103
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: I said, the first thing I said is, Okay, we're

104
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: about to be locked down. I want to come out

105
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: a better person than I went in, Like I don't

106
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: want this thing to come out, and I bust out

107
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: out and I look like I've been in jail lifting weight.

108
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: Like you don't lock down, but you can come out better, right,

109
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: Like I just came off the yard, right right, as

110
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: long as you got them dreads, Okay, no, no, no,

111
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: car Rolls, You're gonna be good, car Rolls, then you

112
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: really look like I will be good, you know, and

113
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: being it's just being a mother of a nine year

114
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: old boy who have a lot of energy and just saying,

115
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, we like you've always asked me questions like

116
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: what's your next five years look like? Where's the next

117
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: ten years look like? And if I really look back,

118
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I've done things, but have I really

119
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: made a significant change? Um? I could be funny, I

120
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: can keep moving on, but really, what is the next

121
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: The one thing I can control is what I put

122
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: in my mouth and what I do with my body

123
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: anything else, and a lot of things you know other

124
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: people can control. But if you can't control yourself, then

125
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: what what what are you doing? So you know, that's

126
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: how I would say how it started, that the one

127
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: thing I can control will give me, um the confidence

128
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: to do other things. Because I can't control this, I

129
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: can make the outcome better and be stronger and and

130
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: um just healthier. So I think that's what it was.

131
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: You know, Um, I've been when I look at it

132
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: as weight loss and a diet, it never worked. It

133
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: always came back. But with w W I have. I've

134
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: learned to be healthy. I make better choices, and I

135
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: can cook for me and Joshua. So that's what I

136
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: was messing up with. I was making food for him,

137
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: and I was trying to make food for me, and

138
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: I was going through this, you know, just eating and this.

139
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: It was just out of control. And I'll be honest

140
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: with you, ra Sean, what I tell people, and and

141
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: not just weight loss, but in life, go back and

142
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: look at your pictures because of what we do is

143
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: we take a lot of pictures. We take a lot

144
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: of pictres. We used to front of out, which was better.

145
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: And we never looked out. But if you go back

146
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: and look at your pictures and see where you were

147
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: or how you're doing, it makes you accountable. And so

148
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 1: I looked back on some pictures. I was like, oh lord,

149
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: I was big, and it was it was working with

150
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: it though it was working with I have a picture

151
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: of me when I went the Emmys, I was bragging

152
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: about and then and then my staff went, boy, look

153
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: at those fat cheeks. You know who was on the

154
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: zoom call and went, what you're talking about? Boy? He

155
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: was gone, chuckey. Back in the day, that's my biggie Emmy.

156
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: I was on stage with Mario Lopez. I thought I

157
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: was looking good. My suit was fine. But I was

158
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventeen pounds when I won that Emmy,

159
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: turning seventy pounds now I'm one seven. That's a difference.

160
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: That's a different look, that's a different commitment. And you

161
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: know my waistline thirty six. So I'm just saying to

162
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: letting everybody, I'm an advocate of what you're doing with

163
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: w W. You know, we know we're all our basis

164
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: being a comedian. We're gonna be funny, But when you

165
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: move all funny aside, it's about how do you feel

166
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: and how do you look at What are you most

167
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: proud of. I brag about the fact that I've lost

168
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: twenty pounds and and that's important. You know. The person

169
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: who got me moving in that direction was Morris chest None.

170
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: He got me moving in that direction to look at

171
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: weight loss and considering it and say, you know you

172
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: can I saw high good, he looked in that that

173
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: that that that that part two or best man. I went, dude,

174
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: what did you do? And he told me he lost weight?

175
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: Went okay, cool. So when I looked at when I

176
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: when I heard about this, I immediately had to get

177
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: you on the phone to re interview you about this

178
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: because the fact, you know, I'm proud of your acting,

179
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: a proud of the comedy, I'm proud of the fact

180
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: that your mother, But I'm mostly proud of this new

181
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: commitment to yourself because sometimes we have to sit back

182
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: and make a commitment to ourselves. And that's what I

183
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,479
Speaker 1: see the w W W program is about. It's a selfish

184
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: moment for you to be able to say you know something, Uh,

185
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: I got to do something different and it's not cheating

186
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: on myself. It's not looking sideways in the mirror so

187
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: I can find the best angle that I look good.

