## Caption

What I’m doing instead: 

•Giving myself permission to pause: if you’re like me, that’s so hard to do, but life will still be there when I feel ready 

•Healing Smarter, not faster: there is no gold medal for jumping right back into my workouts before I’m ready. My body is HEALING and no workout or exercise can rush that.

•No thanks, crunches: I’m Holding on traditional ab exercises to reduce intra- abdominal pressure so i don’t worsen my diastasis recti.

•Listening to my body: i won’t push through pain, heaviness, bleeding, leaking, or significant discomfort.

•Avoiding high-impact: I love them, but high-impact exercises (like plyometrics) can wait. Instead, I’m walking and doing gentle stretches.

•Social media can suck: I’m muting any accounts that are showing me how to get the perfect “snatched” postpartum bod. It’s fake news.
