The plumber was a good guy. He had is son with him. It must be spring break. This was a good looking teenage boy, maybe sixteen.
They were both easy to deal with, and they were patient with our four dogs. We talked quire a bit, considering the circumstance. He said water heaters last about six years these days. But I noticed, after he had to come back... And he also had to run back for an unexpected part, earlier, he was really stressed. People are really stressed right now. That's my point, and I mean, really!!!!
I have seen my living room colors in several commercials. Teal and red? It must be a new trend... Right?
My coach put this highlight reel together of me from my meet on Sunday. I am just over the moon about it 🤩. I feel better now and I’m back in my gym doing accessories mostly, this week. Let’s get this!
@allie120 I'm glad your coach helped change your perspective of the day! Do you have Moon/Pluto/Uranus in Virgo in 1st house, and are you Virgo rising?
@sophiab Thank you! It was so good having her there, and my husband helping me, too!
Yes, I do that that Uranus Pluto moon in my 1H in Virgo. Virgo rising. I have Mars there in the 1H, too but it’s at 27 Virgo .
@allie120 It's what I thought of when seeing you lifting the weights!
Also I thought of Renee Zellweger, she has Pluto, Uranus and Jupiter in Virgo (and Virgo rising) and she does a lot with her body that is kind of next level.
Plus you have the Virgo rising vibe. How to describe it, sort of sweet, modest, awkward combo, something intangible. I have Virgo rising so I learnt to recognise it in others.
@sophiab Oh that’s really cool. I like how you’ve tapped into this.
Virgo rising: librarian type, with a twist. A twist of what… I don’t know 😄
Thank you! 😊
@sophiab My coach has some big plans for their gym. She wants to do seminars/camps for youth (they can start at age 8), women, seniors. I told her I’d like to see if my granddaughter would be interested, as she will be 8, and also I would be there. My coach would love for me to help with all of these. So that’s great!
I also love to help people with this, when they want help, some basic foundations.
@sophiab Thank you! It was so good having her there, and my husband helping me, too!

@allie120 hey, from what I can tell we have similar placement. I think I squatted maybe 160 in my hay day haha
@allie120 thank you, it was a while ago. My weight is 120 ish, and it was just guided by my Bf lol
@elsa Thank you! She did good by me and really talked me through it. The energy is so fire there! And that guy in the crazy get up is Geno, well-known and loved MC in the powerlifting world.
This is fantastic!
Even if you occasionally don't surpass your very high goals, never forget how few people ever do anything even remotely like this!
@warped You’re right. Thank you! It is wonderful to see people, all people, doing all kinds of cool things!
Those were my first and second squat attempts and I think I’m really proud of my second squat, 92.5kg/203.9 lbs. I did that for my third attempt last meet and fought for it, but made it. This time it moved better. So that’s progress! I want more lol
Daaaang, Allie you are a powerhouse. It's really amazing what you have accomplished within yourself and within the sport. Boundaries be damned.
I love the way the whole thing is such an example of the positive side of Pluto! You take ownership of your own power in a healthy and positive way. It's a strong and beautiful message. It lifts me up and makes me think l am capable of something more.
I think we forget the impact that coaches (and mentorship in general) can have in the lives of others. Knowing someone has your back through highs and lows in a bond such as that and to invest in the skill and confidence of another so fully and unselfishly does change lives. So glad you have that coach and your husband there for you. Congratulations!!!
Seems worth repeating:
