So, my IBD is definitely back with a vengeance. Nowhere near my worst, but I forgot how exhausting, nauseating, uncomfortable and draining it is to have such a flare up. Fuck IBDs🖕 #ibd #ulcerativecolitis #crohnsandcolitis #crohnsandcolitisuk

The theme of #CrohnsAndColitisAwarenessWeek is #HowDoesItFeel

This is my response two days in.

Day 31 of 31: I finished with 33 minutes of yoga this evening. The cats were overwhelmed by my efforts! I hope I've done a little bit to help raise awareness of hidden conditions like Crohn's and colitis. We have raised over £700 for #crohnsandcolitisuk by doing the #BigWinterWorkout

Day 30: in the office today and did a 36-mib walk. We also made vegan treats to thank everyone for helping us reach our fundraising goal. My daughter told me my chocolate beetroot pie looked like a cowpat but people at work were much politer! #crohnsandcolitisuk www.justgiving.com/page/ellen-c...

Day 28: an hour at public skating this evening. Practised my forward and backward crossovers whilst dodging the double peril of wobbly beginners and speed skaters. #crohnsandcolitisuk #BigWinterWorkout

Day 20 of 31: Monday = Fitsteps, fitted in between work and a committee meeting. Thanks to my lovely teacher Alison for having her photo taken with me in my fundraising shirt. Thought I'd share a news story from the #crohnsandcolitisuk crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/news-stories...

Day 17: It's the end of the week, so was hard to get started today. I tried FitnessBlender, recommended by a colleague, and did a 32-minute cardio workout. #BigWinterWorkout Watch 'It takes guts to talk about Crohn's and colitis' video from #crohnsandcolitisuk youtu.be/TG4srmK_WDU

Day 15: Another yoga class today - 55 minutes at lunchtime. Busy first class of the new year. #crohnsandcolitisuk #BigWinterWorkout

Day 14: more yin yoga today and more yoga/cat photos. At one point she paused the video on my touch screen laptop! #big-winter-workout-31-31-challenge #crohnsandcolitisuk Thank you to the Crohn's sufferers who have followed me here.

Day 8 of #BigWinterWorkout 60-minute yin yoga session which was both slow paced and hardcore! I reckon I'll ache tomorrow... no photo this time, just a cats gif.
