It's Sunday and there is no football (the ProBowl doesn't count). Someone bring back baseball, please.
#SelfCare - Sunday recovery day. Really enjoying my added #yoga practice once a week, jacuzzi, and steam room. I feel like it resets my body and mind for the week ahead.

#SelfCare - There is a voice in the back of my head which tells me to stay on the couch but then I make sure I always go through my nightly stretch and recovery routine.

I want to go see a movie. What do you suggest?

While #diet and #exercise are incredibly different for everyone with #IBD and any #chronicillness, if the right personal plan that works well for you is put in place, it could be a #lifechanger!

It can feel counterintuitive, and it can be difficult for patients to get over the initial activation energy hump, but exercise, sunshine (sometimes hard to come by in Michigan), and good sleep hygiene can help a lot! #IBD #CCCongress20 https://twitter.com/GIdietitian/status/1220814979915505667
Saturday morning means my last workout of the week and one I always look forward to. A little swim and a little spin goes a long way to keeping my mind right with #chronicillness.
I can honestly say I'm very happy cuddling my dog right now instead of going out. It's just better for me right now. #chronicillness

It's Friday and I'm happy about that. The weekend has arrived.
#ChronicIllnessLife - Sleepless nights crush potentially good days. The #brainfog is serious today and while it would be easy for me to beat myself up about it, I’ve accepted that this will happen. Some days will be more productive than others with a #chronicillness, period.
#ChronicIllnessLife - There will always be people that doubt you. Take those doubts and let them fuel you.
I was told that I couldn't be an Ironman. That it would be impossible. Then I heard the words "Brian Greenberg, YOU ARE AN IRONMAN" from @IronmanVoice.

#SelfCare - My mornings are my time alone to start my day they way I want to. Don't let anyone get in the way of making sure your day is heading in the right direction.

My dog is my life and makes me feel better every day. #chronicillness
One more day. One more day. One more day.
If I can change one thing about my #chronicillness, I would change nothing. It's made me the strong person I am today.

I've been making #smoothies for 2 months again now and I think they are really starting to help my #chronicillness.

#ChronicIllnessLife - People who don't understand will always say things to you that will be #upsetting.
I always get told I look skinny or that I lost weight. It always gets to me because I constantly battle to keep weight on.

My #chronicillness doesn't define me. I define myself by how I handle it.

#OnTheBlog Living with a chronic illness means always living with some level of fear.
