Other than that omg I still have so far to go and so much to learn feeling it was a good session. After a busy week today's focus was light technique work plus heavy accessory.

I'm 80 sessions and 8 months into learning olympic lifting with a coach. Which means I now know enough to aware of all the flaws I have in technique and it feels like being back to day 1 some sessions.

Today's socks are pink socks. I love training at weekends. To have time without rushing onto the next thing is lush. Personal best yesterday in overhead squats. I really actually like overhead squats, might do a couple today. #workout #fitover50 #fitmenopause

Anyone here into:- Olympic weightlifting? Buying pointless but cute blind boxes? Horror movies... especially spooky ones? BMTH and want to give me new recommendations? Being 40/50 something but with the mind of a badly behaved teenage boy? Wanna be friends?

Today's training socks and top coordinate. Bloooooooo. No hospital appointments today thank f**K. No helping my son clear out the hoarding issue. Just olympic weightlifting and 1 client. Then getting polynucleotides under my eyes. Might ow #workout #olympiclifting

Today's training socks. Super tired. But there's no sign of blood or lymphatic cancer. The CT showed a breast lump we didn't know about. Biopsy results from the breast lumps she had tested last week this morning. Time to beat the brain demons back with a barbell #workout #olympiclifting

Today's socks and workout outfit Won't be going for any PBs today, today's Olympic lifting is purely to quieten brain demons. We get the results from my daughters CT and other tests today and honestly I'm beside myself with worry #workoutthreads

Personal bests this morning in both Snatch and Clean and Jerk. Still have a huge amount to learn and work on technique wise. But yey me #workout

Today's olympic weightlifting sock and t coordination #workout

Today's knee high sock and top colour coordination. Cream socks and brown top. Yes I have a home gym, yes I still coordinate my outfit 🤣 #workout

Well that's the brain demons quietened for a little while. #workout #olympiclifting

I'm waiting to be told I'm a meanie, in my experience the people who share their "expertise" very quickly pull the victim card when called out.

When you try and take your mum out for a lovely meal and your dad starts joking to your husband about how he can "meet pretty Italian girls" on his ultra in Italy. More than once. My dad thinking it's funny to suggest that my husband can meet "pretty girls".

If you come at me with this shit on a post I made about my daughter's genetic disorder for rare f**king disease day. You get blocked no questions. Don't care who you are. #yogateachers you are NOT doctors or genetisists. STAY IN YOUR LANE. My god !!!!!

I don't normally talk about this stuff on here but it's #rarediseaseday My daughter has PTEN harmatoma tumour syndrome. She had cancer aged 10. She's never really been well since. She's had more biopsies and lumpectomies than I can remember.

Yo bluesky, after 7 million days of grey skies in the north of England show me your blue skies from wherever you are. I think I've forgotten what the sky looks like without clouds

What is it with the current "Unpopular opinion but ...." At which point they state the most dull vanilla, commonly held thought in the history of man. It's like the online version of that person you meet who insists they are "super wacky" and "omg so crazy and wild"

Oh my days after yesterday's heavy olympic lifting session (heavy for me) my body did NOT want to get up at 5am for yoga. Body was like "But it's a rest day" Brain "Yes but a slow Ashtanga primary series keeps our old knees and elbows up to lifting"

Advertised as a hand carved statute, price listed at over £40 the description below states "made of resin" You can't "hand carve" resin. The exact same resin statue is available on AliExpress for £4. If you see an ad on socials reverse image search to check it's not drop shipped

I bought a lurid green swimsuit. The 80s vibes are major. This is my best 80s power pose, the back I love because it shows my Scarab. I also bought a bikini because people on the internet keep saying women over 50 shouldn't wear them. So 🖕to that. #fitover50 #agingdisgracefully

@teamquimby.bsky.social thank you for the share!

Anyone here who lives in or near #Priovac or #split in #Croatia and would be willing to give me a few Croatian lessons while I'm on holiday? The ideal would be a little daily (depending on price) I've picked up a few words but would like to learn properly while on holiday. Please share this ❤️

Also arrrrrrrggggghhhhh

You ever have a day where you are just so fucking fuckitty fucked off at every fucker and his fuckfaced face? Asking for a friend?

I'm trying to use Chat GPT to create slides and I can confidently reassure you that the world is currently safe from our AI overlords.

One of the interesting things about living in my entirely nuerodivergent family is it's taught me to never expect compliments on my appearance. Occasionally I accidentally seek external validation. Then mammothly regret it. Note I says "my family"

This photo has been flagged as sexually suggestive. It's a belly 😂

Meta supports freedom of speech. Unless you hold a different opinion to the Christian conservatives. Then there's no freedom of speech for you! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/t...

Love a shadow in the morning

Watching a female Christian priest essentially scold Donald Trump in a venue where he can’t bully or bullshit his way out of it will be my favorite thing for a long time

The United States is no longer a friend to Canada. Under Trump, USA is a big, bruising bully. Canada must stand up to the bully & work with the European Union to develop alternative trade & defence arrangements. Reliance on USA during the Trump regime is too risky for Canada.

Not quite as horrifying pale as when I arrived in Morocco!

Bloody heartbreaking. I'm so sorry my American friends 😭

I have a question for you lovely lot to settle a convo I was having with my husband. Fyi self identification neurodivergent is of course included Are you Neurodivergent and if so how many hobbies do you have? Are you Neurotypical and if so how many hobbies do you have? #adhd #autism

Asked an AI to create a sketch of the pilates position "The Hundred" This is the hellscape it gave me. Before anyone suggests it 1. No I can't draw. 2. No I can't afford to hire an artist. I'm a self employed one woman band. I run my own website, write my own content, make the ads

I'm still here though

I'm going to run a bath as close to the temperature of lava I can get it. Then maybe I'll stop feeling cold

Duddo 5 Stones a few miles from me, one of my favourite places nearby. Approximately 4000 years old. Caught by a local photographer "Northumberland Adventures" Just beautiful

Little bit of muscle showing through! Old lady gains for the win

I'm not as confident about me middle. But for 51 and creating 3 humans (all adults now) it's not that bad! #oldladygains #weightlifting

Anyway in other stuff I took some shameless photos this morning as I'm happy with how my training and diet is going. Happy with how my body is behaving for 51 years sprightly

I don't think I remember what it's like to be warm

If you gave me a follow recently and I haven't followed back please give me a nudge. Unless your page is clearly a sales page or extolling "ism" ideals. In which case it's a no from me 😘

Can't get past the paywall for this but I'm assuming that "acting their age" will be the same old stuff which generally involves stopping doing the things we enjoyed our entire life and taking up knitting and other such things. 1/4

Unless in a cafe while having coffee

No one owes you anything, including their attention

Her eyes need cleaning but she won't talk to me for 12 hours after

Seems accurate. Yes I'm British, laughing at ourselves is a good thing and a way to grow! And before anyone asks yes I think *insert object* should be given back or maybe a system of sharing items of historical importance should replace the current *zoink ours now* cont
