Jessica Alba opens up about impending motherhood in Lucky
... but magazine opts out of showing pregnant photos

Like any expectant woman, an 8-months pregnant Jessica Alba has motherhood on the mind and is discussing it in her cover story for Lucky magazine.

Curiously however, the magazine opted only to use photos of the actress before she was pregnant and spend a significant chunk of the interview asking her what she plans to do to lose the weight that they so clearly didn’t want to show.

The internal photos, which look to be almost a year old, show Alba in a series of figure-hugging dresses. The cover shows the star looking svelte and boasts an interview that discusses her “nudity and hating diets.”

Inside, she offers up quotes on slimming down after the birth of her first daughter and how she plans to drop the pounds after her second child with husband Cash Warren.

“I have a hard time with portion control, so I have 1,200 calorie meals delivered,” she tells the fashion mag. “But I also work out, so basically I’m starving—it sucks. I drink a lot of water.”

Then there was talk of her post-baby workout:

“Working out every day for even just 45 minutes is good for my mental state. But getting (dressed) and actually doing it is the worst. It’s hard to get motivated.”

And then there were questions about her favored distractions at the gym:

“In the gym, I have like five things to distract me: TV, iPod, magazines. Working partners are good, too, so you can chat and not just drown in your own misery. Sorry, does that sound bad? I just hate working out.”

Anyone else noticing a pattern here?

Jessica Alba on pregnancy fitness: Yoga, fruit, water and a tight girdle

Jessica Alba, who lamented that pregnancy ruined her body, wears a girdle from the moment she gives birth until two to three months after delivery.

“I wear a girdle around my tummy from the moment I give birth until it doesn’t feel loosely-goosey anymore—that takes a good two to three months," Alba, 30, says in the September 2011 issue of Lucky. "It’s spandex with Velcro.”

Yoga, Fruit and Lots of Water

The 5'6" Latina stunner, who says she'll never be as skinny as she was pre-pregnancy, stays fit by doing yoga, being active and drinking lots of water.

"Prenatal yoga is really good," says Jessica, who's expecting her second child with husband Cash Warren. The couple already has a daughter, Honor Marie, 3.

"I have a bad back and bad knees and it really prepares your body. The more limber you are and the stronger you are, the easier your birth. And isn’t that what everybody wants?”

Alba, who's hailed worldwide for her sexy bikini body and exotic good looks, makes an effort to eat well and stay hydrated.

“Drink lots of water and stay active," Jessica advises. "I like cucumber-strawberry water....[and] watermelon, cherries, strawberries."

45- to 60-Minute Cardio & Weight-Lifting Workouts

Alba says taking time to pamper oneself is also important to help you relax.

“Pamper yourself, because once the baby comes you’re crazed for a long time," she says. "So if you can, indulge, whether it’s getting your nails done, or getting a facial, or just spending an extra five minutes to feel pretty in the morning.”

While Jessica insists she's not worried about losing pregnancy weight quickly, it's likely she'll regain her taut pre-baby figure in no time, thanks to her strict dieting and workouts.

Jessica's exercise regimen (when she's not pregnant) typically consists at least 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical trainer, stationary bike or treadmill four times a week combined with light weight-lifting and yoga.

"I try to work out every day for 45 minutes to an hour," she has said. "I start out on the treadmills or elliptical machine for 10 to 15 minutes to get my heart rate up to 180 beats per minute. Then I do 50 lunges and crunches.

"Next I get back on the machine for another 10 minutes. Then I work on shoulders, biceps and triceps. I do that nonstop for four sets. When I work out, I have energy and feel good about myself."

Jessica Alba's Diary of a 'Spy' Mom -- Take 1!

I want to start this post off by thanking iVillage for the opportunity to guest blog on your site for my "Diary of a Spy Mom" blog series. I am writing a few entries about the film and the parallels to my own life as a working (and very pregnant!) mother. Hope you enjoy these.

Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D (which opens on Aug. 19) is my first foray into a true family film. I wanted to do something my 3-year-old daughter Honor could watch. On top of that, the opportunity came to me at a perfect time in my life from a thematic point of view, something I think many moms reading iVillage can relate to: the idea that we're stretched so thin in our daily lives as mothers and how to achieve balance -- if there is such a thing, LOL.

