Took me a while to get a video up on this channel, but I'm excited about it. Would love to get to you know you guys so feel free to drop me a comment - Kevin
Just saw this and it’s perfect! Perfect timing.
So coincidental: just a few days ago, a co-worker mentioned he's starting the 75 Hard Challenge. (I hadn't heard of it - I live under a rock, obvi) Then, here you are talking about your own experience with it. Congratulations for completing the challenge. More importantly though - congratulations for identifying what you need, finding a process to get it - and then going for it.
Thank you! It's a fantastic challenge, highly recommend
I am under a bolder. LOL! I never heard of it either.
Thank You so so much Kevin.
Thank You for sharing your thoughts and also your problems.
It's really nice to see the real human behind all of your "big gardening business".
Keep going! ☀️🙏
Appreciate you!!!
This is one of the best 75 Hard Challenge reviews that I've seen by far.
Wow! I didn’t even realize this wasn’t your gardening channel until you said it. Thanks for sharing, I love this. Especially coming from a man. It is hard to lose weight and added with all the emotions attached the way you said is so true. Can’t wait to hear more about what you have to share. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Welcome!
I've never heard of this challenge. It really sounds like something I should go for. Retraining into healthy food choices, habits, good use of time. I am interested in the blood work video. Ive been checking my blood work trying to work through some things. I love how this was filmed infront of the pond.
It's a pretty extreme challenge, but definitely worth doing!
You should mention this channel on EG and EH. I found it totally by accident.
I'd like to grow it separately :)
I got diagnosed with diabetes on January 17 2024 it was devastating to me because I have always loved sweets.. But decided to get my diabetes under control and 5 months later I have lost 31 ponds by changing my eating habits.. Most important eat breakfast!! I have noticed that I stay full until lunch time with no need to snack.. Cut all my sugar intake.. I switched to splenda for my coffee.. Drink Lots of water.. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables .. I watch my carbs and I don't eat passed 6:30 .. I wish u all a happy and healthy life 😊 thank u for the video.. It's always so nice to see someone succeed with something that's very hard to do for us all
Proud of you!
@@kevinmespiritu thank u ❤
You did well man. Although I am lucky in the sense I don't put on much weight, I still comfort eat and this can result in bad food choices. Chocolate and crisps etc lol. Gotta eat well. So important.
Yup, those 30’s are a real eye opener!
Honestly, I could see the weight creeping up and am very impressed, not only by the fact that you have lost it, but that you have allowed the life style disciplines into your life to eat better, etc. and improve your health. It’s a wise and grounded person who understands the connect between healthy food and healthy being. I also agree that 50% of the success of this type of undertaking, is having someone to share it with.
Trust the advice that what you do early in life, will come back to haunt or heighten your quality of life much later on.
And…any experience or knowledge that has sincerely directed your life for the better would make great topics for this channel.
It’s good to see men opening up about real things. I’ve personally been fighting some “seemingly random” anxiety. I’m realizing that I have been stuffing my emotions with food and entertainment. It’s wild that simply talking with a professional has helped to get my head straight and begin to be honest when I’m not doing well.
Keep the videos coming homie.
Been there bro. It gets easier over time as awareness builds
Kevin first of all, you look great, keep it up. Second, I have much respect for you as an entrepreneur. Ive been completely addicted to watching Epic gardening not (only) bc I’m an avid gardener but bc of the genius business and marketing approach you have. Absolutely killing it. Very inspiring. ❤
Thank you so much Anya!!!
Eric,
Again, thanks for sharing this and for focusing more on this channel.
This video really spoke to me: my doctor recently told me that my blood pressure and cholesterol are through the roof, and my liver enzymes aren't great. I've been needing to make a change for a while. For example, today I had leftover pizza for lunch and then spent 5 hours editing a video that I told myself "would only take a couple of hours." The 20 minutes per day on the treadmill goal is a distant memory.
