had the most stressful day 😭

having my first drink in two weeks this evening (champagne) for a special occasion (sunday) it’s also sam's birthday tomorrow so i guess that counts too 😌

me when i see another fuckin chain letter style post in my feed (disappointed)

great workout today!

🥰

we are NOT doing 'post x or bad y' on here i stg. instant mute!!!!

just had my second thanksgiving dinner in three days and i'm not even american

legs and back! so naturally here is a picture of neither

never thought i'd be the person who got nervously excited about lifting weights but here we are (sat waiting for pre to kick in for legs/back)

hound station

hit a few PBs but didn't feel like i'd worked out hard enough until i got back from walking atlas and now my entire upper half is sort of fizzy. so i guess actually i did ok. outtake photo from earlier to incite interest and also show off my shoulder valley 🤓

overheard the best thing ever at work this week; 'turkey mince is just boy kibble' 💀

friday workout done

one thing i've learned about my body amidst all the upheaval recently is that the effort i put into a workout far outweighs the volume i achieve. i can easily get away with 1/2 sets if i lift heavy and hard enough

did back today but i'm not allowed to post back in november so here is this instead

jesus this cold is RELENTLESS. i have gone from waking up with a headache to feeling fine and working out to having a sneezing fit to my nose running non stop to feeling absolutely fine again to now being laid up on the sofa with another headache, immense sinus pain and the sneezes.

had a great workout despite still being full of cold but i forgot to take a photo because i was so excited about my protein shake

A spot of Berlin shopping

my favourite household chore (low effort) is running the dishwasher when it's empty with a cleaning product in it, after manually cleaning the filter. the pleasure i get from this far outweighs the effort.

legs and back today which also functions as cardio, cold is dissipating, waist receding

pears + chocolate = s rank dessert

❤️ (pls excuse my stupid laugh half way through)

apologies to the people who told me not to but i did, in fact, lift weights whilst sick today (at home tho i'm not out there spreading this blight)

nothing worse than seeing yourself in the google meet camera when you're sick. i'm basically transparent

update on my cold: worse annoying because today is weights day. do i resort to the 'head rule' (mind out the gutter) and do it anyway since so far it's just my head that has been destroyed but not my chest? stay tuned

haven’t had a drink for a week, been lifting weights and hitting some PBs, eating like an absolute king + making sure i hit my protein goals, and yet - i have the worst cold. my sinuses feel like hell. what did i do to deserve this

i often proclaim that we have a ~normal~ diet and eat ~normal~ things but we just had poached quince for dessert and i don't think people do that

it's so crazy to me how my whole body changes after just three days without a drop of alcohol. it's like being run through a full body glow up filter.

atlas in his house pyjamas because we haven’t turned the heating on yet and i insisted on getting a dog that would absolutely not survive a single night outside (though, to be fair, he would absolutely murder a squirrel or a cat if he had the chance)

impromptu wfh day so, self-care workout

oh i did a back workout today but since i'm not posting back in november you'll just have to take my word for it 😌

for a very brief period of time after my workout today, i had ~the bicep vein~ in my left arm and the dopamine this gave me 🥲

Friday night, I’m going back to bedddd

great workout today

i already considered myself a sade fan but FUCK ME this song is insane

i'm approaching 40 & having a routine-interrupting night out on tuesday has royally screwed my energy levels this week (when did i become adult?). i had a great time but BOY am i tired. i am, however, really looking forward to my workout tomorrow (new pre arrived 😈) & i have no plans this weekend 😌

my leg hair is incredibly sheep-like and i don't know what to do about it

such a long week 🤯 but i have a g&t and we're listening to sade so it's all good

i didn't post this yesterday because i was overwhelmed but isn't this jacket nice

i have an event later but i still managed to get my workout in 🙂‍↕️

being missed by a hound >

Chonk

doing big consequential house things (moving everything around, and then subsequently, the absolutely giant death trap mirrored wardrobes in the hallway) after a workout and a dog walk, on a sunday, when my alarm is set for 5:45am tomorrow is NOT the one.

no flex just trash

arm day

.

ps this is how i dressed today, in november

i just KNOW that pre-workout supplements are pointless and yet, i ran out a few days ago and all my workouts have been trash so i am submitting to the capitalist machine and just re-ordered (totally different brand/flavour obviously because how can i know what is best without sampling everything)

imagine just being like a photogenic fitness enthusiast and then you just spend your days working out and like, being fit on camera for money
