GAIN WEIGHT 101: WHAT YOU SHOULD DO!

So y'all have realized I promise and fail a lot on this blog when it comes to putting up posts right? Aha! I have to either stop promising and just do the best I can or promise and fulfill. Anyhoos

Tired of extreme skinny?? You want to gain weight and you don't know how to go about it? Or what you're doing isn't working?? Well try this. IT WORKS!!!!

LIVE UPDATE:  I started from 100lbs. I got to 120lbs a little over a week ago. Can't remember. I'm back to 118lbs sha because I've been slacking. But I'm getting back to my eating schedule this week.

This summarizes what you should be doing.

1. Visit this website this website Find out how much calories you need to eat everyday to get to your goal weight slowly.

2. Get a bathroom scale.

3. Get a book. This book is where you would keep track of your calories from day 1 of your weight gain journey. Writing down the food consumed for each day, the calories it contains and total calories consumed for each day. Or better still get an app if you use smart phones. There are apps like "MyNetDiary" this is my best app for weight gain journey but there are many other apps.

4. Stay away from pop drinks and all other unhealthy drinks. They contain very unhealthy calories. Go for soy bean milk, pure juice(oasis, tropicana, etc.) At least the companies claim they're pure

5. Make a weekly menu for yourself, you don't have to follow it, but it should give you an idea of what you should eat. 

6. Avocado pears, bananas and apples are your best friends. Always find ways to add them to your meals. I'd take like an avocado and banana in between meals and a cup of soy bean milk. Oh and of course carbohydrates are your paddies. So basically I'd eat like 5 times a day. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack and dinner. But I don't eat 5 times a day anymore, I eat like 3 big meals a day. So do whatever suits you. I definitely prefer 5 times a day because I got to eat more.

7. You must eat regularly, very very regularly. If classes/work are tight. Pack lunch. Don't miss any meal.

8. Breakfast is very important. If you eat breakfast as early as 8am perfect. Because you'd be able to consume more during the day than if you have breakfast at like 11am. That's too late.

9. MOST IMPORTANT!!! Find a nutritional drink that is high in calories. Now introducing you to "Boost Plus" This is a nutritional drink that is perfect for gaining weight. It can also be used to lose weight. It contains like 360calories a bottle. So what I'd do is I'd eat up to 2100 calories in a day and right before I go to bed at night. I'd drink like 3 bottles of "boost plus". It's a very healthy drink. You can read more about it online. There are other nutritional drinks like "Ensure Plus" and the rest.

If you have any question, send me an email, coyintrovert@yahoo.ca. I'd really love be to answer questions.

AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT

I saw this tag on youtube and decided to do one too. Ughhh! there are many things I don't have time for......I tried making a short list.

1. Microwave: I really don't have time for that 3 long ass microwave minutes. I wish we could just push a "hot" or "smoking hot" button and get it over with. Sometimes I'm so hungry and I don't want to wait that long. Aint nobody got time for that!

2. Marking Period: The period between writing an exam and receiving the result. Ugh! I really hate waiting to see my result. I wish all exams were done on scantron, so our results wouldn't take so long. I don't have time to be sitting home all nervous waiting for scores to be posted, like can we just do computer based exams, submit right there and receive a score right there. I so can't stand all the rapid heartbeats that come during marking period. You see a prof that knows you, you look at him very well, eye ball to eye ball, to see if his facial expression can tell you your grade. *Sigh*

3. Journeys: Ugh!!! I don't like the wait, can we just skip to the final result. Acne free journey, weight gain journey, abs journey, weight loss journey. Tha hell??? No!!! I don't want the journey. I just want to be in my destination. Am I asking for too much? Aint nobody got time for that..

4. TV Shows: Waiting to know who the "bad guy" is. We have to wait till the end to know who has been behind all the catastrophe, they keep you speculating, they make you think it's her then no it's him, then it's him and her. Aint nobody got time for that!!!! Tell me wdh it is so we can all move on. Lol!

