#from 1 to 90

[from-1-to-90]

Days 7-12 of 90

I've had a friend visiting from out of town over the past few days so I didn't follow my normal workout schedule. However, I still got some good workouts in on a couple of the days!

On days 6-8 I didn't do any workouts, which was fine because it was the weekend and I wanted to give myself a break anyway after working out for 5 days in a row. And on day 9, I ended up hiking for 4 hours straight! It was a relatively mild hike, but still, 4 hours is a lot. My friend and I hadn't intended to hike for that long, but it all worked out. And I'm happy with it - it was a great workout. On day 10, I did a much less strenuous walk in a park for about an hour and a half. And then no workout on day 11.

Today is day 12, and I want to get back into my normal workout routine. Especially since I haven't done any physical therapy exercising for the past 6 days. I'm planning to head back to the gym today to get back into the swing of things.

My friend suggested I purchase some ankle weights to use on my surgical leg, so that I can continue to work on strengthening it even when I'm just walking around the house. I think that's a great idea, so I'll probably be buying some ankle weights soon.

EXERCISE SESSION

Stationary bike, 2 mi, level 4 difficulty, 10 mins (mainly using surgical leg)

Elliptical, 0.5 mi, level4-5 incline, 10 mins

PT block A

Treadmill 0.5 mi, level 4 incline, 10 mins

FOOD

I did buy some healthier snacking options, and I've actually been enjoying a healthy smoothie for breakfast! It's nice because I don't always have a big appetite in the morning, but it's easy to just drink a smoothie while I'm waking up.

My smoothie ingredients:

a small handful of fresh spinach (I'll probably switch to frozen spinach soon, just because it's a little easier)

~1/2 a cup of plain greek yogurt

1 banana

~1/4 cup of frozen strawberries

~1/4 cup of frozen peaches

~1/2 cup of water

It's great because I'm still getting some good protein and nutrients from the greek yogurt and the spinach, but it also still tastes decent because the banana sweetens everything.

On a separate note, as much as I hate calorie counting, I think I'm going to have to do it in a loose way for a little while. NOT for the purposes of restricting, but just to make sure that I'm actually getting enough calories / nutrients into my body. For example, I noticed that the smoothie in the morning is nice and filling, and that means that I haven't been eating anything else in the morning. Which is all fine and good if I'm actually getting enough calories into my body, but if not, then I'm actively working against my ability to gain muscle mass. So that's why I think I'm going to have to calorie count, just for a bit until I have the ability to eyeball foods and approximate their calories so that I can make sure I'm getting enough.

Update: I did track my calories for the day, and after dinner I was at 1,908 calories, which is great. I will note that I ate a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which I don't always do. So it seems like as long as I eat three proper meals, I should be fine. I'll likely be over 1,908 by the end of the night because I'll probably have a snack this evening, but that doesn't bother me. I want to build muscle, so keeping my food intake around 2,000ish calories (for the days when I'm working out) seems right.

SELF CARE

By the way, when I was at the grocery store, I ended up picking up a bag of Dr. Teal’s Pink Himalayan Mineral Soak. I’ve been getting more into taking baths lately, and this looked like something good to try. I ended up using it after my 4 hour hike, and it was ✨glorious✨. I just added in a cup and a half of the mineral soak into my running bath water, and the instant I stepped in, it felt like my aches were just getting soothed away. The mineral soak has epsom salt in it, which I assume was what made the difference. And it must have really helped because my legs didn’t even feel particularly sore the next day, despite the fact that I’m really not used to hiking for that long. So, mineral soaks for the win. 

MEASUREMENTS

Chest: 36.5

Waist: 31

Hips: 40

Left bicep: 10.75

Right bicep: 11.25

Left thigh (3 inches down): 22

Right thigh (3 inches down): 23.5

Weight: 150.1

BMI: 24.1

Weight has technically gone down by a couple of pounds since I started weighing myself, but I don't trust it because that kind of weight fluctuation could be due to anything (hormonal weight gain/loss due to cycle fluctuation, water retention, etc.). So I'm not putting any kind of stock into the weight number until it's been several weeks and I can see the overall trend. Also, I had a fairly significant hair cut a few days ago, so that might have also played a small factor into the weight difference. Who knows.

Grumbo Week - Day Six: AU

Week event held by @grumboweek

(Context: years ago there is a discussion of Soul Eater AU and I suggested Mumbo to be a flintlock firearm type weapon... and now its the chance to try it out :P)

#design tidbit 1: although being a classy Baker Rifle mumbo's function is very futuristic. auto-aiming and stuff #design tidbit 2: in this au mumbo gave one of his gloves to grian as a part of the weapon and for better resonate #I hope I haven't forgot much from the comic itself soul eater's story setting have so much to explore 🥹 #grumboweek #daysixprompt #hermitshipping #grumbo #90 draws

my current theory is that PJO TV is gonna go the exact same route as the movies:

Movie/Season 1 - The writing is meh and is criticized alongside the heavy deviations from the original series. Some people are staunch believers that it is too harshly criticized for being a derivative series, and they're probably right to some degree. As a stand-alone media it's somewhat confusing without original context and generally received as Medium-At-Best, but not the worst thing ever.

