Day 23 of 75 Soft: Listening to My Body (and the Weather)

Day 23 is in the books, and today was a reminder that this journey isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency and making choices that still move me forward.

I had every intention of sticking to my usual routine, including my swim, but when the time came, it was just a little too cold outside for me to feel motivated to get in the water. Instead of forcing it and risking a miserable workout (or talking myself out of everything altogether), I made the decision to skip the swim today—and honestly, I feel good about that choice.

Because here’s the thing: I still showed up.

I completed my 45-minute walks, and I didn’t just go through the motions—I pushed myself. I wore my 10 lb weighted vest and walked at a 2.5 speed with a 2.5 incline. It wasn’t easy, but it felt strong. Every step felt intentional, like I was building endurance not just physically, but mentally too.

I’m learning that progress doesn’t always look like doing everything perfectly. Sometimes it looks like adjusting, pivoting, and still putting in the work. Today was one of those days.

There’s a big difference between making an excuse and making a smart decision. Skipping the swim wasn’t me quitting—it was me choosing a path that still kept me aligned with my goals.

And that’s what 75 Soft is really teaching me: balance, discipline, and self-awareness.

On to Day 24—stronger, wiser, and still showing up.
