Today has been a cry fest for me. I’ve found that I do in fact have Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation) and it is pretty bad. So bad that I can actually place 4 fingers between my ab muscles and if I turn my hand I can grab them.
So what does this mean for me? It means that I will more likely than not never have a flat stomach with out the help of surgery which is not covered by insurance. This also means I am not able to do this workout completely because I cannot do the ab exercises with out making the DR worse. So yeah I’ve been crying. I don’t really want to be walking around for the rest of my life looking like I am pregnant. It’s so not fair.
Have I given up? No I haven’t. I’m still going to do the parts I can. Do I feel good about not giving up? Yes, but I’m not going to lie and say I’m not so completely and absolutely disappointed.
You did such an amazing job modifying the routines and not giving up. I’m proud of you.