While shooting Machete, our second film together, director Robert Rodriguez came up with the idea of a new Spy Kids film. We discussed, among other things, the challenges of going back to work after having a child, which is very much a theme for my retired Spy Kids mom character. But Robert will credit Honor's exploding diaper on the set of Machete as having really sparked the lightbulb for the return of the Spy Kids series, LOL. After that incident, he began to write my role for a new film and a new set of spy kids, played amazingly by newcomers Mason Cook and Rowan Blanchard.

Trying to work, be a mom and wife and do it all perfectly with a smile is tough as heck. In fact, it feels nearly impossible sometimes. As much as I try to prepare and have everything planned out, there are moments where I haven't packed enough outfits, toys, snacks, pacifiers, burp cloths or some other necessity to avoid baby meltdown. And Honor will vomit, poop, pee or some combination, and I'll only have one diaper left. I'll make do with a diaper and a blanket, but I feel like I look like a bad mom. No matter how prepared you are as a mom I've found that you're always going to make mistakes. And most crushingly, I always feel like I should be doing more.

We had a lot of fun incorporating some of these themes into Spy Kids. (My character) Marissa is a first-time mother with two stepkids who are very critical of her and a husband she barely gets to see because he's always working. She tries desperately to please them all. I think she's relatable to moms who are trying to do it all and want it to seem like everything is going according to plan. ;)

One of my favorite scenes was shooting the action sequence where I'm on my last mission before retiring to be a full-time mom. I'm full term and going into labor in the midst of a chase sequence where I have to save the world -- ONE LAST TIME -- before throwing in the towel. It's obviously silly and light and not showing the "real" side of active labor, but I got a kick out of waddling around with a big (fake) belly, kicking butt.

Jessica Alba's Banning Her Kids From Hollywood Until After College

Jessica Alba got her first big break in Hollywood when she was just a tender thirteen years old, starring in the Disney flick "Camp Nowhere." Her husband Cash Warren also works in the entertainment industry as a film producer. But the pregnant Alba absolutely does not want her daughter Honor Marie, 3, nor her future offspring, to follow her child star footsteps.

"I was a child actor and it worked for me, given the circumstances I was in, but I'm lucky enough to give my daughter and my second baby a completely different life and an education that I never had the opportunity to have," Alba told FOX411's Pop Tarts while promoting her forthcoming family film, "Spy Kids: 4D," which hits theaters August 19. "When they're done with college, if they want to get into the arts, that's fine. I think you will be a better artist the more life experience you have, but I wouldn't encourage them to work in this type of environment as children."

Alba said part of the appeal in getting onboard Robert Rodriguez's "Spy Kids" franchise was being able to make a film that she could actually allow her daughter to watch.

"I was definitely excited [about doing] a movie that my daughter can see, for sure. That definitely inspired me to do this movie in particular," she continued. "But it's not like I only want to do family and kids movies from now on. It's just nice to have one that my daughter can watch."

Alba's character Marissa attempts to balance her roles as a secret service agent and a stepmom, but so far, in real life, the work/life balance hasn’t been Alba’s forte.

“It’s hard. On the weekends is when my husband and I make a concerted effort to just not email or text, but really spend our time with our daughter and be completely, 100 percent focused on her," Alba said. "During the week, it’s here and there, depending on if I am busy with meetings or not. It’s a little bit different now, because she’s in school. It is tough, because I do care about my career. I do have that, but she’s my number one priority. If she’s not doing okay, nothing matters.”

And as she awaits baby number two, Alba is feeling a little more accustomed to her ballooning belly and the ins and outs of pregnancy.

“It’s not as scary or daunting. It’s definitely less uncomfortable,” Alba said. “There’s nothing bizarre about what I crave. It’s watermelon, really. I could have watermelon at any moment.”

And as she expands her family, Alba is also focused on expanding her empire.

"I'm working on developing a TV show and a movie idea. I'm also working on a baby brand," Alba revealed. "I'm used to working on sets almost 12 months out of the year; I did that for 10 years. Now that I have free time, I'm expanding into different areas."

There is however still one on-screen childhood dream Alba has yet to fulfill.

"I lived in my head a lot as a kid, which is probably why I wanted to be an actor. I was sick a lot, in the hospital by myself," she added. "I spent a lot of time wanting to be Superman. That was one of my obsessions."

