When my original diastasis post gained traction in the land of Pinterest, I set out to find an expert. I found the delightful Wendy Powell of the MuTu System and she answered all of our questions. I presented her to you as the expert because I believe in her program, her methods, and her expertise. Many of you have returned asking how my progress is going since starting Wendy’s program. Umm….. To…
Today I’m over at Van’s Natural Foods talking about getting healthy as you start your spring cleaning. Lots of tips for your kitchen and home gym! I love everything about spring. The opening of the windows, the blooming of the trees (ah-choo!), and the inevitable urge to clean. I go room to room, organizing and purging, donating and trashing. Not only my wardrobe, but my office, kitchen and home gym…
Two years ago my health was at it’s worst. One year ago I painfully walked a 5k for charity. Saturday I finally had my comeback race. The one I had been waiting for. And you know what? It felt good. Really good. Nine of us ran, climbed, waded, dove and slid through 3 miles of dirt and mud as “Team Inspired” in the LoziLu Women’s Mud Run. We finished…

Sunday morning before the Super Bowl craziness began, Jeff took me out for my first ever “clipped in” bike ride. He got me a sweet Trek bike for Christmas, and while I had been cruising it around the neighborhood with the kids, I hadn’t taken it out for a real ride yet. A strap-on-your-helmet-clip-in-your-shoes bike ride. To be honest, as excited as I’ve been about the prospect of riding, I’ve…
Last June I put up a post called “Dear Diastasis Recti, I’m so over you“. At the time, I was frustrated with my own weak core. A result of two little bundles of joy who had previously claimed residency in my tummy. I was determined to fix the gap between my muscles and planned to do the exercises necessary to do that. Little did I know that, a) there are…
UPDATE: Diastasis expert Wendy Powell answers all of your questions from the comment section here. Remember back in June when I posted about being so over my diastasis? Well, it’s still there. Mostly because I didn’t do the exercises I said I was going to do. Yep, even fitness professionals get lazy sometimes. There was a little more to it than that though. For one, I strained my neck…
