#November stats

December 1 — Reviewing November Data

I love data so let’s assess how the past month went using my Fitbit info. First, though, the daily check-in.

Current weight: 194.3 lbs

My reaction when I saw the number on the scale? Honestly? “This is fucking bullshit.” It continues to blow my mind that I can eat so little, exercise, and not lose weight. However, I’m still committed. So many things in life come so easily to me. I’m going to let this be hard.

Thursday, December 1:

Cold brew before the gym

Breakfast — Cold brew, stir fry with 2 eggs, chickpeas. half of a sweet potato, half of an onion, and half of a garlic clove. I ate half of the veggies and saved the rest for another day. Then I added the two eggs to my stir fry.

Dinner — Greek salad with salmon

I have been feeling lethargic today. I even took a nap and moved one of my activities to the next day because I was so sleepy. But maybe this is a good sign. When we’re accessing our stored fat, from what I’ve read, we’re supposed to feel more tired. It’s like eating frozen food, it’s not supposed to feel fresh.

Alright so let’s dig into the November data.

Here’s my weight:

I was feeling annoyed that I didn’t get to 190, but I did lose about 6-7 lbs this month. And I’ve been working out out hard, with my arms sore alllll last week, so some muscle gain must be contributing to the apparently slow weight loss.

For funsies, here’s how many calories I burned:

As you can see, most days it’s over 3k! And for anyone new here, it’s that high of a number because I’m 6’ tall.

My steps:

I’ve been steadily increasing my step count since I got the Fitbit in August. This month I was sick twice, which is why there are a few days in the beginning and middle of the month with very low step counts. And yeah, you would think as a server I’d be getting crazy #s of steps, but our restaurant is very small. On slow days I barely get 3k steps at work!

So those are my stats right now! I’m looking forward to comparing them with next month’s.

Congrats to the top 10 Dangan girls who are shippable with other girls

Congrats specifically to Kaede, who is SO shippable with other girls that no matter WHAT I do, she is always around 100 posts higher than the next-highest girl, and is 500 posts higher than the least shipped girl from the main games (RIP Jack)

Mayhaps I will not actually be able check the blog too closely for repeat reblogs

New Yorkers Stand Up!!

Now, let’s make sure Trump can’t run and someone find a way to disqualify Biden!

Tired of elderly men who clearly have cognition issues trying to run this fucking country. Minimum age requirements exist - so should maximum age limits!!

do you use any site/spreadsheet/etc. to track your comic reading? i use locg right now but have been considering other options.

... yes. technically. but bc i'm an autistic bitch i just. have a google spreadsheet i'm gonna be honest. i log it all manually.

this is an example of what a random section looks like of my 2023 spreadsheet. in order it's: title, issue/volume number, page count, date i finished the comic, and my personal rating. blue and red is obviously DC and Marvel. pink means the numbering is counting single issues, yellow means it's counting volumes/trades. sometimes for the page count i guesstimate based on how long comics tend to be if i can't find an exact page count. the colors in the rating are just for fun so i can easily see what stuck out as 10/10 and what stuck out as 1/10.

then i take all of *that* data and condense it into monthly stats. all by hand bc idk how to like. properly use google sheets that well.

obviously i'm aware all of this is likely the most tedious way to do it and i'm probably making it harder for myself. however. i am just Like That. i do use the Comics Geeks app as well, which i think is a solid app? i just haven't fully logged everything i've read because i find that to be wildly tedious. but the stat breakdowns it gives about most read characters and writers and whatnot is nifty. though you can tell the app is more geared toward tracking comic collections rather than comics read.

so uh. i'm not the best person to ask about this probably lkjhghgjhkjjkjh i will always brute force my own way than just doing it the. smart way. but! i do keep track of it all and i find it very useful to do so, because i like seeing the trends of what i was reading when. also i enjoy the data of how i rated a comic when i read it vs how i feel about it now that it's sat with me. idk if this helps but!! i do like rambling about my spreadsheet!

Hii! Is your queue tag just a play on words or is it also a reference to something? Because when I saw it I thought of the song “Talking To Myself” by Gatlin 😆

hiii!

the answer is both! i thought it would be a cute pun, and it's a reference to a song title! my "talking to myself" is a different song though: this one is by a band named catch the young!

[allsassnoclass]

11, 97, and 29 pretty pls ♥️

hi annie!!!

11. "Can't Catch Me Now" by Olivia Rodrigo

lowkey very obsessed with this song if i'm honest!

97. "Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea" by Fall Out Boy

i love the opening for this one and also i think the line "I'm about to go Tonya Harding on the whole world's knee" is funny

29. "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from the 2020 live recording of Mary Poppins

(this album was the closest one to the music we were using for our production, so this is what we danced to when the actors were first learning the choreo so they didn't have to provide the vocals. that's the sole reason it's on here. hazards of being a theater choreographer lol)

Send me a number 1-100 and I’ll tell you what song it corresponds to on my Spotify wrapped!

Sometimes, I look at the three fandoms I'm active in and the fics with wildly different fuckeries* I'm posting for each one, and I feel vaguely apologetic toward the poor souls subscribed to me. RIP, your inboxes.

* Currently, we have noncon merman porn for MCU, dubcon (mild) monsterfucking for Bleach, and underage teacher–student for Jujutsu Kaisen. The doves are varying stages of dead and decayed and will continue to be so.

My datemate's birthday is coming up, and he's hoping for it he can get all of his stuff from his parent's place (and in turn a visit from his mom, since she hasn't seen him in what will be a full year and four days on his bday). Out of everything he's excited to have his favorite stuffed animal to cuddle with again, a 3ft tall emperor penguin who's called Penguin (recently named Cuddles. But we still just refer to him as Penguin). I bought Penguin for him in a goodwill for like $4 about 2 years ago, and it's been my love's favorite thing ever since. He says Penguin is the perfect firmness for cuddling, as he likes a stiff stuffed animal. He really misses holding him. So I hope his mom comes thru and brings all his stuff. But at the very least, Penguin.
