I’ve missed my cut off to submit my after photos of my body challenge.

Yes. I’m beyond disappointed and frustrated that this has happened! All because of my carelessness.... :(

Here are the after photos...which I’m very disappointed to say that there are no difference at all...physically. It’s definitely a disappointment.

Throughout the 8 weeks of my body challenge...the only thing I could really commit to was taking my Yor health products. So every morning I’d have 1 sachet of my Super Greens along with 2 scoops of Yor Fibre Ultra, and then another 2 scoops of fibre with a glass of water and 1 tablet of Yor Probiotics in the evening usually 2 hours before bed. I would also make an effort to drink at least 2 litres of water a day to ensure that I’m keeping my body hydrated. After about 3 weeks of constantly taking these products I felt “regular”! I don’t know how many other people out there suffer with the same difficulty when it comes to bowel movements (Yup! Let’s get right into it!), but I was going more regularly and at around the same times everyday!

I do feel a little bit more energetic, but I have to admit...with the chaotic situations at work...I felt like I was drained when I finished work. I was sick for about 2 weeks, then with other members in my team at work also off sick...I was faced with 4 people’s workload everyday. I had endless deadlines to meet every hour and I couldn’t really get a break because I was just bombarded with more work and more deadlines! by the end of the day I felt drained. I was extremely exhausted by the time I got home, and all I did was binge eat at night at home because I don’t get time to eat during the day. Even if I made a mental note for “MUST GO EXERCISE TOMORROW”, I didn’t carry out that commitment. I just let work drown me, and go home and just lie down on the couch and eat my sorrows and frustrations away with any food that I can find. I would arrive home sometimes, and breakdown in tears when I see my partner, and tell him how hard and difficult my day was. He’s just hug me while I cried and cried till I stopped. Most of the time I end up eating to my heart’s content and pass out sleeping on the couch. **I’m not even exaggerating!**

The above was pretty much the struggle for the past 8 weeks. I felt mentally drained, even during my days off I’d just stay in bed and just not do anything because work alone had taken all of my energy. I was blaming it on work. My partner suggested that maybe it’s time that I tried to look for a new job that was less stressful, but I knew that my job wasn’t the issue. The issue was I had let myself down again!

Lately I’ve started this fitness movement started by my friend Allen, where I commit to doing 100 reps of any combination of exercise for 28 days to stay active and fit. I’m only up to day 5 at the moment, so I can’t really feel the difference in my body yet. However, I do feel a little happier because I do end each day thinking that “I’ve achieved something today!”, and I knew I’d be ready to face the challenges that will come tomorrow.
