In this video, I’m looking back at the different “glow up” style challenges I tried—75 Hard, 75 Soft, and an 8-week challenge—and what actually moved the needle for me in 2025. My goal wasn’t just to be “fit,” it was to feel like the healthiest version of myself mentally, physically, and emotionally. I talk through what it was like trying to stay consistent day after day, what felt motivating at first, and what started to feel unrealistic when real life inevitably happened. The biggest takeaway? The stuff that worked wasn’t always the most extreme. I learned that discipline matters, but balance matters too—because if a plan doesn’t fit into your actual schedule, it’s not going to last. I also share the mindset shifts that helped me stay motivated even when things weren’t perfect, and how I approached building habits I could keep long-term (especially if you’re in weight-loss maintenance like me). If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed by which challenge to pick, I made this to help you figure out what’s worth sticking with—and what’s just noise.
