picture speaks more than a number on a scale that doesn't show you gaining muscle. YOU CAN DO THIS ONCE A WEEK instead of once a day!

At the end of the week - reflect on how amazing you did! Take a few minutes to remind yourself of why you want to do this and how it will feel when you complete this challenge! It’s ok to also express how hard this is but let it show you how strong you are for even attempting this and how you’ve already proven to yourself that you can handle more than you thought you could!
Also plan out some foods, workouts, books and whatever else you might need for the upcoming week to help make it as easy as possible for you to commit during the crazy work week. 

This is going to help restock your motivation and drive to go on the next week because there are going to be hard days where you are too tired to do anything.

HERE IS WHAT I’M DOING as an example! 

• Drink ½ gallon of water.
• I have a lot of food restrictions due to health conditions and thankfully healed my relationship with food so I don’t need to restrict anything else. But rather I am focusing on increasing protein (around 70 grams a day) and every morning take my seeds for seed cycling. I have PCOS among a lot of other health issues so that is my main focus here. 
• Reading 10 pages a day of nonfiction.
• Walking outside (weather dependent) with Daisy, my dog, each day with a ramping up time method and will alternate between Jiu-Jitsu, Yoga, Tai Chi and random YouTube Videos for my second workout.
• My Ideal Me task : everyday will be to post these videos on SM to get over my fear of being seen and making me get in the habit of being on camera again. FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM or YOUTUBE to see the journey!
• I will take photos everyday but won’t be sharing them because the internet is already a tough place and I’m doing this for me. I don’t really want to lose or gain weight, I just want to have a strong body that makes me feel happy and secure.

At the end of the week I will journal for at least 5 minutes about how I’m doing on this challenge, challenges that I faced with ways to fix the next week, ideas that came up, happy surprises or surprises I learned about myself (if any) and anything I want to keep my motivation high.

TIPS 

• Don’t start this tomorrow. Take your time to prepare. Figure out who you want to become, who you are right now and create goals that you then want to focus on in this challenge. I do have worksheets that you can grab here to help you on your journey.
• Go through those steps and then make a list of what foods you’ll eat and what books you want to read (you don’t have to go crazy here, just a few to relieve some stress/pressure the first week as you get used to this). What are some workouts you want to try? Also having a plan for when you start to feel like you’ve pushed yourself too hard. For example, I get a little eager when it comes to workouts and go crazy right out of the gate but I usually end up depleted and something winds up starting to hurt. When that happens, I have a recovery week planned when my knee starts to act up by doing yoga, pilates and tai chi routines for my workouts instead of my squat jumps and burpees. It’s good to have an idea of what to do when something that you notice about yourself comes up and a way to keep yourself on track. For maybe someone who finds themselves cheating on their meal plan, taking the step to make sure that there are no trigger foods in the home and staying away from people or situations that trigger you to cheat too. Self awareness plays a massive role in this and many other challenges that you do and will save you so much pain and shame. Read the last bullet point in this section if you find yourself here a lot <3.
• Then write your motivation for wanting to do this. Make sure that your “why” is strong enough to get you through the tough days because there will be tough days when you’re tired beyond belief or traveling or something that will want to take you off your path. 
• Create a reward that is in line with who you want to become that you will give yourself when you complete it. Have it be good enough to keep you excited. 
• HABIT STACK DURING YOUR DAY! In the mornings, I habit stack posting yesterday's reel, my seed cycling and protein by putting my protein collagen in my coffee and putting my seeds in my protein cereal so I have 29 grams of protein already accountanted for, posting reel and seeds done for the day. Then around lunch time, I have a remote job, I take my progress picture then workout using an app on my phone or youtube video and start drinking my water for the day and read my book to get the next few items done. Then I keep drinking water while I finish up my work day and end the work day by walking. All that’s left by the time dinner rolls around is to finish water if I haven’t already and my remaining protein. By trying to group as many items as I can together, it saves me brain power to try to remember doing 6 different things throughout the day and instead be like I need to complete my morning block, lunch block and dinner block. 

EXAMPLE HABIT STACK if you don’t work from home :
Wake Up Block : Progress picture (you get a better visual of your body before any potential inflaming actions take place like food or stress), meal plan, potential morning workout/walk,  ideal you task if possible
Lunch Block : Meal plan, read, water, walk with coworkers if possible
After Work : Meal plan, water, ideal you task, workout/walk if not done yet
Before Bed : Read if haven't done yet, journal, calming yoga or tai chi before bed if you haven't finished the two workouts.