A female Superman? That one may take a few more meetings.

Jessica Alba's Diary of a 'Spy' Mom -- Take 2!

For the second entry in my "Diary of a Spy Mom" blog series for iVillage, I wanted to write a little more about the elusive balance between work and family.

I'll start by saying that I don't think I have or ever will achieve a perfect balance -- I mean, who can? I feel fortunate that I'm in a position in my career where I don't have to work as much as I used to. When I do work, I make sure that it's time worth spending away from my family: taking jobs where I'm genuinely passionate about the material and excited to collaborate with the actors and filmmakers involved. And HUGE BONUS: I am lucky that I am able to bring Honor to work with me. Her days revolve around her nap -- for now, at least -- and she spends a lot time hanging out with me in my trailer. I create a makeshift playroom with a Pack 'n Play for naps, I have lunch with her and spend all my down time with her.

We shot Spy Kids in Austin, Texas (where director Robert Rodriguez shoots all his movies), and our apartment wasn't far from set. Most nights I was able to make it home in time for bath and bedtime reading. There was also a great children's museum, and the Whole Foods headquarters in Austin has a playground that Honor LOVED. It was a great experience overall, and if I have to be away from home shooting a film, there's really no better place than being on a Robert Rodriguez film in Austin, Texas. Because he’s a father himself, there's such a family vibe to all his films.

In terms of day-to-day balance, our primary uninterrupted family time generally happens on the weekends, like most families with parents who work during the week. It's during those times where (my husband Cash Warren) and I decided that we need to step away from work completely -- no emails, meetings or texting -- and devote our undivided attention to Honor. It's important to us to not be "half-present," which can happen when you're still in work mode. It's something I learned from my mother and father, who at some points in my life growing up held down three jobs each. My brother Josh and I never felt like we were neglected or came second because when they were around, we were treated like we were the only thing that mattered to them and we always felt unconditionally loved.

For Cash and me, it's a never-ending, ever-evolving process to find moments where we can connect. It can be challenging enough to keep connected amidst the normal demands of life without children. To bring kids into the mix makes everything a lot harder and more complicated. We work at staying open and communicating. Most nights, especially lately, we have time with just each other (after we put Honor down). We don't do anything major, just make dinner and talk about our day or watch TV together.

As far as what we do together on the weekends, well, we're creatures of habit. No adventures involving saving the world -- just a lot of time spent swimming, going to the park and having barbecues.

Jessica Alba's Diary of a 'Spy' Mom -- Take 3!

So, as you may or may not know, I'm pregnant with my second child. I'm often asked what's different this time around. Here it goes:

CRAVINGS: I have a fierce, insatiable craving for watermelon. I dream about it. No, seriously, I really do.

EXERCISE: I'm doing prenatal yoga and taking 30-minute walks through my last trimester, which is more than I did with Honor. And my belly popped much quicker with this one. I have a bit more discomfort that I don't remember having with my first, but I am toting and keeping up with a 3-year-old and still running around a lot -- so I have been blessed with some saviors: an ahhhmazing chiro named Dr. Takahashi and my yoga teacher, Aria. I thank my lucky stars for them.

WEIGHT GAIN: I've banned my loving husband from cooking a half a pack of bacon every morning and ordering or buying five desserts for dinner every night. We both put on a lot of weight the first time around and made a pact this time to eat better.

NURSERY: When we had Honor, we had everything prepped and ready to go -- and not just for the initial newborn stage. We had a couple of stages checked off following that: probably a typical case of over-preparation. Right now we're renovating our home to make room for baby No. 2, so we're in a rental and we're nowhere near the stage we were at when I was pregnant with Honor. And you know what... that's okay. It turns out, the first five months Honor was in our room anyway in a co-sleeper, so I'm not too stressed about being overly prepared and having everything set up perfectly this time.** Kinda just going with the flow.

Really, our attention is with Honor right now, more than anything. She's aware that there's going to be a big change. The new baby is gonna cry and go to the bathroom and want to be fed -- that's kinda what they do in the beginning. We're really dedicating as much time to making Honor feel as special as possible and a part of this new adjustment in our lives.