5.Waiting for the plantain you're frying to get done so you can eat. Aint nobody got time for that!!!! Just incase you didn't notice I was frying plantain while typing this. :D

6. Studying for an exam? Aint nobody got time for that!!!!!!!!! Psssssst!!!

Feel free to add yours :). What don't you have time for?

Thankful

THE JOURNEY TO 130.......

http://www.tammystwocents.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/scared-of-weighing-scale1.jpg

........begins with 1lb. Yep, I want to try to get to 130lb. This would cost me money, time, energy and all sorts but I think I'm physically, "chemically" and emotionally ready lol.

It's hard to find someone trying to gain weight right? I remember when I was looking for info on line like last year for this same purpose. For where? I hardly found anything. Like everyone was trying to lose weight or gain abs na so I tire. So I think I'm ready to share my journey with you guys. My lack of information last year influenced this. Other people trying to gain weight might stumble here and learn one or two things. And I think sharing it on my blog would give me the drive to achieve results.

And no, not all skinny girls want to gain weight but I want to so yeah that's me. Each man to his own. I'd call this weight gain journey "skinny love" just because......I can? lol and because I love the song!!!!!!!! Don't care if it has anything to do with skinny sef.

Why do I want to gain weight?
I just don't like been this skinny and didn't even realize I was so skinny till I came to this yankee. I want my neck bones(sheh na clavicle dem dey call am, I don forget biko) to cover up a little, I want my bumbum to come out small too shooo. You see I'm naturally miniature petite, I can't afford to be skinny too ah ah since I can't be tall, let me kuku gain small weight biko. And did you notice, our weight is like our only physical attribute we can actually change/control.

How long would this take?
I have no idea. But hopefully not too long.

I would be sharing body pictures too, so you all can see my progress and I'd also have a reason to take close to naked pictures *coughs* *adjusts halo*

I would be doing a weekly update of my progress so let's see how it goes. Wish me goodluck guys.

In a couple of days, I'd blog about all you need to start this journey and what kind of food you can eat.

Thank you for reading!!!!
I'm still writing exams. Written 4 already, 2 more to go.
God bless you all.

GROWING LONG NAILS

My nails, last year, December.

Please don't laugh at my small hand biko. Sankio! And yes the nails are all mine!!

My nails grow really long and beautiful if I take proper care of them. I haven't been wearing my nails long, for sometime. My friend dared me, so it'd be short till summer. Lol! I might change my mind though.

I know many people especially women would like to grow nice nails, so I've decided to gather some tips, from experience, online and others. Read and be blessed.

1. BITING NAILS: Don't bite your nails, I repeat don't bite your nails, ever again. I used to bite my nails when I was younger and then I made a conscious effort to stop. I stopped in Primary 4. Biting your nails makes your nails grow ugly, I don't know why, but it does. I've seen lots of nail biters who try to grow their nails but it doesn't look too good.

2. HANDS IN WATER: Having my hands in water for too long spoils my nails. If you have to do so much dishes use those kitchen gloves. I don't always abide by this rule but I try sometimes.

Kitchen gloves - They come in different sizes

3. CUTTING YOUR NAILS: Cutting your nails with a nail cutter causes cracks on your nails and would make them break. I never cut my nails with a nail cutter. If you must cut your nails with a nail cutter, soak them in water for a bit so it'd be soft. But nail files are the best.

This works for me!

4. ARTIFICIAL NAILS: I don't know about any other person but artificial nails destroy my natural nails. Maybe it's the glue, maybe the gel, maybe anything. I have tried fixing artificial nails, 3 times and those 3 times it took so long for my natural nails to recover. They would break before you say "Mercy Johnson", looking so rough and ugly. You know different strokes for different folks. If this happens to you after using artificial nails then you should probably stay away from them not try to hide it by fixing another set.

Emmmm how does she wipe her ass.... Just wondering!