188
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: You know, we all got that angle, you know. I

189
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: call that that that mirror look where you can just

190
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: turn your head and you look a little younger if

191
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: you could just hold that look. But guess what, you

192
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: can't hold that look that look, hold that look, the

193
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: hold that look. But w W is trying to give

194
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: you that to it for our look though, Well, you

195
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: don't have to hold nothing now, so I don't even

196
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: have to wear thanks anymore, literally wearing all kind of

197
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: girdles and thanks. And then finally this game show and

198
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: I realized I didn't have to put it on, and

199
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wow, it makes light a little easier.

200
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: And we're not talking a whole lot of eight uh.

201
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: I am now like twenty six pounds down, um, And

202
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: it makes a difference, just like you said it just

203
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: it makes me move. I'm accountable because you know, if

204
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: I didn't say, oh I gotta work out, at least

205
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: get on the elliptical treadmill, right, you know. And I'm

206
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: not talking to big workout, not like forty minutes fifteen

207
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: in the morning, right down me and you on the

208
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: same page. See see what you're not gonna do to

209
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: Roushan exactly like I'm suddenly gonna be honest fortunator. Okay,

210
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm just pumping out that that pumping ironed it ever

211
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: happened at roshan if. Steve har used to always laugh

212
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: at me when I when I told her what I

213
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: did in the gym, You go, reallys I go in there,

214
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: I do curl, curl, doing like real thirty one third

215
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: third or I'm done, he said, But what are you doing?

216
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: I said, I'm done. I'm done. And so so that's

217
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: now another thing I've done is I'm stretching. Now that

218
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: has been something I've found to be such a blessing

219
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: for me. Now. I never stretched in my life, and

220
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: I realized that Kim, I was losing my swag, my stride.

221
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: I was making a conscious elf, conscious effort to be cool,

222
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,359
Speaker 1: you know, because you know, as you get older, your

223
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: your stride gets shorter and your muscles gets started contracting. Okay,

224
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: and so that means that you and that's why you

225
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: see people start taking those little bity staffs to start

226
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: bending over the lot, or or they make a conscious

227
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: effort to reach out for something, or they walk or

228
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: they reach out real short. That's because people are not stretching.

229
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: And so now long see see right there. See so

230
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: now you're twenty six pounds down and now you're stretching.

231
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: Tell everybody on the w W program, which Oprah Winfrey

232
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: Ball changing from Weight Watchers made WW tell us that

233
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: next step, how you feeling right now? Because we're gonna

234
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: get into the posse next. But I wanted to start

235
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: the interview Kim about your new journey because it has

236
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: to be a commitment. A lot of people want to.

237
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: They want to, they want to just think losing weight

238
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: is it's something automatic. But see if you want to

239
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: stay off, like I said, I lost the weight, I

240
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: lost this weight in so I'm in and I kept

241
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: it off, okay, and and so and so even I'm

242
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: gonna just tell you this. In December, I was at

243
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: nine and I and I went whoa, whoa, and I

244
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: ran over the Golden Corral. I went over the Golden

245
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: Corral and and and hey, hey, hey, hey hey, and

246
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: got crazy for a couple of days in a row

247
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: to get back up to one five. And so I'd

248
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: like to say I jumped between one ninty five and

249
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: one ninty seven on the daily basis, and I'm happy.

250
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: So but talk about that it being able to get

251
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: on the w W program. And also and then we

252
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: won't slide right on the end of the deposse that

253
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: those ladies of two twenty two queens o that with

254
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: you on this ride. Yeah, yeah, you know its um.

255
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I was so excited for the opportunity, uh,

256
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: because I did not understand what w W was about.

257
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: And when I was presented with the opportunity, it was

258
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: a perfect time, like I said, um, and it just

259
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: worked for me, like the first week, you know. But

260
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: you know my friends as were going to talk about

261
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: I needed to be accountable. So you know, once they

262
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: give you a coach, you were accountable to them, you know,

263
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: because you you they talked to you that. Like you said,

264
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: you wear yourself every day. I weighed myself once a

265
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: week because every day I would be bad. Um, I

266
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: will admit I weighed myself every day. I get up

267
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: at four o'clock, I staggered down the stairs to base

268
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: to it full five. I step on that scale now.

269
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: And so I've committed to it and I'm just letting

270
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: you know that's for you. No, you're right, because it

271
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: does keep you to check yourself. I have some friends

272
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: on w W and it does make you go, oh,

273
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: I gotta really drinkable water today, or I gotta work out.

274
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: But I love it because the program is customized for me.

275
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: Uh and and once you feel in all your what

276
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: you like and you know I'm on the purple team.

