YOR BEST BODY

Before I had enter this challenge, I was particularly skinny weighing about 130lb. I ate whatever I wanted and didn't care too much to what my body needed. It was pretty much whenever I get hungry, grab whatever that looked good and quickest, mainly fast food, and just eat. I never really had to worry about my size until last summer after visiting my family in Minnesota when my size hit me. I remember it clearly waking up in the morning and trying on one of my jeans that had been recently washed. I thought it had shrunk, so I didn't give too much thinking to it. When I returned back home in California, I tried on my pants that I didn't bring on my visit, and yes, they didn't fit as well. On that day, I knew I had gain a terrible weight. Just within one month and a half, I went from 130lbs to 150lbs. I was shocked, sadden, angry, and was not confident about myself. But after Annual in Los Angeles, I told myself that it'll change. Seeing all the body changes in everyone and all the winners wanted me to be part of the community. After my return from Annual, I moved to Minnesota and I slowly started to change my bad habits. In November, I told myself that I'll commit to my 8 weeks challenge.

My first 4 weeks, I followed an old gym workout routine that was given to me since I had never set a foot in the gym before. It was Mondays - chest & biceps, Wednesday - back and triceps, and Friday - legs. All the workouts were 45 minutes to 1 hour length with rests in between sets. During those 4 weeks, every morning I would go to the gym with a cup of Supergreens and Berry Blast with an apple or banana. For lunch, everyday that I work, I packed the very basic and amatuer meals such as chicken breast and brown rice with steamed vegetables and with my meals, I would take Yor Digestive Enzymes and Yor Vitamins. I also drunk a lot of water. My coworkers thought I was dehydrated all the time. After that first 4 weeks, I dropped down from 150 - 135. I was staying consistent until Thanksgiving came along and threw me off for a week. I started to get back into it again, but this time hitting larger weight and eating more. I still drunk a lot of water, same breakfast, and lunch but every 2-3 hours, I would eat a protein bar or a cup of greek yogurt. Since it started snowing in late November, I started going to the gym late at night after work. I wasn’t very consistent with it to be honest, but the days that I missed I made it up the next time I went. I literally punished my body for missing those days, and when I did, Yor Repair was my best friend. As I pushed myself sculpting and weighing in 140 at the end of my challenge, I looked in the mirror and I was pretty proud of myself. Throughout this challenge, I’ve learned that it takes a lot of work to get to where you want to be at. That there’s no easy way out, but a cycle of pain, repair, and growth. The beauty is, when the challenge is all over, another goal is hit and a new goal is made to become better. I love what this has taught me, and I can’t wait for the next cycle. Win or not, this is still only the beginning.
