2020 is a quite challenging year for me, for us, for everybody. Where our world been attacked by a virus so-called Corona/ Covid-19. (Read more about MCO HERE). MCO or movement control order is not easy for most people. The salary has been cut, the business cannot get any income, etc. However, that is the best option for us and the country to stay safe. I know it is not healthy for our mental but somehow I believe this is the right moment to change our day to become a productive day. Actually a lot of things you can do when you have time at home. 

Even though we cannot continue with our usual day wakeup and 6.30 prepare breakfast. Facing jammed. Go to work. Lunch. Back home. Get the payslip monthly. But trust me. MCO is not that hard. 

Do not focus on what you actually lost and sit all day in your room. All you did was tortured your mental. Instead, get a move. Be active. Try new things. Focus on what you actually already have. Spend time with your fams. Etc. I shared 20 activities that you can do during MCO.

1. Workout
2. Makeover your room
3. Online shopping
4. Read the blog according to your interest
5. Try to pair and match your outfit
6. Create a new recipe
7. Video call with your BFF
8. Recite Quran and understand the meaning
9. Understand all the meaning of your bacaan in solat
10. Explore new thing (eg: how the snake poop)
11. Try yoga for a better breathing technique
12. Study your work (eg: how to be a better sales promoter)
13. Invest in your interest (eg: new skincare?)
14. Play games or a new game
15. Spend time with your family (TALK more with your family)
16. Watch Netflix/ iflix/ youtube
17. Make some DIY project (eg: drawer partition using cardboard)
18. Try new apps on your phone

I love the way it emulsifies and melts on my skin. It removes my make up easily including the waterproof mascara. Even though I have oily skin, this product doesn't leave any greasy feeling after I emulsifying with water. It turns to milky texture and easily gets off from the skin. However, I still suggest using this as a double cleanser to make sure u remove the makeup thoroughly. As makeup can clog your pores and cause a breakout.

I'm having trouble increasing my weight as my BMI is only 16 and my weight did not even reach 40kg. I eat a lot at one time, but I am too busy to eat until 5 meals a day. So, I change my diet. I eat high-calorie food to make sure my body weight increases even I don't even take 5 meals a day. That is how I can maintain my target for my goal.

As we all know eggs are so nutritious. It is packed with protein. Even eggs were suggested for the bodybuilder to increase or maintain their muscle mass.

In this recipe, I combine all the high-calorie ingredients to make a delicious and healthy omelet for weight gain. Because our goal is gaining weight and muscle not gaining fat. This is my favorite breakfast ever.

INSTRUCTION:

• Whisk together the eggs, black pepper, salt, sugar until well combined.
• Mix together everything.
• On non-stick pan and low-medium heat fry the egg.
• Close the lid and let it cook on both side
• Fold it into half
• Let it cook for another around 2 minutes each side to let the cheese melt.
• Place it on a plate and top with a lil bit of your favorite sauce either ketchup, hot sauce, thousand islands anything u prefer.
• DONE! Ready to eat.

Andai aku rindu,

Tabahkan lah.

Tuhan,

Andai aku jatuh,

Kuatkan lah.

Tuhan,

Andai aku gembira,

Ingatkan lah.

Tuhan,

Andai aku pedih,

Ubati lah.

Being an underweight population, and having a target to have an ideal weight and a nice hot body needs to be disciplined. Adding weight can be hard as losing weight. Being a victim of body shaming is not fun! Without further due let's jump into the tips on how to gain weight fast and safely. (EVIDENCE-BASED)

1. Track your calorie intake
   Even if you are eating 5 meals a day if your calorie is not enough all you did was an effort to lose weight. Download calorie tracker apps on your phone to make sure you eat enough calories. In order to gain weight, you need more calorie intake than burned calories.
   
   
2. Watch your diet
   Please bear in mind, you want to gain muscle not fat. So eat healthy food. Choose healthy food. Simple, instead of fry, try grill or air fry. Instead of oily food try boiled food and soup. Eat more protein than fat. You need carbohydrates to gain weight but do not over the limit. An excessive amount of carbs will turn to fat. Remember, we want to gain muscle not fat.
   
   
3. Do some strength training exercise
   Get move! Lift heavy weight. To gain muscle and muscle strength, you need high load low repetition. If u cant go to the gym, use anything around you such as a water bottle, a bag of cement, your younger sister, etc. Just be creative. *Please wear safety gear such as proper sports attire, back - knee - wrist supporter before lifting really heavyweight. Or get yourself a personal trainer- especially if you are a beginner!
   
   
4. Avoid cardio training
   To gain weight you need to avoid cardio exercise. Cardio exercise burns more calories than resistance training. A light warm-up will do- you can jog lightly for 5 min or just enough to make your body sweat and increase your body temperature. Do not do it excessively. Or else you will lose weight.
   
   
5. Consider taking a protein shake
   Protein is very good to build up muscle and helps muscle recovery. However, protein can make you feel dehydrated. Drink more water. U may take protein before- help to sustain muscle strength and after exercise- help muscle recovery. Choose a protein that contains carbs together to gain more weight. Another name of carbs is maltodextrin (u may take a look at the ingredient list). If purchasing a protein shake is too costly for you, try to DIY at home with this RECIPE.
   
   
6. Taking supplement
   A supplement is something u need if u are LACK of something. Eg: lack vitamin A even if you are taking vitamin A from food, then u need a vitamin A supplement. So, do not simply take a supplement. Consult with your doctor first. If you are lack vitamins is the reason why you can't gain weight then, the doctor might prescribe you a multivitamin, b-complex, etc.
   
   
7. Seek a physician
   Seeking a physician before proceeding to any training or routine is a very good option! Involuntary weight loss can be a ton of reasons such as obstructive apnea, cancer, issues with the GI tract, depression, etc.
   
   
8. Drink milk
   Milk is very good for gaining weight. It contains high calcium and high calorie. As you are workout you might consider taking calcium. Calcium can protect yourself from fracture (might happen when doing the wrong posture or lifting too heavy load). Calcium will increase your bone density! Besides, you can increase your calorie intake too! 1 glass of milk contains roughly 11g of carbs and 8g of fat with 149Cal.
   
   
9. Do not drink before a meal
   Drinking a looooootttt of water can help us maintain good health. However, you need to consider taking your drink before your meal. Drinking a lot of water in one shot can make u feel full resulting in eating less portion of your meal. You want high calories, you need to eat more. Avoid water before and during the meal. Take your drink after 10 min of your meal.
   
   
10. Watch your lifestyle
    In order to gain weight, you need to practice a healthy lifestyle. Get a more productive day. Do not sit on your bed all day long. Sleep early, wake up early, prepare your meal, have some workout and reading session, or do yoga practice your breathing. Be sure to sleep early! Lack of sleep also can be one of the reasons why you didn't gain weight. Take care of your mental and physical health. A healthy lifestyle will lead to a healthy BMI.
