Overview: In this video, the speaker E-man, shares six simple steps to help with weight loss. The steps involve calculating BMI, measuring body parts, tracking meals, monitoring movements, breaking habits into smaller ones, and habit stacking.
Steps for Weight Loss:
1. Calculate Your BMI: - Use Google or online programs to find your BMI (Body Mass Index). - Enter your age, height, weight, and goal weight to know how many calories you should eat each day.
2. Measure Yourself: - Measure your arms, waist, chest, and thighs. - This helps you track progress and know if you're getting smaller or bigger.
3. Track Your Meals: - Keep a food journal or use apps like "My Fitness Pal." - Write down what you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. - It helps you see how many calories you consume each day.
4. Monitor Your Movements: - Get a fitness tracker like "Misfit Flash" to know how many calories you burn daily. - This helps you understand your activity level and adjust your eating habits accordingly.
5. Break Big Habits into Small Habits: - If you have a hard time going to the gym, start by just going there and back without working out. - Gradually add exercises each time you go until it becomes a regular habit.
6. Habit Stacking: - Combine a new habit you want to develop with an existing habit. - For example, do two push-ups every morning after drinking a cup of water.
Remember, losing weight is about making small changes and being consistent over time. Stay patient and motivated as you work towards your weight loss goals!
The history of the world if it never occurred to humans to discriminate over race or religion..
We
would be exactly the same except there would be a country of skinny
people right next to and at war with a country of fat people.
In
America, short cops would be killing unarmed tall people. The jails
would be majority tall people but every jury would be majority short
people. (& police, government)
In
the middle east, people who believe the toilet paper roll should roll
OVER would be constantly fighting with the country right next to them
who roll the toilet paper UNDER because they believe they took their
land.
We human beings could learn a lot from dogs .
They are colorblind and don't see breed. If they sniff you and like you that's that.
Imma start sniffing strangers now.
If I get arrested I'm 6 foot one.. I mean 5 foot 4

Set
in London in 1977, Young Soul Rebels focuses on a pirate radio station
run by the Black, openly gay Caz and his half-white, half-Black,
straight best friend Chris, who illegally bring soul and R&B hits to
the masses.
Set during
the Queen’s Silver Jubilee and inspired by luminary queer director Isaac
Julien’s days as a soul boy himself, the genre-blurring movie is part
murder mystery, part queer romance, and part musical love letter to a
period in British history when Black style was developing its own
unmistakable identity.
In
a sharp, giallo-style opening, Caz’s friend is killed while cruising a
local park, kicking off a plot that introduces probing questions that
disrupt the duo’s lives and persist today: Can you rely on police
accountability when queer people are murdered? How do marginalized
communities acknowledge and protect their own who inhabit multiple
vulnerable identities at once?
Julien
gracefully handles these and other issues, adding further depth through
Caz’s romance with white punk socialist Billibud, which underscores
racist and homophobic tendencies in the era’s punk scene.
A
countercultural gut punch with gorgeous visual style and an
unimpeachable soundtrack spanning the O’Jays and the Blackbyrds to
Sylvester and X-Ray Spex, Young Soul Rebels is as electrifyingly
relevant now as it was in 1991
