Star of "My Name is Earl,"Jamie Pressly became a Mom to Dezi James, her first son with fiance Eric Cubiche in May 2007 and recently talked to People magazine about keeping balance between being Mom and being her own person.
Every day Jamie forces herself to take time for her. "You have to find balance. You have to make time for yourself and
find 'me' time, whether that means taking a 15-minute bath or taking
time to work out while someone watches the kids.
"My New Year's
resolution is actually to keep a balance in my life between my son and
Eric and work. If you don't, then this business can get out of
control."
Jamie lost 42 pounds of baby weight in 12 weeks: "I did it the old-fashioned way. I worked out with a trainer and
resistance weights, and I dieted. I also did the cabbage soup diet -
where you only eat cabbage soup - twice."
That's a lot of weight to drop that fast - I can't say I agree with the soup diet.
She's not quite ready for more kids yet. "We definitely want more children - just not right now. We're happy
with things the way they are, and we don't feel like we have to rush
into getting married.
"Look at Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell - they are a good example, they make it work without being married."
