I think the point is to stick at it long enough to have truly developed new habits?


Something like this is way too much. You are far more likely to exhaust yourself and stop completely than develop new healthy habits.


How is this exhausting? I typically go to OTF in the morning (1 hr exercise) then walk in the evening after work (at kids practice or just with husband after dinner). Is reading exhausting? Is not getting drunk exhausting? You are just too much drama to be on this thread.

It's NOT (as many pp's mentioned) limited to motivational or self-help. The plan is for NON - fiction. LOTs and LOTs and LOTs of nonfiction choices out there. You should read the standards before b$itching.


Wow. If you read my post, I wrote "Or non-fiction" ... I have a preference for reading what I want. And reading self-help and lots and lots of non-fiction isn't for me. What is magical about non-fiction? Although I do read self-help on occassion, and non-fiction regularly, but by far I prefer fiction. And that is how I spend my reading time. As a result, the Hard 75, with the directive for self-help (or, as stated, non-fiction) reading every day is not for me.

Thank you for your input.

If you cheat on 75 Hard the clock restarts. You should really commit to no cheat days. Just a few weeks of bad behavior modification.

So, yes, eating well and exercising for that amount of time each day will make or keep you slim.

I do read about one novel per week, and I never read "motivational or self-improvement" literature because I prefer fiction. I doubt reading cheesy self-help books is going to improve your body or mind, but audio books while running are a great motivator for me.


How fat were you when you were fat?