277
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: And that's what I love about that. It actually helped

278
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: me they accountable, put my weight in, drink my water.

279
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: It has a tracking system. But the app, the w

280
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: W app, is the most incredible thing that has ever

281
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: been made. This app. I call it my genie in

282
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: the pocket. It is like I can rub when it

283
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: will come out. It'll give me a workout. It tells

284
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: me how many points I have left. It'll give me

285
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: free foods, which sometimes when I'm too close to ending

286
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: on my points, it'll say eat this, eat that. I

287
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: eat all kind of fruits and vegetables, which has what

288
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: he's doing is training me on how to eat. When

289
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: all this is over and I go back on the road,

290
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: I might not grab that bag of cheetostaid. I might

291
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: just say, you know what, I'm gonna eat two apples

292
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: or whatever the case. But that's what it has done

293
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: for me. It really has uh kept me accountable. And

294
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: and it's not hard. That's I thought it was gonna

295
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: be hard, and it's so easy. And that's why I

296
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: want everyone to be on it because it's not only

297
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: about losing weight. It's just about a lifestyle and being

298
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: healthy and being able to cook healthy meals. And we're

299
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: not talking about nasty meals with about good meals. I

300
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: made some uh some chili, some being chili the other

301
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: day zero points done it ship so it has all

302
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: kind of recipes in it. And said, I wanted to

303
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: work out like you said stretches. I put in the

304
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: little app I'd like to stretch today. A little app

305
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: shows me a little person. They come up, they helped

00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: So what happens is they start seeing the results. There's

398
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: those people they come in there like oh wow, oh

405
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: that we talked and we have a text chat that

406
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: we talked because we share recipes, we share ideas. Sometimes

407
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: I will say, you know, our game two pounds, I

408
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: don't feel good. I need to get better, and they're like, no,

Speaker 1: recipe this week, do this, do that, And that has

411
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: been absolutely amazing. So the poppy keeps growing because once

412
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: I was at eighteen pounds, everybody's like, oh wait a minute,

413
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: people saw me. Then I got to twenty something pounds.

414
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: Now I'm at twenty six pounds. But every time they

415
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: see me, people are like, what are you doing? I'm like,

416
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm on ww and it works. It works. I have

417
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: ever done anything that's been so simple, Like usually i'm hungry,

418
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm not hungry, like I eat real food. I've eaten

419
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: fruit and vegetables like I've never done before because now

420
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: they taste could um the you know, it's all the

421
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: different recipes and waisy. And then in the app it

422
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: has restaurants. So like to say, if I went to

423
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: my Dinhoset, Carls Junior, wherever I stopped, I were looking

424
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: the apt first, because if I buying it and then

425
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 1: look at it, I'm in trouble. But I look at

426
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: and I say, okay, I got so many points left,

427
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: what do I want? And they'll say it's gal. You

428
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: can get a grilled chicken sais. I'm like, oh okay,

429
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: I get that, and I put it in there and

430
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: it's track and I still got points left. But what

431
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: happens is wherever I go, cheesecakes factory, anywhere, I can

432
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: put it in the app so I can live on,

433
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, like so it makes it nice and then

434
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: guess what we fall down the positive looking only be

435
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: like girl, I used some ice cream. I used really,

436
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: I really am surprised I had a birthday. Probably we ate,

437
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: but then we said, okay, we had our fun, let's

438
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: get back on it. And that's what's so great about that.

439
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: And that's why having someone doing it with you and

440
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: be like minded rashin Like I was like, oh, I

441
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: need you in my life more. When you have like

442
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: minded people, it motivates you. You know, it makes you

443
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: do what you're trying to do and what you're trying

444
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: to acopt. You've got people who are like, here, have

445
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: these donuts, here, let's lay around and let's do this

446
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: and that. No, but I might say, hey girls, you

447
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: wanna go for a walk? Hey girl, you know I'm

448
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna make a nice salad. Like minded people, you move

449
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: in the right direction. And that's why the post has

450
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: been so very important um um to me. You know.

451
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: And then there's a lot of moms in there and

452
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: single people, so you know it's it's it's arranged. Which, well,

453
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: here's the deal. Everybody, we don't everybody needs to look better,

454
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,959
Speaker 1: feel better, wake up and realize that they're giving themselves

455
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: an opportunity to have a better life. And that's that

456
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: starts with you physically. You know, we have mental depression.

