Can i keep it like that

Many things can affect your weight, including genetics, age, gender, lifestyle, family habits and culture, sleep, and even where you live and work. Some of these factors can make it hard to lose weight or keep weight off. But being active and choosing healthy foods has health benefits for everyone—no matter your age or weight. As a rule of thumb:. Choose foods that have a lot of nutrients but not a lot of calories. Aim for at least minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week.

Doing something is better than doing nothing at all. Regular exercise can make it easier for you to do daily activities, participate in outings, drive, keep up with grandchildren, avoid falls, and stay independent.

Most older people can be moderately active. Drake has made bloated records before, though to more discernible ends. Views , from , is even longer, but came at a point when Drake was the biggest rapper in the world and searching for a shape that matched his ambitions. But where Scorpion is explicitly divided as a double LP and sports four Top 5 hits, including a pair of Number 1s , CLB is a fat, formless playlist, 86 minutes that could be shuffled and resequenced and would still be nearly indistinguishable.

Maybe none of this matters. Drake has always seemed inevitable. It pushes so many of my happy buttons: honest depictions of teens struggling with personal issues, sex positivity, friendship, finding yourself, glorious descriptions of dessert, the urge to yell "I SHIP IT!! But even knowing I'd enjoy it, it was a freaking delight t Still feeling extremely lucky to have read this book prior to its release.

But even knowing I'd enjoy it, it was a freaking delight to read, with sweet surprises and heartfelt moments from start to finish. So excited for it to be out in the world soon!

Being an OG fan of an author means seeing them reach new readers is as joyful for you as it is for them. Although this is too heavy to be a romcom, the trademar "Sometimes the world is terrible, and love stories Although this is too heavy to be a romcom, the trademark humor and second-hand embarrassment are all present.

Quinn is an anxious wedding harpist with high family expectations, OCD, and my exact personality. Down to the mental illness, the high expectations of her from adults everywhere, and the business-oriented parents. Seeing her open and honest struggle with OCD, her coping methods, her frustration and her good days and her bad days It was my experience on a glistening, glowing page on my phone.

And then we have Tarek. In different ways, some that we can treat with medication and therapy and some with only time. And some in ways that might never heal. Sometimes the good outweighs the bad. Sometimes those great times are so f-cking great that they make the bad times a little easier to handle. He also has the unique struggle of eczema, something I struggled with in middle school. I have literally never read a book with that representation in it before.

Unlike Quinn, he believes in love, passionate love that stems from grand gestures. Tarek also struggled with depression at college in an authentic, heartbreaking way, and I love love love reading books with two main characters both working through their own mental illnesses and learning to allow others to love them. Seeing them discuss therapy and medication? In a YA novel?

It feels like a warm hug. Also, for other RLS fans who have read her backlist, there's a glorious cameo that you will not miss. Thank you to Simon Teen for gifting me the early copy.

I felt like each of the characters were so easy to relate to and the story sort of jumped off the pages. I can always count on Rachel Lynn Solomon to deliver incredible stories! Overall, I really enjoyed this book, though some parts felt repetitive. But then again, that sense of repetitiveness made the story feel real, so I think it is allowed in this case. I found myself really wanting the main characters to get together, which made me not want to stop reading.

Therefore, this book was a solid 4. Jun 20, Claude's Bookzone rated it really liked it Shelves: new-adult , content-warning-see-text , romance.

CW: view spoiler [OCD, anxiety, depression,sexual content hide spoiler ] Well that was adorable and I really liked the relatable characters! I liked that the story had a bit of depth to it without feeling too laboured, if you know what I mean.

Both Quinn and Tarek are trying to work out what their futures looked like away from the pressures of working in their family businesses.

I was relieved there wasn't too much of the miscommunication trope as that can get wearisome 3. I was relieved there wasn't too much of the miscommunication trope as that can get wearisome.

He is a romantic, a fan of the grand gesture, and she hates all of that, believing love is ultimately doomed to fail. But as they grow closer and learn just how vulnerable the other is, Quinn needs to make sense of all of it—her feelings, her future plans, and her fears.