I can see myself completing this challenge, but worry that I'm the type that'll be "whew! glad that's over" and go right back to my old habits. It's also a struggle because my housemates (aka parents) are set in their ways, and get surly even when I say "hey I'll just eat my own thing and you do you." I think the "it's on doctor's orders" finally got through to them though!
Sorry for oversharing, and conversely thank you for sharing so much!
Trust me. When you do 75 days of it, it's hard to go back
With changes that are so hard to consistently do, yet will be able to give uou such a profound change, why go back? 👍🏼
I think the 'going thru" will change you more than you think, and you won't just go back to your old ways. Try it. :) I am.
Who comes up with these things?! LOL! I looked it up on Pinterst and there are two more. The medium and soft 75 Challenge. For my lifestyle the medium or more appropriate. Nice! Happy for you.
Love the waterfalls 😉
Same ;)
Hi Kevin! Fellow San Diegan here and long time fan of Epic Gardening.
I can’t believe I am just now finding out that you have a personal channel! Anyways, I feel like I found this video when I really needed to. I am thinking of starting the 75 Hard Challenge, and I love the way you explained everything and shared your personal journey. It’s very inspiring. Wishing you all the best in your future projects. Keep doing what you’re doing, you have a gift!
Glad you enjoyed this!!!
Super cool to hear about your success, keep it up, rooting for you! As a parent of a growing family, i'll consider this discipline. i'm in survival mode and often turn to the pizza, pints of ben and jerrys, and carne asada burritos.
I'm sure it's super tough w/ kids. Hoping you can find a path to more discipline as well!
Love this channel. Looking great, Kevin.
I want more of this. I can't tell you how much I needed this video. Thank you.
Thank you…. Great video.. 😊
Awesome video. Such good thoughts, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been excited to hear about your results since I saw you were doing this on Twitter! That’s awesome and inspiring.
Thank you Charmaine!
Very inspiring! i actually enjoy this content too, as it’s very relatable to how i feel; can’t wait for the next video 🎉
Glad you enjoyed! Appreciate the comment
This is an amazing video and I really hope more people come across this.
Thank you for your openness, Kevin.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is great Kevin. PS the pond looks so pretty!
Thanks!
Good to see you back on this channel.
Thanks Louisa, feels good to create here again
I have never heard of this challenge. It sounds great! Good for you for completing it and thanks for sharing it!
You are so welcome!
I absolutely agree with your thoughts on consistency!
Glad to hear!
Wow great video - thank you for such a positive and insightful video. Watching from Australia where we are in spring time so it is a great time of year to get out exercising outdoors (and gardening 😂). I feel like I needed to see this for inspiration to start something similar myself. I’m a big fan of epic gardening and just happened to go checking out other channels for more content on the day that you released this video!
Appreciate the kind words! Jealous that you're heading into spring
So impressed by your grit & results!! You look amazing
🥰
Really great video, Kevin! So appreciate your authenticity and how you openly shared your experience. I am a fan of gardening but also a huge fan of yours. Can’t wait to hear more!
Awesome, thank you! More to come.
This video was so helpful! Every single one of your points hit home with me! I’m starting on Monday. Thank you for the transparency and the wisdom!
You got this!
I’m thinking of doing this now Kevin thanks for the motivation 👍😊
Get after it!
Aloha Kevin and thank you for this great video... so many great inspirations for the beginning of the year, I appreciated your honesty here and so grateful for all your tips... especially the consistency vs intensity since I tend to go more intense and then burn out...
Yeah try to keep it in a more consistent state so you don't have to continually motivate yourself!
Thank you for the motivation! ❤ I’m thinking about starting the challenge. Kudos to you! Takes a lot of dedication
You can do it!
I had not heard of this before. Thanks for sharing.
You bet
Congrats Kevin, that is a great accomplishment! I am trying to get in shape for the gardening season (its 10 degrees here now.) I want to be able to keep doing yardwork as long as I can.
Get after it!
Great video and excellent jo of explaining it. Loving this channel as well and you look great! Very handsome!
