Day 16: 75 Hard Recap

I wake up before my alarm. 6:22. I love when that happens.

Progress photo, check.

25 oz of water, chugged.

I make drip coffee and clean around the house. I have work at 10 am, so I need to get my first workout in before then.

At 8:30, I head downstairs to my home gym and do 40 minutes on the stairmaster while reading my Kindle. 10 pages of reading done. I chug more water.

I stretch and foam roll for another 5–10 minutes. I’ve started stretching after my workouts lately, 30 seconds for everything, and it has honestly helped me so much. It’s one of those things where you’re just like, why have I not been doing this every single day???

It’s raining outside — I’m flustered because I have to open at work and set everything up outside, and I already feel like I’m starting to develop a cough because it’s been so cold at work lately.

I ran over to Target to get water, and I noticed that Alani Nu had come out with new energy drinks. They partnered with Emily Ratajkowsk ifor them. I snag two.

I rush home in the rain, I’m soaked through, and I set a pot on the stove to make boiled eggs as I shower and get ready for work.

I walk in the rain with my umbrella. There’s no point in driving because it’s a 10-minute walk, and I don’t want to pay $20 to park in a parking garage. I’d rather buy overpriced coffee instead (lol).

I listened to The Skinny Confidential while I did my opening sidework.

It’s raining pretty hard, and my manager comes out and tells me I don’t need to do the work because of the rain, but I tell him it will have to be done by someone at some point, so I’d rather do it now. He shrugs and walks off to the farmers market with his umbrella.

The episode I’m listening to is incredible. I’d listened to it during my walk on Friday night, and I restarted it that morning.

I feel like I need to listen to things multiple times to absorb even a fraction of the information. Is something wrong with my brain? I wonder.