457
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: We can have physical depression too because when we look

458
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: in the mirror, we can keep lying to ourselves, keep

459
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: lying to ourselves. But sometimes that back ache is tied

460
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: to too much weight. Sometimes that back ache is tied

461
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: to bad eating habits and the oh and then during

462
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: the pandemic, we found that African American people of color

463
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: are you know, overtly or susceptible to COVID nineteen hospitalizations

464
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: and unfortunately sometimes death. So I feel that what you're

465
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: presenting right now with w w W. I know they're

466
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: not promoting that as part of the cause, but our

467
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: eating habits have to change. And I say our I'm

468
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: talking about leading the campaign for African Americans. We all

469
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: brag about fried chicken, We all brag about, you know,

470
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: eating that that colar greens with that hog molder and

471
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: chip linens and corn bread and all that good stuff.

472
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: But guess what that can lead you to an early grave,

473
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: especially with the COVID ninteen and Dr Anthony Fauci has

474
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: stated that COVID nineteen is not going anywhere because with anything,

475
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: nothing's gonna ever be a one. Even the flu vaccine

476
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: is only forty of a cure or of effectiveness, but

477
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: they have to put it out there. That's why when

478
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: some people get the flu vaccine, they get shocked when

479
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: they get the flu. Anyway, well it's on Okay, So

480
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: when they release a vaccine for COVID and it's not

481
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a p either. So right now, what you're

482
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: dealing with with w W is an opportunity to be

483
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: able to change people's lives. And also when they wake up,

484
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: feel better? Do you do? Don't you feel a lot

485
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: better when you wake up? M Oh my god. I

486
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: feel so much better. I can run up the steps.

487
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: Before I was hanging on the wall, hanging on the banister.

488
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: I feel much better. I have more energy. My daughter,

489
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: she's laughing. Okay, damn, okay, uh, really, you're breathing hard

490
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: just coming up the steps. Hey, leaving alone? Leave alone.

491
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm just walking up steps. You swear. I was on

492
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: a bike, riding hard sometimes walking up those steps. Now,

493
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,119

532
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: And really, I mean, if you think about it, with

533
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: all of us, we've lost a total of two hundred

534
00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: and seventy seven pounds collectively, right, so every one has

535
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: lost something. Others need to lose more, something only needed

536
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: to lose ten. But we have all done something together

537
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: and it's made us better for it and We've become

538
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: a family um during this time. So it's it's just

539

Speaker 1: thirty pounds, We say a pounds of time or two

542
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: pounds or you know, maybe ten pounds of pounds, because

543
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: when you say, oh, I want to lose thirty pounds,

544
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: it's just overwhelming. Like this week, I was like, okay,

548
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: really encourage everyone, especially mothers, because we always put everyone

549
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: else first and then you know, try to help ourselves.

550
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: Well you know, I know this about myself and losing

551
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: twenty pounds is that you can fall off that wagon.

552
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: You can fall off board. Your boys see a little

553
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: ice creams you cup kick with the white ice and

554
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's just not enough to eat just two Okay,

555
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: I gotta look at that third and fourth. So when

556
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: you fall off that wagon, you have to have people

557
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: to encourage you just say that's all right, but come

558
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: on back, come on back, Because see, that's what the

559
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: w W program does for you. It makes you. It

560
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: gives you a program and you can consistently win with.

561
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: And that's what it is. It's like like you, like

562
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: you said, like I told you earlier. I can remember

563
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: right February I lost. I lost twenty pounds. Twenty pounds

564
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: now now in there's some August, I'm still at that

565
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: twenty pound mark. That's because I had to figure out myself.

566
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: I had to figure out. Okay, Rashwan, you're eating late

567
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: at night. You can't eat like that in the morning.

568
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't put that onto you. You know,

569
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: you can't rushan look here now and and and a

570
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of people don't realize that ice cream is cool

571
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: just a lot of not just a lot of ice cream,

572
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: you know. And so diets really give a bad um

573
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: a statement about what you really can't eat, because it

574
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: all comes down to portions. It all comes down to

575
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: being a sensible person, being mindful of exercise, not a

576
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: not to You're not trying to win when the Olympics.

577
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: You're not trying to compute with anybody to track and feel.

578
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking about stretching while you're watching the morning news,

579
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen twenty minutes, give yourself, trying to touch

580
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: your toes, you know, doing high steps so you can

581
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: do some stomach crunches. All this stuff I had to

582
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: figure out so I can be happy about myself. And

583
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: so that's all you're trying to do right now. That's it.

584
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be happy and I want to

585
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: feel better. That's the thing that people have to understand.
