"Unlike many of her Hollywood peers, new mom Sara Rue isn&amp;apos;t on the fast-track to shed unwanted pregnancy pounds one month after welcoming daughter Talulah. In fact, the Malibu Country star tells Us Weekly she&amp;apos;s putting her workouts on the back burner and opting instead to bond with her baby.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I feel ashamed of Hollywood for that pressure they put on women. It&amp;apos;s awful,&amp;quot; Rue, 34, told Us in January, mere weeks before Talulah&amp;apos;s Feb. 9 arrival. &amp;quot;I fight the conflict that I have in my own brain over that every day about baby weight and it&amp;apos;s the last thing you should be thinking about. Some women give birth and then two weeks later look amazing. I don&amp;apos;t think I&amp;apos;m going to be one of those women, and I&amp;apos;m okay with that,&amp;quot; reasoned Rue. &amp;quot;I just want to be a good mom, I don&amp;apos;t really care about having a hot bod.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe actress -- married to Kevin Price since 2011 -- famously lost 50 pounds in seven months with Jenny Craig and ran a half-marathon before her wedding, but tells Us she&amp;apos;s taking it slow and easing back into her workout routine post-pregnancy. One mommy must-have that will make her slim down easier when she&amp;apos;s ready to work out: A jogging stroller that came courtesy of Rue&amp;apos;s Malibu Country costar -- and Talulah&amp;apos;s honorary aunt -- Reba McEntire.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Reba threw me a baby shower at work, it was really fun, and she got me a jogging stroller, which I&amp;apos;m very excited to try out,&amp;quot; Rue told Us before giving birth. &amp;quot;I was a big runner before I got pregnant and I had to stop running. I was telling her how last year I had done a half-marathon and this year I&amp;apos;m barely making it around the block -- it&amp;apos;s kind of sad. So she bought me the jogger.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nRue may not have laced up her sneakers as often as she would have liked during her pregnancy, but she still kept active -- by setting up a DIY nursery for Talulah to come home to! &amp;quot;We did it ourselves, and I was very proud!&amp;quot; Rue explained of her daughter&amp;apos;s room, which features a mint green and pink color scheme with a giant tree stenciled on the wall as a centerpiece. Says the new mom, clearly impressed with her undertaking: &amp;quot;Once you delve into that baby world, a whole new world opens. The amount of cute...sometimes you can&amp;apos;t even handle it!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