Movie/Season 2 - The writers respond to criticism by making changes recommended by feedback to the first [season/movie]. These changes to be closer to the books are generally regarded favorably. The second [movie/season] is regarded with little fanfare. They solve too much way too early on and essentially kill any chance for them to continue the series, but set up a continuation anyways by introducing Thalia. They announce plans for the third [movie/season] and everyone is confused.

Movie/Season 3 - Is announced but never comes to fruition and everyone is kind of relieved by that. Also I personally hope Disney+ will be dead by this point. Maybe Netflix will pick it up to go with the TKC movies. I dunno.

#pjo #riordanverse #pjo tv #pjo tv crit #bonus comparison [movie/season] 1 - people complain a lot about Annabeth casting and those people are generally regarded as assholes #but otherwise the casting is largely seen as perfectly acceptable and often good #select scenes from [movie/season] 1 and 2 will be regarded as individual gems and agreeable deviations from the source material #often in part for being funny. such as ''this is a pen'' - medusa in general - Percy new yorker moments - ''dont walk on my roof'' - etc #we're gonna get s2 and Leah's gonna get the blonde braids everybody's been drawing Annabeth with a la Annabeth becoming blonde for movie 2 #< that tag is sarcasm but also i wouldnt put it past them to do that. it would be wholly unnecessary. but they did it before #tbh 90% of this is just me hoping D+ dies within 3 years #you can tell they're really banking on PJO propping it up

Love (cannot emphasis how much sarcasm there is in that word) that an official Canadian government response to high cellphone rates is to switch carriers.

Switch it to what? We basically have three companies since one was allowed to eat the forth (with the government saying it wasn't anti-competition and the company eating the other pinky promising they wouldn't jack rates up). Even the smaller companies have to rent infrastructure from the Big Three so there's only so much they can do if that rent costs an arm and a leg.

And that's not touching on how many "small companies" are actually just subsidiaries of the Big Three. You may save $5 but you're still with Telus/Rogers/Bell.

Or that the actual small companies tend to have shit coverage because they don't have the infrastructure available to them and are prevented from getting it. Or their traffic is throttled in favour of the Big Three's customers. Or both.

Or that they're extremely regional thus aren't an option for a huge chunk of Canada's population.

We have no true options and the government has shown time and again that they're fine with monopolies, in multiple industries, and don't care when said monopolies jack up prices to make shareholders and the c-suite more money at the expense of everyone else. At most there will be a verbal slap on the wrist and a giftcard for $25 that people have to register for, for a decade and a half of price gouging.

It's not talked a whole lot about outside the country from what I've seen and heard but Canada is a country of monopolies. A handful of companies own nearly everything, every province has a family or two that owns a hell of a lot (Nova Scotia is basically owned by one family at this point), and our government ignores it. Even the branch that is supposed to be against monopolies is fine with mergers and takeovers in most cases.

Because, you know, the company said it totally wouldn't use consumers' lack of options to increase prices.

#canada #so much of our infrastructure and critical construction such as housing #has been pawned off for decades to private companies #and i forgot to mention one (1) family owns the bridge that is a major international corridor between canada and the us #which is apparently fine even though they fought tooth and nail to stop a bridge they don't own from being built #like our housing crisis can be traced back to the government deciding to stop building public housing in the 90s #because they figured private developers would pick up the slack #affordable apartments don't bring in much money so we got decades of cheap-ass 'luxury condos' instead #and once airbnb became a thing we got entire buildings with units <300sqft #and of course when the party in charge rotates between conservatives and neolibs nothing changes and that can gets kicked down the road #and keeps getting kicked until something collapses and they see the chance to fully privatize an industry #something similar is happening to our healthcare system too #it has been left to languish for years/decades with funding freezes and cuts #and private companies are quick to jump in and get the government stamp of approval to do [thing] that the public system clearly can't do #when [thing] would absolutely be possible if it was actually funded and/or staffed #so many communities were cut off when greyhound closed up shop because there's no government inter-city transportation #we lost internet/banking/cell service/etc nation-wide because one of the big three decided to push an update to live without redundancies #and it bugged and took the entire company's network down #even the government agency that demands major companies have a backup on a different network was taken down because they ignored that #and they got a deal if they kept their backup with rogers while their main network was also rogers #so they couldn't even make an emergency statement or anything about it #half my province also lost all digital infrastructure because it's a private company and making a redundancy line would mean smaller bonuse #it's just so bad #joke all you want about how canada is nice and friendly #but you are wrong and it's hell if you actually live here #the only reason canada is seen as nice is because it's hard to not seem like the better option when the us is your neighbour #and because of decades of pr work to make canada seem friendly and nice and not at all problematic #in some countries you actually have to try to hide you're canadian because of how much we colonize and the damage we do to other countries #yes these tags have derailed from the post but ugh #i take major issue with people who insist canada is nice and has never done anything wrong

