Road to Recovery Week 2!

I've been wearing my abdominal splint (Tupler Technique) for Two Weeks Now. The exercises are coming along. However, I find myself not doing as much as I would like. My girls keep me busy and drive me crazy half the time. When I do remember to do them, it's towards the end of the night. So, I end up doing most of them all at once. It's prob. not recommended, but I feel more of a burn when I do them that way. Even if I am only doing half of what is required, I am still seeing huge results. That's good, right? I just washed my splint for the first time. Don't worry, it's not gross. I don't sweat much and I am usually wearing a tank or Spanx type clothing. I washed mine on hand wash cycle with small amount of detergent. After it's done, it's still quite damp. You can either wait for it to completely which means 4+ hours w/o your splint. If you are going to do that, try to find some type of Spanxs to secure your abs. That seems to help in the mean time. Needless to say, I didn't want to wait. I put the splint in the dryer (it does say no dryer under care). I used the setting "air dry"until it was somewhat done. Then I put it in for 5 or so mins on low heat. So far so good! Anyway, enough of me rambling about boring sh@#. Here is what ya'll have been waiting for. In two weeks, I've lost 5 inches around and I am still at a 1 finger gap. If that, b/c it's pretty tight. So, maybe half of that. I've been told that a 1-2 finger gap is considered closed : ). Lets take a looksie, shall we?

Dressed with splint underneath. Side view. See how tall I am? Maybe I can say that I am 5'3 this time lol?

Another cute bikini shot with tummy relaxed. New Hair? Yes, cut, color, and highlights! Check out my waist. It's much smaller. Scroll down to see the results from last week.

I am still not going out in public, but I am willing to show all of you. Look, I have curves!

Side view. My muscles are moving back in place. There is a difference from last post. My tummy was slightly lower. Now, It's much higher : )!

Flexing my abs! My skin is looking tighter. Still flabby, but it's getting there.

Relaxed tummy on my back.

See? One finger gap! It's barely in there.

Flexed tummy on my back (partial sit-up). Where did my belly button go? It's hiding like a turtle lol. The last post, my belly button looked like a pigs nose. Kewl, huh?

Since the last two weeks...three weeks really since I have posted about Diastasis of the Recti muscles. I have had over 800 HITS! WOW! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This truly means a lot to me. I hope I can help and guide those who want to do this or at least look into it. Feel free to follow and leave a comment or two.
