For most of the dinner recipes I go to Skinnytaste.com.  The recipes are generally healthy and so delicious!  They are a staple in my family's dining at present.

For the workouts keep in mind I have diastase recti and am following a routine to help heal that. Essentially my stomach muscles have separated, so says my midwife and need to heal. I avoid planks, sit-ups, and a few other exercises.  You can youtube it to find out more.

I am using the Mutu system.  It is measured by finger lengths and I am currently beginning week five.  There has been a 1.5 finger closure so the system really works.  I am trying to use most of what I know from the Mutu system--only deli meats are not used in the system, but I have been craving sandwiches.

Remember this is my plan. If I find it too much, I will skim back. This is about protecting and building my beautiful self.