Day 4 of 90 - Oh, My Quad

My quads!! They sore! I woke up this morning and instead of feeling like my legs were back in working order (which is what I was aiming for when I stayed home from the gym and did ab & back focused pilates yesterday), instead now my abs and my quads are sore. Especially my left quad, but that's to be expected due to aforementioned leg muscle atrophy and such.

So now I have a choice to make - ignore the soreness and go back to the gym? Or continue to stay home and do more pilates?

I googled it, and results from my cursory search seemed to indicate that working out while sore is not a bad thing (and can actually be a good thing because it increases blood flow to the affected areas) as long as your soreness is minimal enough that you are able to workout without injuring yourself. So, off to the gym I went.

I forgot to weigh myself before I had consumed anything this morning, so I ended up weighing myself after breakfast (oh well). The number was 152.7 lbs. Given that I'd eaten and drank a good amount of water prior to weighing myself, my guess is that a solid baseline is probably around 150 lbs. Which is about 5 lbs heavier than I was expecting, but it's not a big deal either way. We'll see how that number fluctuates as I continue exercising, but like I said, I'm really trying to not focus on weight this time around, since it's not a great health metric/indicator for me.

HOW I FELT

Surprisingly, not too bad. I actually felt better after I had worked out, soreness-wise, but that may just be because my limbs were all warmed up at that point. We'll see how my muscles are feeling tomorrow.

I got tired again around 1pm. Maybe I'm not eating enough now that I'm expending a lot more energy. Or maybe I just need to drink some tea in the afternoon or something.

EXERCISE SESSION

Elliptical, 10 mins, 0.5 mi, mostly level 4

Block C PT exercises

Treadmill, 15 mins, 0.6 mi, incline 7 - 10

teeny bit of weight-lifting for arms (10 lb weights in each hand, only 1 set)

I might need to get a foam roller. Rolling out my muscles should help with the soreness.

MEASUREMENTS

Chest: 36.5"

Waist: 31"

Hips: 40"

Left bicep: 11"

Right bicep: 11.5"

Left thigh (3 inches down): 21.5"

Right thigh (3 inches down): 23"

Weight: 152.7 lbs

BMI: 24.5

Measurements are the same, as to be expected. Waist is half an inch smaller but that probably has more to do with how much / how little water I drank beforehand than any real change in waist measurement.

the chapter songs in Alan Wake 2,, flawless

#they deserve more love and discussion #saying this while also not knowing what to say other than they’re so fucking good #alan wake 2 #i think it’s partially because poets of the fall’s tracks are iconic so of course they’re in the spotlight (as deserved) #but also the CHAPTER SONGS. them being made for a given chatacter(s) with the help of Sam lakes poetry #the changes with ‘this road’ by Poe with every Alan chapter. becoming more distorted and revealing lyrics and the spiral #the scratch song being 1) hilarious and 2) similar to Zane’s poetry in the aw1 arg #the emotion in superhero when saga feels lost at the story making it so Logan was gone #the lines of her feeling like a ghost in this story forming around her.. how she feels guilty and absent for both what the story’s doing #and being away from Logan because of her job. ashdhhhhjhh my heart #AND. follow you into the dark HAS to be alice. which kills me because at for at I thought of Alan #but no. Alice jumped in the dark place after him. it’s so !!!!!!!!!!! #the rabbit hole line. Alice spiraling deeper and deeper into a dream—into wonderland #the Lost at Sea one is also good. intrigues me. the Bowie and Lynch references are blatantly aw2 Zane #but it’s so similar to diver Zane and the ‘originals’ death. being lost in the dark place with illusions of escape #and losing any sense of identity. whether he’s real at all or the monster of this sea or just a lost soul. #the soft and calm vocals / instrumental really makes the whole thing #NEED to stop typing more tags because this is a Lot. however. #‘no one left to love’ is also a phenomenal song and one of my favorites from the album. GORGEOUS vocals and how it all flows together. #such a powerful and beautiful way to end a chapter #anyway that’s all I had to say :) #god. I’ve started to watch a few playthroughs of the game and 90% of people have skipped the chapter songs and every time im #that’s fair but my brain and soul might implode if I don’t see anyone else talking about how good these songs are

[fullscoreshenanigans]

do you know where to find all the tpn official arts outside of the manga? I also want to know where to find the artbook content so I was wondering

I'll have to open this up to @1000sunnygo but my understanding is Art Book World is *the* quintessential collection of TPN art outside of Demizu's character birthday drawings and other pieces on twitter created post-2020 (I have a little incomplete collection of them in my Posuka Demizu tag, with these being my personal favorites of the trio).