I love the Jewish representation she always includes and I loved the conversations around mental health, which are so important. See all of my reviews at itseithersadnessoreuphoria. Incredibly poignant and heart-wrenching, Rachel Lynn Solomon delivers a young adult contemporary unlike any other.

This was such a rich novel, whose characters laid bare on the page. Speaking of characters, despite not throwing in a gazillion referen 4. Seventeen year old Quinn Berkowitz hates grand gestures. Eighteen year old Tarek Mansour on the other hand? I must say, the experiences Quinn goes through really had me all over the place.

Despite disliking Quinn, I found her to be extremely infuriating , she feels so real as a character. Moreover, Tarek was the absolute sweetest! His character was so endearing. Tarek loves baking, and of course, rom-coms. What I found to be quite refreshing is that despite being a guy, he loves romance. His infatuation in it is something I have strictly only seen in female protagonists, so it was definitely a nice change of pace. Unfortunately though, I could never really understand what Tarek saw in Quinn.

Admittedly, this made me dislike her a lot more. Quinn is Jewish, and lives with OCD. Tarek is Muslim, and lives with eczema, and depression. However, I am someone that lives with eczema and is Muslim. In terms of eczema rep, I think it was represented quite accurately! I was actually quite disappointed with how it was portrayed. So if you're looking for good Muslim representation, you unfortunately won't find it here.

In addition, the dialogue is where it really hit me. It was just too good! The interactions Quinn and Tarek have are so genuine. They fight, they grieve, they love, and here I am tearing up, witnessing their whirlwind of emotions.

Although, I will say that some chapter transitions seemed as though they had cut off mid scene. Moreover, Tarek and Quinn had a very on and off relationship. At times, it felt much too repetitive. Nevertheless, the writing style was very charming, which is always a plus! It explores various aspects such as mental health, relationships, consent, and so much more! We rarely get to see these topics compiled into a single novel, and that my friends is what makes this book a must read for all.

Both the characters as an individual are a great development, but the chemistry between the two was totally missing. I would have loved to see some more deeper connection between Quinn and Tarek. Shelves: young-adult , audio-book. The story is lighthearted, sweet and angst-y. It's been a long time I found a great young adult novel that transitioned to new adult. I'll say this one is a gem. Quinn works on their family's wedding planning business and she's a harpist.

The heart is made up of four different blood-filled areas, and each of these areas is called a chamber. There are two chambers on each side of the heart. One chamber is on the top and one chamber is on the bottom. The two chambers on top are called the atria say: AY-tree-uh.

If you're talking only about one, call it an atrium. The atria are the chambers that fill with the blood returning to the heart from the body and lungs. The heart has a left atrium and a right atrium. The two chambers on the bottom are called the ventricles say: VEN-trih-kulz. The heart has a left ventricle and a right ventricle.

Their job is to squirt out the blood to the body and lungs. Running down the middle of the heart is a thick wall of muscle called the septum say: SEP-tum. The septum's job is to separate the left side and the right side of the heart.

The atria and ventricles work as a team — the atria fill with blood, then dump it into the ventricles. The ventricles then squeeze, pumping blood out of the heart. While the ventricles are squeezing, the atria refill and get ready for the next contraction. So when the blood gets pumped, how does it know which way to go?

Well, your blood relies on four special valves inside the heart. A valve lets something in and keeps it there by closing — think of walking through a door. The door shuts behind you and keeps you from going backward. They let blood flow from the atria to the ventricles. The other two are called the aortic say: ay-OR-tik valve and pulmonary say: PUL-muh-ner-ee valve , and they're in charge of controlling the flow as the blood leaves the heart.

These valves all work to keep the blood flowing forward. They open up to let the blood move ahead, then they close quickly to keep the blood from flowing backward. You probably guessed that the blood just doesn't slosh around your body once it leaves the heart. It moves through many tubes called arteries and veins , which together are called blood vessels. These blood vessels are attached to the heart. The blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries.
