Just a little up-date but my up-date is not on anything new 
I'm still on my break and am in the middle of my 3rd week. I am missing the gym soooo much! I finally finished car shopping this past Wednesday, but my sleep schedule went WAAAY off whack because of it 
After car shopping, I continued to fall asleep immediately after work, not waking again until 3 or 4am. So obviously I have not done any cardio! But now that I have had the weekend to catch up and the holiday is over, I will start tomorrow. And I will be getting my camera back tomorrow (if I remember 
) so photos coming soon...
Also...
I know I am going a little crazy on this topic, but I just cannot get over how I had never heard of it before (although I have done it before) and it is so underutilized yet so effective! For those who have Diastasis Recti from their pregnancy(ies), contracting the TVA (otherwise known as doing the stomach vacuum) is the safest and most effective way to tighten your stomach wall and allow healing for your separated abdominal muscles to gradually come back together as the tightening effect pulls them inward.

Thanks so much for sharing, Anastasia! What an awesome testimony. I'm crazy happy to see someone else with success with this! I would love to see his progress photos
And yes, as effective as it is, I find the hardest part about it is just remembering to do it! 
But it's true that the more you do it, the more it becomes a habit, so this is on what I am depending!

He got to the point where "holding in" his belly was natural and normal and he couldn't like relax it and push it out anymore. I might eventually convince him to post his before and after pics on here to show you ladies what all he accomplished. I try my best to do what he did as far as holding in my belly, just gets hard to remember to do it sometimes.
