My Crazy Rich Family : Running From My Psycho Father

My Crazy Rich Family : Running From My Psycho Father

Excerpt "You are staring at me again, McKenna" his deep voice whispered without opening what she knew to be honey brown eyes. "Yes. Yes, I am. My life is officially a Telenovela series" McKenna sat on the bed and laid her head on his chest. It was a nice solid chest made to be used as an occasional head pillow. "It's not so bad, Oma" He nibbled on her left ear slightly. Oma was an endearing name he loved calling her. Technically, it meant beautiful. "Yeah. Yeah" McKenna murmured again. "It's not so bad. You just told me yesterday, after about six months of marriage that you went to Malawi to help rebuild an Orphanage that belonged to your grandmother but you ended up adopting a six year old African American child that is on the run with her mother from her biological psycho father. What's so bad about that?" McKenna spoke too fast. Now, it was clearer why her brain took long enough to remember where she was. She was a stepmom! Yay! She was twenty four years old and to be a mother to a six year old, she would have to give birth at eighteen. "Baby, look at me" Jason urged her to turn and she did. "You will love Kara. And I know you will make a good mother to her" he kissed her nose. "A mother to a six year old....I was a virgin at eighteen! Your kid would take one look at me and conclude that I am Cinderella's stepmother" "Breathe, McKenna! Breathe....I freaked out too when I realized I was going to adopt her. It took running inside a burning building to save her for me to realize that I love and adore that little girl. I am willing to die for her. She is a Yagazie just like you are, now. Family take care of family" "Why the hell didn't you tell me you had a child before we got married?" McKenna yelled at him. ***" What happens when three powerful families are thrown into the mix together? You get chaos, betrayal and fight till the weaker family gives up. Meet Kara Hope Yagazie; years ago she was just a kid in an orphanage with no identity until one of the most powerful families in Africa adopted her. Kara starts life as an heiress to an empire, armed with the truth from her biological mother who hid her but kept an eye on her. Kara now knows that her biological mother and her are on the run from her psycho father, whose plan is to hunt down and kill them. One powerful family is enough to drive Kara crazy, what happens when she wakes up one day to find out she is now somehow related to three of the most powerful families in the Continent and in Canada. Can Kara survive her new family? Follow the Yagazie’s, the Donna's, The Spencer's and The Anene's as the figure out how to be a family despite the bad blood that went generation long. And while they try to outsmart each other, will they pause when one of them is in trouble? Having a Crazy Rich Family as an enemy might be more than Kane Brown, Kara's psycho father bargained for.

Losing weight, running, not losing weight, but gaining weight
There may be the following reasons for the weight gain during weight loss: 1. ** Physical adaptation **: If the running plan is unchanged for a long time, the body will gradually adapt to this exercise mode. After the metabolism and reaction adapt, the amount of calories consumed by the same amount of exercise will decrease, and the long-term weight loss goal will not be achieved. 2. ** Uncontrolled diet **: You don't control your diet during running. You consume too much high-calories food, such as milk tea, chocolate, barbecue, beer, potato chips, etc. The calories you consume are greater than the calories you consume during running. 3. ** Muscle gain **: Running may develop more muscles. Muscle density is higher than fat. Under the same weight, muscle volume is much smaller than fat. Even if body fat is reduced, body weight may increase due to muscle gain. In addition, muscle fiber thickness and muscle content increase after exercise will also increase body weight, especially in the early stages of exercise. 4. ** Question of exercise intensity and method **: - He only chose to run longer instead of running faster. The intensity of exercise was an important variable for fat loss, and low-intensity long-term endurance running did not help much in fat loss. - Running without trying other exercise modes, such as endurance running or walking, may weaken muscle strength and muscle growth, while riding a bicycle and weight training may be more effective for muscle growth and fat burning. 5. ** Misconception of Calorie Consumption **: It is wrong to think that most of the calories are consumed by exercise. Daily life such as sleeping, standing, eating, thinking, etc. all require energy consumption. Running consumes less calories than daily consumption. Moreover, sprinting or weight training will increase muscle mass. Increasing muscle mass will help the body burn more calories, but it may also lead to weight gain. 6. ** Sudden increase in exercise intensity **: For people who exercise frequently but suddenly increase their exercise intensity, the consumption rate of muscle glycogen in their body increases as the exercise intensity increases. After exercise, replenishing food will increase the storage of muscle glycogen in the body, which will lead to weight gain. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Is morning running or night running good for weight loss?
There were different opinions on which one was better for weight loss, morning run or night run. One view was that running in the morning was better for weight loss. In the morning, after a whole night of metabolism, the body's glycogen was low. At this time, an empty stomach might consume a larger proportion of fat. In the morning, an empty stomach could consume 20% of fat because when the blood sugar in the body was too low, fat would be converted to glucose as fuel. If you don't add a lot of glycogen (such as drinking Red Bull, eating rice, etc.) within 3 - 4 hours before exercise, and the exercise intensity and time meet certain requirements, the morning run is more efficient in reducing fat. For example, under the conditions of not eating breakfast, running at a pace of six minutes, and exercising for 20 minutes, a morning run could consume 260 calories, and in summer, when the pace was increased to about five minutes, it could consume 300 calories. Another view was that morning runs and night runs were equally effective in losing weight. Both of them were running. Although the time was different, they could both consume calories and fat. From this point of view, it was impossible to tell who was better at losing weight. There was also a view that night running was good for weight loss. For example, the University of Denmark's experiments on mice showed that mice that exercised in the evening had more metabolism in their muscles, which was 3.8 times that of morning exercise, which meant that exercise at night could consume more fat. However, if the body still had more energy storage (such as eating too much at lunch, eating afternoon tea, or eating dinner before running), it might only consume 200 calories in 20 minutes. Even if you ran for 10 - 20 minutes, you might not be able to consume excess calories, which would affect the weight loss effect. However, if you did not eat for two hours before running, you could achieve better weight loss by extending the running time or distance. In summary, morning and night runs had their own advantages and disadvantages. The weight loss effect was also related to a person's physical condition, exercise habits, and many other factors.

