Alison Sweeney gave birth to her second child, Megan Hope, on January 12. Two weeks later, she was back at work on the DAYS set looking pretty darn svelte. "I had different symptoms with my second pregnancy." she says. "I had morning sickness for more than six months and it was really bad. Some days, all I could eat was cereal. I went through Cheerios by the box. But knowing how you're going to have to work to get yourself back into shape afterward, you're a little more careful, so I didn't gain nearly as much weight the second time." As the host of THE BIGGEST LOSER, Sweeney has learned a thing or two about getting back in shape. "I tried to stay active and stay with my workout plan, but having two kids, its a lot harder to get back in shape because your time is cut even more in pieces," she notes. "Plus, I'm working two jobs and I was only working one after Ben [who is 4]." Just at the time she realized that she needed to find a way to incorporate a home workout into her plan, she was approached by EA SPORTS Active to use their EA Active 30-Day challenge on her Nintendo Wii. "It's been the total savior," she says. "I'm able to do it at home, and I don't have to get a babysitter and I can include Ben in it. It has a lot of fun, active choices and is a good distraction from the 'chore' fo working out. It's been awesome. I do it as often as I can, which is like four or five days a week for about a half hour." She also hits the gym. "Bob [Harper, BL trainer] said to me the other day, 'I haven't seen you in spin class lately,' and I said, 'I'm comingg, I'm coming.' So there I was on Saturday morning and interestingly, biking next to Vanessa Marcil [ex-Brenda, GH]. I had just had the baby four or five weeks earlier and she couldn't believe I was there." She's also watching her diet. "At DAYS this morning, one of the crew guys, Jay, brought in these lemon miniature muffins that he made that looked absolutely scrumptious," she smiles. "Probably when I was pregnant, I would have had one without even blinking, 'cause I would say my biggest weakness is home-baked goods. I am not tempted by candy bars or anything prepackaged like that, but when someone makes something from scratch, its very hard to walk away from. So today, I said 'Nope.'" Having her second job helps, too. "It's a nice little reminder every week of what commitment does and how successful you can be when you work at it," she notes. "And there are no excuses." |
| Do you remember what she told him? She took her lover’s hand, and she said, “just because something is intangible doesn't mean that it's not real.” Lucas, no matter what happens, no matter what we’ve been through, no matter what I say, you will always be in my heart. -- Sami Brady, November 2007 | |

Yup, that's like the 5th interview I've seen in a week. Ali is back and better than ever (with a cute new baby). |