• START OFF EASY YOUR FIRST TIME AROUND WITH THIS! Don’t make huge lofty goals but start off with things you think you can manage because you can always redo this and ramp it up after taking a week break. I plan on doing this again but increasing something that I feel I can manage. This is going to be a lot so don’t set yourself up for failure. Love yourself enough to know what you can handle for your first spin at this!
• Think about doing a warm up week to work out kinks and see how it realistically will fit into your life. I did this before starting this challenge and writing this guide out. I’m glad I did because the protein goal I had before was 100g and my husband who does bodybuilding is like — that’s way too high for someone who workouts like I do (and I’m 5 foot so a lot for my shorter body) and that 100 is usually for people who weight lift. And I’m glad I lowered it because it was increasing my calories by a crap ton and made me feel sluggish so I had to adjust that down. I also had to give up my lofty workout plan because life gets so busy as I’m sure a lot of you already know and finding the energy to do my big workouts was just not going to cut it so opted for following apps routine and youtube videos I’ve done before and know I can do in a set amount of time and energy. Had I just jumped into this without doing a warm up week, I would’ve failed and had to restart anyways and felt like I failed and I was a failure. If this is your first time doing something like this, gift yourself the grace of time to figure it out. It takes a minute.
• Understand that if you “fail” this, that doesn’t mean you are a failure. Just that you might’ve been a little too eager lmao Take a breath and hop back on when you’re ready with any lessons learned from before. It’s ok to make it easier when you restart, this is about consistency and we don’t want that consistency to be you trying to push yourself to the absolute max and  killing yourself over a dumb challenge. Relax and know that it’ll work out and have it come from somewhere of health and happiness rather than panic and self loathing. You’ll have a better time and increase your likelihood of completing this. YOU GOT THIS GODDESS!

How I am keeping myself accountable 

• I am posting a reel everyday over on my Instagram and on my 2nd YouTube channel as shorts to not clutter the main account. 
• I am making this video/blog to help motivate me and keep me on track to becoming who I know I can be and come back when I forget something.
• Keeping track of my daily to dos on a notion page, that you can download (once I finish making it, join the newsletter if you haven’t already to get notified), that I have on my phones home screen to update once I complete a task just to make it easier on myself.
• MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WAY TO KEEP YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE! It could be you telling a friend or loved one each day that you met your goal or not. Or maybe if you don’t complete a week you have to donate a certain amount of money to a cause you really DON’T want to. This helps people who are more motivated by negative actions than positive ones because the thought of giving your hard earned money to someone who you hate will make you want to complete a task more than wanting to feel comfortable by not doing the task. Just have it be something that will actually make you want to stick to this when you really don’t want to. 

CONCLUSION 
So there you have it, how I am going to modify the 75 Hard to work for a Goddess and move me further on my journey!

I would love to know your thoughts and if you are going to try it or if you would’ve changed something!

I do want to keep it hard but in a way where you can work up to the end goal of the 75 Hard or a harder version of this because going from couch potato (referring to myself here) to doing two 45 minute workouts a day is begging for me to aggravate a health condition or get injured. 

Or simply it could be too big of a task with no habits in place that will leave me discouraged and feeling worse about myself. 

So that’s why I wanted to focus more on building the habit with enough room to be unique for where you are in life and make progress on what actually makes you excited to work towards.

If you want to follow my journey, follow me on my socials to partner up and motivate each other on or just see how I’m doing while trying this out!

I will make a follow up once I complete the challenge!

I’m a week in already and just having to do this many things a day is already overwhelming and hard to find the time to do it all with a full time job so I’m really glad to have made it an easier approach because I know that it will get easier and faster the more I make this normal. It is do-able if you set yourself up for success each week 😀

Wish me luck and I wish you the best of luck as well sweet soul!

And remember to ask yourself, “what could I become and accomplish if I embraced the energy of the goddess within?” because I for one would love to see who you become.

Remember that you are beyond worthy of anything you want in life.

Let’s stick together and cheer each other on my fellow goddess!

I believe in you sweet soul and until next time, I wish you peace, strength and hope.