Drinking water after losing weight and running is equivalent to running for nothing
This statement was wrong. Running could consume excess fat in the body and achieve the goal of slimming down. After running, the body would be in a state of mild dehydration, and the metabolism would slow down. Drinking a moderate amount of water would help to consume heat in the body and promote the movement of the digestive tract. The toxins in the body would be expelled from the body along with sweat and feces, which would have the effect of losing weight. However, it should be noted that weight loss requires a combination of exercise and diet control. You can't rely solely on drinking water or running to achieve your weight loss goal.

Can you lose weight by running 1500 meters?
Running 1500 meters can help you lose weight and burn your body fat, but you must pay attention to perseverance. If he stopped midway, it was very likely that he would fail to lose weight and might even cause his weight to rebound. However, the effect of losing weight by running 1500 meters alone may be relatively limited. It can also be combined with other cardiovascular exercises such as yoga, biking, mountain climbing, etc., and pay attention to a balanced diet, appropriate intake of easily digested liquid food and vitamine-rich food, which will help to achieve better weight loss.

Will you lose weight by running every day?
Running every day helped to lose weight, but it was affected by many factors. From the perspective of energy consumption, running was a kind of cardiovascular exercise that could burn calories. An adult of a standard weight would consume about 550 kcal of energy after jogging for an hour. However, the order in which the body consumed energy was that it consumed glycogen first, then fat. The body would only use a large amount of fat to supply energy after running for about 30 minutes. At the same time, the effect of running to lose weight was related to the running time. Running for no less than 40 minutes at a time was more conducive to fat burning and weight loss. However, he should pay attention to not over-exercise and should increase the running time according to his physique. Apart from running itself, diet was also very important. During running to lose weight, you should control your intake of calories, reduce the consumption of greasy and fried foods, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as dragon fruit, kiwifruit, cucumber, tomatoes, and other foods that are low in calories and full. In addition, in terms of staple food, replace refined rice and fine flour with high-fiber coarse grains, potatoes, and grains. Add high-quality protein to complementary foods (such as pork, beef, sheep, lean meat, fish, shrimp, seafood, eggs, milk, etc.), which will help muscle growth without bringing too much heat. This will help build a lean body and achieve true weight loss. Moreover, losing weight was not the same as losing weight. Losing weight might only mean a decrease in water content, muscle mass, or other substances in the body. It did not necessarily mean a decrease in body fat percentage. If he wanted to have a significant change in his body, he needed to pay attention to the reduction of body fat percentage, which meant that he needed to really reduce the amount of fat, not just look at the change in weight.

Can you lose weight by walking and running?
Walking and running (a combination of walking and running) can help you lose weight. The key to losing weight was to consume more calories than you consume. The combination of walking and running was a type of low to moderate intensity exercise that could promote metabolism and consume the body's energy. When walking and running were combined, as the exercise progressed, the body would gradually increase the energy consumption. When the exercise intensity reached a certain level and lasted for a certain period of time, the body would begin to consume fat to provide energy, which would help reduce the amount of fat stored in the body and achieve the effect of weight loss. However, if you want to achieve your weight loss goal by walking and running, you need to consider the following factors: 1. Duration of exercise: Each exercise should reach a certain length of time, generally recommended for more than 30 minutes. As his stamina increased, he could gradually increase the duration. 2. Movement frequency: You should maintain a certain frequency of exercise every week, such as 3 - 5 times, so that you can continue to consume calories and make the weight loss effect more obvious. 3. Dietary control: While walking and running, you also need to pay attention to diet control, avoid eating too much high-calories food, and ensure that the intake of calories is lower than the consumption of calories.
