Thaila Skye

I’m deleting Twitter from my phone. After seeing so much negativity, nastiness, bitterness & hate on here, I’m making a proactive decision to step away from this toxic platform. I’m not sure how long for, but I am sure that I don’t want or need that shit in my life right now.

Farewell, Twitter. (See pinned tweet.) I’ll be on Instagram instead: IBD & stoma life: 💜 instagram.com/ThailaSkye #crohns #IBD #ostomy #stoma Daily life: 🧡 instagram.com/thailainthesky #vlogging Fitness journey: 💚 instagram.com/thailagetsfit #fitfam #ActiveOstomates

Me: *dozing in bed* Stoma: Um, my bag’s full. Me: But I’m comfy... Stoma: But if you empty it then you can go back to bed and get comfy again. Me: 🙄 Stoma:🥺 Me: FINE. Me: *gets up and empties bag* Me: *settles back into bed* Two seconds later... Stoma: It’s full again. Me:

@MikeAndNuisance Oh I’d love to be able to do that!

@ThailaSkye One of my aims is to be able to unassisted pull ups. Before op last year managed ONE. The feeling of all the muscles working in sequence was a revelation. It'll be a while before I can do it again.

I lifted it. Woooooo. 🥳🏋🏻‍♀️ (Starting off with just the 20kg bar and nailing my form before adding any weight.) Today was squats, bench press and row. #ThailaGetsFit #stronglifts5x5

@MikeAndNuisance Deadlift is my favourite! Straight-legged more than RDL for some reason. I just love the feeling it gives me in my hamstrings.

@ThailaSkye Eeek. The only comparison between us is squat & benchpress. Deadlifts fill me with shivers... I'm sure lower back will die. Currently squat is with 14kg (3x10) held at chest. Not back on benchpress yet, but will get PT to prioritise! Main aim is bone density & posture.

@MikeAndNuisance This is what I’m doing: stronglifts.com/5x5/

@ThailaSkye I must look up what 5x5 is... 😅

@Arfaan11 That’s why I’m being very cautious - hernia vest, building up correct form with low weight and making sure I do proper breathing and bracing.

@ThailaSkye Are u prone to getting a hernia around your stoma with lifting? Xx

@MikeAndNuisance Oh it’s on!

@ThailaSkye OK, OK... Competition is now on... I'm not on weights properly yet, still getting core & scar on form after time off. Just you wait.... 😅

@DoctorOstomy Yup - the hernia vest from @VBlush!

@TeamColostomyUK #ActiveOstomates 👆🏻

@MikeAndNuisance @JoeShanahan @runfitsarah @VBlush @CarolineBramwel Also check out @Zoeywrightx and @JGreenly!

@JoeShanahan @ThailaSkye See @runfitsarah @vblush, @CarolineBramwel and many more. Can be done if careful & managed. I've got nascent hernias so trying to be careful. @runfitsarah has published a great book that includes starting up your core & pelvic floor...

I’m starting a 5x5 weightlifting programme this evening and ermagherd I can’t wait.

@caroclem58 I have the @VBlush hernia vests 🥳
