Well what a journey it has been the last 8 weeks.
For myself being out of action in the exercise and healthy living arena for a few years i knew that this 8 week challenge was going to be tough physically and mentally on not only myself but my young family.
I was once a very outgoing,active and fit person at a good healthy weight of between 85-90 KGs to being at one point in 2013 weighing at 147 KGs. There were some factors that contributed to the weight gain. I had too many injuries from being involved in sports like rugby and boxing so I let my fear of being hurt again get the better of me and I turned to laziness and unhealthy eating as my new comfort zone.
Even with the physical nature of my work and managing to drop weight from 147 to 120 KGs, I was still very unhealthy in my way of living. I was still eating very unhealthy foods, drinking alcohol heavily which contributed to lack of energy. drive and motivation about life and all I woke up for was go to work and go home to family and go to sleep.
When my son was born things got really tough because my sons mother has a very serious illness in Hypo thyroid and also Anemia where her body does not get the normal iron requirements and her energy levels are unbalanced which affects her health so she cannot currently work and cannot fully cater to our son so I had to step up somehow but I had no idea how, but all I knew my health needed a massive turnaround if I was to be of great help for my Family and especially my partner in all areas of fatherhood.
A miracle had to happen and it did. I was introduced to YOR Health and the products through my cousin Rob Va'ai and his testimonial on the challenge and the products was overwhelming that I had to give it a go after seeing his amazing results.So decision was made and I embarked on my 8 week challenge not knowing how it was going to change the life in such a positive way.
The first 2-3 weeks was tough coming from a terrible lifestyle to a turnaround in good nutrition that was completely shocking to the body, but feeling massive changes that the products made in just 2-3 week I was then excited for the last 5 weeks of my challenge.
With my number one priority being my son and my partner i knew trainings would be tough to manage, but I found ways to exercise at my work using the equipment I use for work. I also managed to get the help of my brother Soaga Huch with my cardio and weights sessions at 5.30 AM 3-4 times a week before starting work at 7am. Going for walks with my son pushing his pram was also a good way to exercise after work.
My exercise routine along with the use of each product helped with all my daily requirements. The YOR Berry Blast which is my favourite was great for my energy boost before exercise, during work and after work. The YOR MRPs both Vanilla and Chocolate flavours for meal replacements in between my breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The ever so yum YOR Super Greens which gave the muscles energy along with some YOR Fibre plus for its daily fibre requirements. The YOR Digest Ultra and also YOR Essential Vitamins helped to aid my very bad digestive system along with YOR probiotics and the YOR Repairs to help manage rest and pains from my day at work and my exercise work outs.
I have come from 120.2 KGs and in 8 weeks i now weigh in at 110.1 KGs and i have some muscle tone to go with the weight that was lost. Even though my ambitious goal was to lose 23 KGs I feel great and I look forward to sharing my experience with my family and friends and testify on how this journey has helped me find motivation to live longer and live a healthier lifestyle for not only myself but for my son, partner and my whole family.
Thank you to my cousin Rob for introducing me, Thank you to my Brother Soaga Huch for your help along the way in this journey, and to my YOR Health NZ Family. The biggest thanks goes to my son and partner for being my motivation to overcome my weight and live healthier for you both.
Bring on the next 8 weeks. I look forward to continuing on with transforming not only my body but encourage others along the way. Thank you YOR Health you truly deliver with these amazing products.
Salute YOR Familia