Thank you!
I just love watching you,well listening lol since i work 7 days a week but it still counts lol. But i wish i could help ❤. I hope for the best for you and your life. If you need help with anything dont be afraid to ask and ill see what i can do since im here in Georgia. We love you kevin ❤️
Appreciate you Kayla!
Thank you for sharing your journey Kevin. You look great but most importantly your health. I'm intrigued by this "weight loss" healthy plan.
Thank you!
Hi Kevin. Very interesting video. Congrats on completing the challenge. You look great. And I bet you feel even better. It's amazing how our emotions effect our decisions without us realizing it. Or maybe we do realize it but we still suppress them. Our wounds don't go away. They get buried until we are healthy to deal with it. Oue bodies know. The pain-body. Eckhart Tolle explains this and what it is. It's very interesting. Take care. Congrats, too, on Epic's next chapter. Will be a great 2024 for you. All the best. ✌🎉💕
Well said Barbara. Reading some of Eckhart's work changed my life.
Well, seeing how your latest ‘change’ video on Epic Gardening was comment bombed 😅 I will comment here.
Good for you all around! Especially pulling yourself away from gaming!! I seen a guy turn into a zombie-totally disconnected socially and honestly don’t know how he was functioning-thankfully my niece didn’t get involved further.
I was guessing you were getting close to 40 and sorry to hear about the early loss of your dad. Rightfully so you have concerns about your health.
I’ve lost both of my parents now and a sister last year. I now know what my MIL was thinking when people they knew were passing away-she would say, “Getting scary”. Time goes fast so I retired early. Glad you made it!
Thank you for the kind words! Wise words.
Thanks for talking about your feelings and emotions. It's not easy to discuss that, but I think a lot of people have the same challenges when dieting
I missed your videos on that channel. Please keep it active!
Lemme know what type of content you wanna see!
more about the mindset on how to think big and create big companies :) @@kevinmespiritu
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing this kevin. And congratulations on you achievements. There are a couple of points that I am taking away from this but the biggest for me was exercise consistently over intensively. Can easily go out for a walk but not always up to the balls to the wall powerwalk. So that was very useful for me. It’s funny, I thought when I could become a full-time gardener, I am medically retired, that I would be the healthiest I have ever been because I would be growing my own food and lots of vegetables. I thought the work from growing that food would sustain A healthy physique. Not so much lol. A lot of the times it is difficult because I am tired or don’t have the stamina to do the gardening work and harvesting and preserving, I can a lot of food. I was watching another channel, a market gardener, and he said he exercises every day so that he can do the work of gardening and that really hit me too. So I’ve been trying to make changes and work on that. Good luck on your continual success.
Best of luck with this journey, Mary!
cool challenge nice job, might try! Yeah been watching you guys for a while, your skin def looks clearer and glowy comparatively. Was a change I noticed as well when I cut grains and switched to whole foods, POISON!
Cutting those down helped a ton!
I love your explanation of good multitasking. It makes me think of stacking functions in permaculture.
There are so many parallels!
Hey Kevin, really appreciate the focus on content this year on this channel. It’s a refreshing perspective to see a more personal/ wholistic POV of the “Kevin from EG” we’ve come to know.
I’m curious what some of your other hobbies or influences are outside the garden. You mentioned Sam Sulek in a previous video so I’d assume you’re interested in fitness, but wondering if/how any of these other interests, influence your approach to gardening.
Thank you!
Would love to do a vid on that!
Love the honesty on the cravings and their true root causes. I’m facing the same issue, really ready for a change. What are some examples of foods you ate?
Burritos, ice cream, pizza...
I am not trying to be weird, but wow!!! Kevin, you are SO good looking now!!!
Thank you!
Share freely ❤❤😊
Who’s this healthy creator? I thought I came for the business tips and the lols
Thank you for sharing this challenge and your experience with us. Your energy has been such a blessing over these past several years. Keep the balance and all will continue to prosper. 🪴
Thank you so much!