5. LIMIT: I believe everybodys nails has a limit in length, know your limit, don't try to grow "Eucharia" looking nails, if it's too much for your nails, they'd break to level 0. So know your length limit. I see people gluing their broken nails(natural nails) together. I find it funny! Their nails are always super duper long. Is there any need for that length? Really?

I don't think she wipes her ass

6. MOISTURIZING: After every hand wash, moisturize your hand and also concentrate on your nails too. I don't think there's anything special about a "hand cream" except it been portable most times. Any moisturizer would do, really.

7. NAIL STRENGTHENERS: Use nail strengtheners, if you think you need one. I haven't used any before. But if I do I'd recommend a good one.

8. VITAMINS: I have never used this either. Some come in form of oil from what I've seen. You drop the oil on your nails after washing. While others come in form of tablets. If you think your condition is very bad. Then you can try this. Or better still just try it for trying sake.  

I'm not endorsing this in particular. Just showing what it looks like.

9. FOOD: I noticed when I don't eat properly, my nails don't grow properly. So I guess food plays a major role too. Iron(Unripe plantain), Zinc(Egg), Calcium(Milk, Yogurt), Protein, Vitamin A&C(Bell peppers, watermelon, mangoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, etc.)

Do you have any other tip for growing long, healthy nails. Add them below :)

Thanks for reading.

STATEMENTS THAT GRIND MY GEARS

1. IT'S JUST TWITTER: Ummmmmm this is a lie from the pit of hell. Everything you're involved in becomes a part of your life no matter how small, so don't tell me it's just twitter. It's not just twitter my friend.

2. I AM SELFMADE: Shut up, shut up, shut up. This is the most selfish statement I've ever heard. Selfmade wtf does that even mean? I'm sorry but nobody can ever make me understand the word, selfmade. What about people who supported you morally, okay emotionally. Hold up, even the person who refused to give you support let's say financially that made you decide you must "make it" is part of your success.

3. WHO ARE YOU?: Sometimes this is harmless but most times it's not, at least to the best of my knowledge. The questioners intention is to make you feel little. I don't like this question at all. Maybe I'm just a typical Nigerian. Don't just look at me and ask me, who are you?, at least make it sound respectful, don't just, who are you me please.

4. NA YOU SABI: This is one of the rudest replies to come out of the mouth of Nigerians. Under no circumstance does this go down well with me. I prefer you keep mute than tell me, na u sabi. Just imagine you're just talking to someone, you go on and on and on. And the persons reply is, na u sabi, it is worse than, k, I don't like it.

5. EVERYBODY'S DOING IT, I'D SOON LEAVE: This one squeezes my intestines, I mean that kind of situation where let's say photography, why am I even going too far. Let's say blogging. You'd here someone say something like "everyone is now a blogger, me I'd soon stop blogging sef". These kind of statements annoy me ehhhh. Like in your mind you're all that oh, nobody can do something you're involved in, are you Jesus? Even Jesus sent John the baptist sef. Why can't you blog and be different, come up with something creative and stand out and stop talking utter nonsense!!! Everybody now owns an instagram account so you want to close down your own, close it now, so that all the fishes in the sea would die and there would be famine in the land. Mschewwww!!

6. ..................ADD YOURS........


I don't like the new blogger. What is this please. All technical and what not, codes here and there. I have to study the thing before making any move. Hian!!

Fourth year is fu**ing stressful y'all. The only thing I really do is tweet. No time to sit down and make a post. I tweet everywhere, walking, eating, in the toilet, bathroom, every little opportunity I have. I use it to tweet but it doesn't work like that for blogging. Even summer I had some serious classes, after my classes, mumsie came over and kobalized my laptop watching Nigerian movies, I enjoyed it though, lol.

Anyways take care you guys.(Meanwhile my Mum told me to stop referring to her and my Dad as "guys" lmao!!) I'm almost used to saying "guys"

Manage any Gbagaun you see ehhh. Sorry!

Finally going to bed.
