i’m trying to target my back with these but as with all horizontal pull exercises im not sure if i’m feeling the squeeze where it needs to be? it just feels weird. i try to think about squeezing my shoulder blades together and today i found that trying to pull the rope apart as well seems to help.
how’s it looking?
I haven’t finished my physics course yet. Just have 1 more assignment and the final exam to do. I’ve just submitted OCAS applications today and since i’ve already graduated high school the transcript from there is automatically going to be sent to OCAS. What does this mean for TVO? Do I have to do anything to send in my midterm grade? Notify tvo staff? I know they’re superrrr slow with responses right now at TVO. I can’t seem to add my midterm document manually into the ontario colleges website either
Hello, I’ve had my conch piercing for over 5 years probably. I’m wondering which type of jewelry you guys find most comfortable for the conch? I’ve been wearing ball back studs for the majority of the time i’ve had this piercing. It was fine in the beginning, but lately it’s been quite uncomfortable while I sleep. I am a side sleeper but like I said it hasn’t bothered me until recently. So I’ve been taking the earring out to sleep but usually forget to put it back in anyway so I’ve been living conchless nowadays. I’d like to find something comfortable to sleep in so I can keep my conch in all the time.
just wondering if anyone has taken the course while being in china before? by the time i will be ready to take the final ill be in china for family matters. obviously china has some firewalls/website bans. there's no issue with me using a vpn to do the actual course work and lessons if needed, im just not sure if using the vpn on microsoft teams during the exam will cause issues.
how do they look? i setup at the cable machines because i dont like the lat pulldown machines this gym has (non cable). since this isnt an actual pulldown machine im almost maxing the weights out and just want to make sure my form is proper or if im getting ahead of myself
hi guys. i got a nostril piercing about 2-3months ago and have a 2.5mm cz(probably?) stud in it. i realized that unless you’re looking at it from the head on, the jewelry doesn’t have that glimmering shine and just looks dull and dark.
would getting a rounded jewel help it appear shinier from the side? for max shine perhaps like a rounded white diamond? 😂
In the past month my bowels have been the most up and down it’s ever been since my diagnosis. I’ll have a random few days to a week of diarrhea, constipation for what feels like forever, then the most normal stools I’ve had since pre diagnosis.
Yesterday, I think I became constipated again. All this gas, stomach grumbles, pain like I’m gonna have explosive diarrhea, then I sit on the toilet and nothing. I just downed two strong coffees in an attempt to get things moving and am currently on the toilet when I finally figured out how to describe this feeling:
It’s like my rectum is numb and frozen, while my stomach is undergoing seismic activity.
I’ve been sitting here going through that post coffee stomach pain and it feels like nothing is coming out, or at least really skinny ribbons of whatever I can push out is coming. Then, I looked down. I looked into the toilet and there’s a mountain of soft serve beneath me. WHEN DID THAT COME OUT?! I feel constipated because I can’t feel my rectal area contract and push anything out, but my stomach still is?
Does anyone understand what I’m trying to explain? It fully feels like there’s no activity in my butthole and rectum even when I can feel poopoo pains in my tummy. Why does this happen?
So I’ve been weightlifting regularly now and am definitely seeing my muscles grow. However I am not lean enough yet to the point where you can tell my arms are cut. If I get fat dissolving injections in my arms let’s say, will it just make my arms leaner? as if my body fat was dropping in that area? Will it affect my muscles at all?
Hi, I just received the conditional approval for my nexus after applying in March. The issue right now is that I’m in Asia for many more months just travelling and won’t be back in Canada to do the interview for a little bit. Will this conditional approval like expire or anything if I don’t schedule the interview yet?
I’ve been lifting weights more consistently the past few months, but i’m always dreading leg day. I try to drink more water, and eat meals higher in carbs 3hrs before working out but I always end up feeling super weak, light headed, dehydrated, and nauseous during leg day. I think the dehydration and increased heart rate is causing my eustachian tubes to dry up and open (I can hear myself breathing, like when you’re mid yawn), and then I also can feel myself getting nauseous and need more rest in between sets.
Other than hydrating more, how can I fix this? Does anyone else get this problem? I read somewhere it could be from low iron- my iron is on the lower side, I’m not currently taking anything for it.
hi everyone. for a little context i was diagnosed with mild-moderate UC 2.5 years ago. i have just been on 4.8g oral mezavant as well as pentasa suppositories.
i am currently in china as i went back to visit family and will be here for at least a year. one week into being here i had really soft stool (borderline diarrhea), which i think was caused by the corn i didn’t know my takeout would have. i typically try to avoid corn in general but it was all mixed into the food. i tried to remove and spit out what i could but definitely ingested some still. after those two days, i suddenly couldn’t poop anymore. i still used my suppositories before bed and tried my best to poop but all that came out in the mornings was the remnants of the suppository (normal for me). even after eating big meals i still couldn’t poop by the end of the night, all that passed was some mucus chunks (edit: i also had no urge to poop. the only sign i was backed up was my stomach getting more bloated). last night (after three days of no BM), my dad gave me this laxative chocolate which he had from a TCM place. by this morning my bowels were definitely moving. passed a large solid poop before it was all diarrhea again.
idk why i got constipated. i’ve never been constipated before even during worse flares. i’ve been eating lots of chinese greens and yogurt but i do try to stay away from too much insoluble fibre as it typically causes stomach pain and unpleasant BMs. i will say though, the place we are currently staying at doesn’t have a kitchen so it’s been a lot of eating out and delivery. i don’t order unhealthy foods, just typically chinese food i normally eat back at home in canada anyway. my bowels are cleared for today thanks to the special poopoo chocolate but im not sure if i’ll get backed up again or if ive been reset and good to go.
any advice or speculation is welcomed 🙏
i went to a clinic in seoul with my mind set of potenza (along with some other treatments) thinking it’d help with my freckles and acne hyperpigmentation. the consultant recommended pico eraser instead for faster results from one session. the only aftercare i was told was to avoid heavy makeup and strong/active skincare, as well as go heavy on sun protection.
i also looked at some pico laser treatments in china and it seems the general advice they provide is to avoid water, meaning don’t wash your face during the scabbing phase to avoid darkening of spots.
anyone else get this procedure? any advice for aftercare? i don’t think id be able to handle not washing my face as i have quite oily skin and would for sure breakout and as a result get more hyperpigmentation. i’m also concerned about the stage of healing it at right now. when should the scabbing start? it just seems like my spots got all dark and is flat in my skin like freckles
i’m not a fan of how wide my cheekbones stick out. the last time i was in korea, the lady at the skin clinic said i had a peanut face shape and that i could add filler in the shadows under my cheekbones to connect cheekbones to jaw.
i also notice my face is very asymmetrical. my right eyebrow is flatter than the left and i know you can’t see bc of the stickers but my right eyelid is also more hooded almost as if that entire side droops down lower than the left.
when i smile, my chin and lips look crooked. almost like the centre of my teeth and lips aren’t aligned and then my chin totally points to one side. i’ve been considering chin filler to even it out but im worried it’ll be done poorly and make it even more obvious.
the last photo is mirrored i think and you can clearly see the asymmetry. i also am going to get masseter botox soon as i dont like how huge my jaw gets (tmj). i’ve gotten it before and even though my face looks kinda alien shaped after, i like how much smaller my face looks.
please let me know if you have any suggestions on how i can reduce the appearance of lateral cheekbones and make my face appear more symmetrical.
