While some might suggest Jessica still has a ways to go, she has lost a considerable amount of weight since giving birth to her daughter Maxwell. Maxwell was born a whopping 9 pounds 13 ounces. That'll hurt anyone's cooter. Jessica's ads for Weight Watchers should be coming out this month and has already turned a lot of fans off. The ads for now will only show Jessica from the neck up. That to me says that Weight Watcher's is not happy with her progress thus far. In her defense she gained 65-75 pounds during her pregnancy. That is a huge amount of weight to gain especially since the norm is around 30-40 pounds. Jessica had her baby via C-section so she wasn't able to jump on the treadmill very quickly. She stated that she wanted to do a diet that was more of a lifestyle change since she has yo-yo dieted in the past. Her fitness role model is another Jessica, Jessica Alba. I find Alba to be some what of an alien. She is just way too perfect and gets back into shape within nano seconds of giving birth. Jessica Alba has even said that she will starve herself if she has to to get back into pre baby shape. Not a great role model in my eyes but to each his own.
For more realistic goal setting mothers, Jessica made a great statement "After you have your baby it's like, 'Oh my God, what happened to my body?' This is not me,. It would be nice to feel comfortable in a bikini, but that's not my goal. I just want to fit into jeans!"
So you ask, how did she lose 40 pounds thus far? By eating small portions frequently throughout the day. She's also sticking to a high protein low carbohydrate diet. Doesn't sound like rocket science to me.
7 a.m. - Jessica wakes up and feeds Maxwell, then has breakfast: half a flat-bread sandwich with egg whites, peppers and fat-free cheddar
8 a.m. - Simpson walks up to an hour a day, trying to get at least 14,000 steps on her pedometer. Afterward: a snack of berries, bananas, melon or grapefruit.
11 a.m. - Four days a week, Simpson works out for 45 minutes with a trainer doing a combination of cardio and circuit-training exercises such as dumbbell triceps extensions, hamstring curls and crunches with a medicine ball.
1 p.m. - Jessica, 32, eats lunch of spinach salad with 4 ounces of chicken satay and pear.
2 p.m. Simpson walks again outside or on the treadmill, then has a berry smoothie.
6:30 p.m. Dinner of fish (4 ounces of halibut or tilapia) with roasted eggplant, broccoli or asparagus. Low-fat ice cream for dessert.
10 p.m. Bedtime.
