I've tried stomach crunches, the Tupler technique (stopped when I figured out I don't have a diastasis at all), next is taking up running. If I am meant to not have my pre-baby bod, that's okay, I just wanted to give it a fighting chance. I'm 95% there. |

Drink 8 glasses of water a day.
working on this. I thought that staying hydrated would be good for my skin, but guess what? It's not! Water is good for your health, but you can't moisturize from the inside out. |
