2026 Financial Goals: Checking In

I’m a goal-setter. I like to have something I’m working toward, always. And when I set goals, I often set them across multiple different categories (e.g., health/wellness, financial, relationships, personal development, motherhood, professional, etc.).

On August 1st I started a new fitness challenge: 75 Soft. This is a lighter variant of the 75 Hard workout challenge that became popular during pandemic times when author Andy Frisella published his book about the challenge. I’ve had a few friends try it, but this is my first time jumping on the bandwagon.

In the original version (the “hard” version), you follow a diet, do two 45-minute workouts per day (one must be outside), read 10 pages of nonfiction per day (no audiobooks), drink 1 gallon of water per day, take daily progress pictures, and restart the entire challenge if you fail any of the requirements.
