            <title>Care for stitches</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2562965</link>
            <description>Hello, just had a surgery this morning. Minor one and I have stitches at both earlobes (keloid excision).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I woke up, I had no mood to ask question cause throat was sore and woozy from the GA. Then terus balik without asking any questions -______-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m supposed to keep the stitches dry right? But the problem is, there&amp;#39;s some bleeding (doc warned before surgery that it might occur). I&amp;#39;m not worried about the bleeding, but am I supposed to clean it? Can I slowly clean it with a damp cloth? Scared kena infection (which he warned is a possibility as well). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, got some ointment from the pharmacy to be applied three times a day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;!--emo&amp;:help:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/icon_question.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='icon_question.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;</description>

            <description>As per title, what do you guys think of the future of social media? Is this line worth staying on? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Involves copywriting, a bit of marcomm and customer service. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m a fresh grad btw.</description>

            <title>Workout+Food Journal</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2302776</link>
            <description>Sorry. Had to create a new thread, hated the last thread so campur-aduk. New thread makes me more semangat to post. New picture too &lt;!--emo&amp;:)--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; The after picture is not so current but pretty much how I look like now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('87512d4f76bb5841a1d8f45f2c2e4cc3')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;87512d4f76bb5841a1d8f45f2c2e4cc3&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;&lt;img src='http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7269/6921239282_9123244658.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;(Left) 82 kg, (Right) 68 kg. &lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;GOALS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I&amp;#39;m not super stressed about weight, more focused on shape. But ideally I would like to be in the 50s. Currently hovering at 65-67kg. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Wanna be more consistent with diet. Once I indulge, it tends to go on for days rather than that cheat one meal every now and then. Hence, this journal is for accountability. Aiming for 80/20 proportion of healthy/unhealthy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Improve on weight training. Lift heavier. Work on technique etc. Still too scared to do barbell squats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) I think I&amp;#39;m an hourglass shape. Lost noticeable fat around the waist first. Flabby arms and huge thighs though &lt;!--emo&amp;:(--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; I want toned arms and cellulite-free thighs. This goal is more important than weight - nobody is gonna see the number on the scale except for me anyway. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EXERCISE:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New rules of lifting for women (NROL4W). Three day split - full body workout. &lt;br /&gt;Almost finishing phase 1 (7 phases altogether)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cardio or yoga on other days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One mandatory rest day per week. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;FOOD/SUPPS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Multivits+Fish Oil Daily&lt;br /&gt;Protein Shake+BCAA Postworkout&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try to eat 5-6 balanced meals a day. I know, I read that it doesn&amp;#39;t really help with metabolism but it does help prevent me from overeating. More veg+protein too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, that&amp;#39;s it for intro. First entry for journal later tonight&amp;#33;</description>

I was working all night doing design, a lot of times felt hungry around 4-5 a.m. ordered McD, ate then slept around 6-7 a.m.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gained almost 30 kgs. Heaviest at 82kgs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I&amp;#39;m 22 and still fat&amp;#33; Started exercising since late last year (changed course of studies too *happier*) but have only been able to maintain weight at 76kgs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae106/zorayaztar/beforeafter.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Exercise&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My exercise schedule has changed a lot during these past few months, but the latest one is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;M&lt;/b&gt; - Pilates/Yoga&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tu&lt;/b&gt; - Belly Dance &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;W&lt;/b&gt; - Pilates/Yoga&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Th&lt;/b&gt; - Tahiti Dance&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;F&lt;/b&gt; - Pilates/Yoga&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sa&lt;/b&gt; - REST&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Su&lt;/b&gt; - Aerobics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The exercises (Yoga/Pilates/Dance) are about 30 mins each. The Yoga/Pilates are a bit tougher, so I sort of alternate hard and easy(Dance). Aerobics take about one hour and includes lightweight lifting as well. Occasionaly, I go for jogging on top of all this as well. &lt;br /&gt;Pilates was a new addition and I can feel improvement in my body though the weighing scale and measuring tape says otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of this exercises are from YouTube. I pretty much enjoy them (though they&amp;#39;re still challenging) and once I start, it&amp;#39;s hard to stop. HOWEVER, once I&amp;#39;ve stopped it&amp;#39;s so hard to start back again. So hopefully after writing this I will start back again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Food&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t drink carbonated water at all. Only the occasional flavoured drink every now and then (once or twice a week maybe)&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t really fancy desserts (only occasional) and I don&amp;#39;t eat donuts at all (after I read in the newspaper that one donut is 32 tsp of sugar&amp;#33;&amp;#33; UGH&amp;#33;&amp;#33;)&lt;br /&gt;I eat junk food and fast food umm, sometimes often, sometimes not. Lately I&amp;#39;ve noticed that I can&amp;#39;t eat KFC anymore. The amount of oil makes me nauseous. &lt;br /&gt;I eat a lot of unhealthy condiments I guess, mayo and chilli sauce. A LOT&amp;#33; And when I get bored I eat... and tendency to eat late at night before sleeping. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting to include more fruits and vegetables into my diet...  &lt;!--emo&amp;:blush:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/blush.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blush.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; but I still eat them with mayo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trying the six meals a day... though fasting month is coming soon. What do I do then????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Goal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently my ideal weight is 46kgs, but I&amp;#39;ll be happy to weight around 50kgs again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stopped exercising for about a week now. Looking to start back again tomorrow, especially after writing this&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m pretty clueless about food. :/ Like calories, and whatever they baffle me.  &lt;!--emo&amp;:stars:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxub.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; I&amp;#39;m all ears for advice&amp;#33;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following Jamie Eason&amp;#39;s Livefit programme from Bodybuilding now. www.bodybuilding.com/livefit &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&amp;#39;re lazy to click and read, the summary is... it&amp;#39;s broken into three phases. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phase 1 is muscle building without any cardio coupled with clean-eating plan;&lt;br /&gt;Phase 2 introduces cardio and limits starchy carb intake to earlier of the day; &lt;br /&gt;Phase 3 is HIIT and carb-cycling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each Phase is four weeks and in total the whole program is 12-weeks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gonna be cooking my own food, bringing packed meals to college, and also be doing free-weights in the gym  &lt;!--emo&amp;:sweat:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sweat.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sweat.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;  Wish me luck&amp;#33; I&amp;#39;m aiming to go during non-peak hours so I won&amp;#39;t feel shy with all the dudes in the gym. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food: Six meals spaced every three hours. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Supplements I&amp;#39;ll be taking: Daily multivits, EFA, BCAA pre-workout, Calcium pill post-workout, Whey Protein (if mealtime don&amp;#39;t happen within 30 minutes post-workout)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WISH ME LUCK&amp;#33; And let me know if anybody else is doing this too? So we can support each other. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
