hi guys

I have short hair again

I took out my extensions a few weeks ago

for the past two weeks I thought I would try to get fit

and get back into shape during quarantine

so I tried Chloe Ting's two weeks shred program

except I put my own twist to it because I wanted to really focus on

getting a flatter stomach and strengthening my core

so I ended up doing a lot of her ab workouts

ok let's get started

this is the before a shot of my upper
body

I had been eating quite a lot during quarantine

and was barely active prior to starting this workout

so I was pretty bloated as you can see

I was at a stage where I felt like I really needed to start working out again

because of how heavy my body felt

the first four days of the workout were
definitely the most difficult

it was almost impossible for me to get through a single workout

without pausing the video and taking breaks in between

I'm also pretty sure I have asked a lot of the exercises

and my posture was not the best

my body was very sore up until day 5

so it was honestly a bit daunting
at first

and I didn't know if I could get through the challenge

but I managed to push through

it was just overall very tough

so if you're struggling in the beginning like I was

let me just tell you it gets better

I cut back on a lot of unnecessary
calorie intake during these two weeks so

instead of eating a big breakfast or
working out on an empty stomach

i thought it would be a good idea to drink
a simple smoothie for breakfast

I like blending a scoop of this powder with
sweet potatoes

and a cup of milk for a creamy smoothie

another way I've been drinking this is
by making it a whipped latte

it's similar to dalgona cofee aka
whipped coffee

except you need heavy whipping cream instead of water

add a bit of sugar and some heavy whipping cream to a scoop of the greens

whip it until it's a thick consistency

and then mix it with a glass of milk

I'll go into more details about what my meals look like later on in the video

but first let's get back to the workouts

starting day 5, I could feel like
we're getting stronger

and my body was starting to get used to the intensity of the workouts

my muscles were no longer sore

and this is when I started to
genuinely enjoy the exercises

I actually looked forward to exercising every morning

which is very unusual for me

i no longer needed to pause the videos and take long breaks

and I could physically feel my body gaining strength

which is always an encouraging sign to continue through

one of the two main problems I
encountered was that

I got blisters on my feet because I didn't wear any shoes

so I highly recommend you get a pair of workout shoes to protect your feet

the second problem that I encountered
was that

I started experiencing sharp pain in my right hip

whenever I tried to
raise my foot

so I put on a tiger balm patch on the affected area

and decided to take the next day off

I was worried that this would stop me from finishing the challenge

but after I took a day off

the pain was nearly gone

and I was ready
to get back on my feet the following day

[my workout partner (my sister)]

for my meals I had a meal around three
to four pm and skipped dinner

I would usually have a salad with other side
dishes that my mom cooked for me

this may not seem like enough food but it's
actually a pretty big meal

and it was enough to keep me going throughout the
rest of the day

I finished my workout for today

but I realized and I wasn't recording

I guess I'll just do one more workout
just to record it

my yoga mat has literally become powder

omg

towards the end of the challenge I was
really happy with how strong my core had become

although I still can't do a
single pushup to save my life

I'm definitely getting better at each of the
exercises

I was also able to physically see my abs grow more defined each day

which was very rewarding after these intense workouts

[after]

[before, after]

that's basically it

today is day 14 and
I just finished my workout

I feel like I'm a lot more productive when I start my days off with a workout

so I'm definitely going to try to at least do

one of her workout videos every morning

I didn't want to focus on any numbers

so I didn't weigh myself or measure anything

I just wanted to focus on how I
looked and how I felt

by the looks of it my stomach got significantly flatter and more toned

and I feel a lot stronger and a lot more energized

than I did two weeks ago before I started this challenge

overall I'm really happy with
the results

I think it's easy enough for people to follow along

but you need a lot of strength and endurance to kind of push through the whole workout

so yeah I definitely recommend it

if you guys found this video helpful

please give this video a thumbs up

so yeah that's it for today's video

thank you guys for watching

and I will see you in my next video. bye!
