Lately, everything is exhausting.

Is it because there is a global pandemic? That probably doesn’t help.

I have ulcerative colitis (my GI doctor originally thought I had Crohn’s) and one of the biggest change I’ve noticed is that my energy levels are much lower than they were before.

That makes my job as a trainer and instructor very interesting.

When I get asked how my workouts are going, I can’t help but feel a little bit of guilt and shame and even sadness. I love lifting weights but I haven’t been able to move much besides walking my dog.

The thing is, working out takes up most of my energy reserve for the day and I barely have enough to be a functional human being for most of it.

I baked some cookies the other day before work and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to survive my work day.

I am currently working on finding that balance in my life. I still want to move my body but that will look differently for me and that’s ok.

I didn’t write this post so that you pity me for my situation. I wrote it to raise awareness. Before you judge someone (or a trainer) for the amount of exercise they do or don’t do, remember that everyone’s situation is different. You don’t know if someone is working 12 hour days, has 3 kids at home, is struggling with mental health, has a chronic disease or a combination of all of that.

The #noexcuses rhetoric is damaging. Let’s encourage people to practice self-care in ways that work for them. Not what society expects that self-care to look like.

And if you’re dealing with low energy due to chronic illness, mental health or other. You’re not alone 💛 you are doing enough, even if our capitalist society tells you otherwise.

Low spoons = bath android 🛁🤖 It’s been about a month since I was in the hospital for a bad colitis/gastritis flare. I’m feeling a lot better and starting to be able to eat some normal things here and there. But I’m still easily drained 🥵Been really trying to pace myself at work. Hope to be able to get back to playing dress up and having fun soon. Hope all Holograms are hanging in there 🫂Things have been intense every month of this year. Breathe deep into your belly and roll yourself up in a blanket if you need to. ★彡

Anyone else have a dog that is so much more than a pet? 😍 • • We adopted Denali when he was just 2 years old and within 2 months we found out we were pregnant with Jude. He knew WAY before I did. He went from being attached to my hubby to following me around 24/7 and snuggling up to my belly. I just thought I became his favorite... but no, it was Jude that was his favorite. 😅 • • We got asked so many times if we were worried how he was going to react to a baby, but literally from the second we brought her home (swipe right) he knew she was ours and that was his new sissy. 🥰 • • He alerts me when I’m gonna flare, sits with me in the bathroom when I’m prepping for a colonoscopy, lays on top of me when I’m having anxiety attacks, and of course paws at me when he wants pets. 😝 • • He’s nine now and I know our years are getting limited but just looking back at the last 7 years with him by my side I can’t imagine him not being a part of our family.❤️ Love this doggo so dang much! ❤️❤️ . . . . . . #crohns #crohnie #husky #huskiesofinstagram #crohnsdisease #crohnswarrior #crohnsandcolitis #crohnsawareness #colitis #ulcerativecolitis #ibd #ibdawareness #ibdwarrior #ibdsuperheroes #dogsofinsta #spoonie #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior #adoptdontshop #autoimmunedisease https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3KgqDjagT/?igshid=1s0ssxwowm8lo

Before my baby turned into a not-so-attractive monster. I plan on remaking my tama soon.