**Side note -- I am soooooo excited about eventually getting to the new nursery! I love design blogs and it's nice to see nurseries where people don't replicate a store display. I aim for an eclectic mix of furniture found at flea markets, Etsy, and my fave baby brands with an emphasis on non-toxic materials. I'd like to do a "before and after" blog post down the road some time. I'd love to know some of your fave design blog sites that I should submit to!

Jessica Alba's Diary of a 'Spy' Mom -- Take 4!

I think Honor is excited about becoming a big sister. She's getting into this stage now where she gets to do big kid stuff -- and we try to make a big deal out of these little things.

We talk about how impressed we are that she doesn't have to have her fruit cut up into small pieces anymore and gets desserts like cupcakes and ice cream. She gets to go potty in the toilet and doesn't have to wear diapers anymore. She gets to have a lollipop or gets to chew gum as a special treat (as long as she throws it away and doesn't swallow it!). She can ride a scooter, and she can sit in a big-girl swing.

So I emphasize all these awesome things that she gets to do that the baby won't be able to do. And she gets excited about having someone in the house that's younger than her, who doesn't get to do all these awesome things either (hee hee).

We talk about how cool it will be to watch her younger sibling grow, and she will show her sibling how to do everything she can. My parents got her this sweet book called Big Sister, which is one of our bedtime books. Oh, and we also tell her that the baby won't be able to play with her Barbies or American Girl dolls. Of course, it's a safety issue, but Honor loves the thought that, for now, they're only her toys. Little does she know when she gets older she's gonna have to share... I guess we'll tackle that one when the time comes!

As for me, I'm excited, nervous and ready. I've seen my friends who have multiple children, and seeing siblings love on each other is just the sweetest thing ever. Although I fought with my little brother a lot growing up, we were best friends, and I'd take vengeance on anyone who hurt him -- especially his feelings.

The idea of loving someone as much as I love Honor is something I haven't wrapped my head around yet. But I know I will and I can't wait. As a mother carrying a baby we get to bond while the baby is growing -- reaching each milestone, feeling hiccups, kicks, rolling around. It's the blessing I think we get for all the round-ligament pain, sciatic pain and frequent trips to the bathroom...

I'm signed up at three mommy sites that update me daily and weekly on the baby's development, which is probably a bit much. But it's a nice break from the day to check in with the baby, because, like everything else in life these days, time flies.

15 Latinas We Love!

NAME: Jessica Alba

AGE: 30

ROOTS: Mexican-French-Danish

WHY WE LOVE HER:

Playing a racially ambiguous superhuman in James Cameron’s Dark Angel turned Alba into a 21st century action hero capable of blurring race, gender and class lines while burning up the small screen.

No habla español? No problem! Though she wasn’t raised speaking Spanish at home in California (Alba’s grandparents José and Isabel deliberately chose not to raise Spanish-speaking children in 1960s America for fear of being marginalized), Jessica is learning the language and instilling cultural pride in her three-year-old daughter Honor and newborn baby, Haven.

Family is numero uno for this supermom, who makes the switch from diaper duty to the red carpet appear effortless. No wonder she inspired Robert Rodriguez’ latest film, Spy Kids 4: All The Time In The World!

This eco-chica also runs a green household—the synthetic grass in her Los Angeles home is made of recycled materials, for one—and is committed to making the earth a cleaner place through her upcoming collection of sustainable baby and lifestyle products, called The Honest Company, scheduled to launch soon.

ON LATINAS IN HOLLYWOOD: “There [are] a lot of really strong, really cool, completely dynamic women that are Latina that young women can look up to. I love that because I certainly didn't have those role models when I was growing up and it's nice that I'm part of this generation. So I feel very honored and blessed to be in such good company for sure.”

Jessica Alba Sues "Belly Bandit"

Jessica Alba is suing the company behind a popular weight loss device for women who've had babies -- claiming her name and likeness was used, without permission, to push sales of something called a Belly Bandit.

In the lawsuit, Jessica says the company has "prominently featured and posted a photograph of Alba, and listed her name under the 'Celebrity Testimonials' section of their Website."

According to the suit, Belly Bandit's packaging even features an endorsement that says, "Jessica Alba's #2 Secret for a Fast Post Pregnancy Slimdown!"

Jessica's suing for more than a million dollars in damages -- and also wants a cut of the cash Belly Bandit made using her name.