Highly recommend purchasing if you have the means and access, not only for the art but also the insightful interviews.

All the art is sourced and divided into sections based on the source.

(Volume 13 frontpiece rough. 🥺 And the volume 14 cover rough is very cool.)

If you're looking for the original raw covers of WSJ featuring TPN, here's a link to them on WSJ's wiki.

If you mean the promotional anime art that typically is put on clear files and turned into acrylic stands, as far as I know no one has ever compiled them all together in one single-page gallery for browsing outside of online shops selling them. (My small tag of it is here.)

On tumblr there's @just-like-playing-tag's compilation lamenting how TPN Committee can't be bothered to understand Emma's character and preferences because marketing that she's a girl takes precedence.

Offsite, the closest you'll probably get is TPN wiki's collaboration page listing, though as I've mentioned before don't confuse tlieilt_625p's art with official promo art. I still have no idea why their stuff is in the wiki gallery pages; it just serves to confuse more people.

For example, the TPN x Princess Cafe collaboration:

Their style is insanely close to the official art on a quick glance, but the heads and limb lengths and widths are a bit off.

My favorite promo collaboration art is probably with Megane Flower glasses (cute comic focusing on it by @kewstiny) just because I'm always a sucker for characters who normally don't wear glasses wearing glasses and vice versa, but also for reasons addressed here.

We are ignoring that Gilda, Sonya, and Vincent would have been more fitting for this promo because they aren't as recognizable for marketing. ��🙏 Fucking crying over Emma either gluing or duct taping the frames to her face or just like...holding them for the shot vkldlf

Honorable shoutout to this collab though

Whippin' this out on a date like "relax, babe, I got this"

#tlieilt_625p's fanart being in there drives me up the wall #1) it's not official and 2) JUST FUCKING SOURCE FANART I hate seeing reposted art without credit #I'm assuming that's why tlieilt_625p deleted their twit because so many people kept stealing their stuff and reposting 🙃 #which is why from the bottom of my heart I fucking abhor pinterest #my experience on there is 10% of fanart is sourced #90% throws caution to the wind because lololol who cares about all the work the artist put into it 🤪🤪 #FSS Asks #FSS Chatter #The Promised Neverland #Yakusoku no Neverland #TPN #YnN #TPN Merch #TPN Promo Art #TPN References #The Promised Neverland Art Book World #Full Score Trio #tlieilt_625p #Yuugo #Norman Minerva #Emma #Norman #Ray #Long Post

i have a lot of issues with jjk in the recent years, but i do think the culling games colonies were enjoyable and fun, and that the character development and exploration tends to get overlooked. watching shibuya animated really made me realize that, even though i love that arc, it’s more about the chaos of that single day—the characters put in bombastic fights, power reveals, the villains’ plans set in motion, introductions of major plot lines and characters. kenjaku sealing gojo, yuuji’s entire fight with mahito, and toji’s second death were great emotional moments, but i like that chapters after the arc and in the culling games colonies make more time with self-reflection.

maki’s complicated relationship with her parents and sister, and her moment of enlightenment. panda’s familial bonds and having to say goodbye. yuuta discussing with uro and ryu on what’s meaningful in their lives, love, and the increasing pressure of being strong. yuuji’s overwhelming guilt and hatred of himself reflected in higuruma’s own past and thoughts, with him trying to spare yuuji from that blame. megumi trying to save tsumiki and yuuji, but inadvertently making everything worse, spiraling into killing others, and drowning in despair, when he’s the one who has to be saved. uraume’s funny relationship towards sukuna and kenjaku. kenjaku’s motivations unraveling with their desire to find something beyond their limits in a chaos they cannot control, and killing their friendships.

There’s more than that, but it was when I finally started to really love some of these characters, even ones we’ve known from the start of the series

#the hakari kashimo fight was just cool though not much else to say #I’m stopping myself from rambling more on this post but the moments between maki and kamo (and his past) was also great #same with yuki and choso (until she died😔) #jjk spoilers #jjk manga spoilers #i was the sole culling games enjoyer of the jjk gc i used to be in 😭 #not like I didn’t have my criticisms in this arc either #there’s just a lot I do like about it and I think most of the battles are just fun to read on the page #90% of my major issues are from recent (1-2 years) chapters 😭😭 #culling games #also I consider the post shibuya-colonies chapters to be the culling games arc #and sukuna taking over megumi and the gojo fight to be its own thing/a shift into other arcs #this isn’t some analysis post just being a little positive rn #with my recent complaints lol
