Keri Russell Talks About Her Post-Baby Body

Keri Russell talks with Self Magazine just 3-months after giving birth to son River Russell Deary.

Here are the highlights:

On losing the baby weight:
"I stayed really physical during my pregnancy. I stuck to my normal pre-pregnancy workout, minus the stomach exercises and twisting. I really felt it helped my whole well-being. Ideally, I’d do Pilate's, usually on the reformer, for an hour every other day. And I walked almost every morning in this hilly park near our apartment."

On her post-baby diet:
"It’s hard to sit down and make a perfectly healthy meal with a baby who needs constant attention, so for breakfast, I put him in the sling and walk to the coffee shop, where I get eggs, toast and salad. At home, I just wolf down whatever I can find while he’s sleeping. I attempt to incorporate healthy stuff. I take vitamins, and, thankfully, I actually started liking vegetables a couple of years ago.”

On the changes in her body image since becoming a mom:
“Being less worried about the way I look. You’re just instantly less self-absorbed. Before I was in the habit of straightening my hair, but now when I have 35 minutes to myself, I want to put it in a bun and sleep, or go for a walk. ,There’s no room, no time, no energy for vanity anymore.”

On deciding to skip the Hollywood scene:
"I don't think it's so crazy that we got pregnant, then got married. Or that we're living here [New York City] and not in California. I guess more than I feel like I'm being rebellious, I like that I'm in a world where this just makes more sense."
