Hello! I qualified in July 2019 but my Mam has been seriously ill. She's finally doing well, so it's time for me to stop eating pot noodles and not sleeping and get on with stuff I guess...

I've had one venue fall through for holding the classes because they started talking money and profits despite me stressing that my first and main goal is to set up a free, non-profit fitness class in Teesside.

So GOD BLESS the internet, because I asked on FB for venues who share my ethos, who might host us, and had a really warm response from a few different places! Just let us dance to the Stooges in your back room dammit!

WHEYY got a viewing on Monday for a space that is willing to let me practice in there AND host classes once they start, and it's CLASS and perfect for this madness. #shybairnsgetnowt

Oh, oh no/yes... another class venue has graciously offered to host our flailing too. They are both perfect but very different places, what to do?! This is like a psychedelic anxiety nightmare about house-buying.

I've just ordered one of these for the gym, unbelievable 👌

Maybe if I a put a cute filter on the stairmaster I'll hate cardio less? Yes. Slow horrible grinding cardio is my favourite apparently.

Solidarity with everyone else whose satisfying Spotify stats have been mangled by a) repetitively playing the same song to learn a routine and/or b) a child that hijacks the account to listen to heavy metal/baby shark etc

The only workout I did all weekend:

My first 83kg bodyweight deadlift joy face! Cheekily slipped it in at the end of a session today, so form is probably not excellent but chuffed anyway!

So BORED of being physically exhausted and wiped out by a voice-robbing virus since boxing day, but have adjusted home workouts accordingly:
