A new Mo'Nique! The 45-year-old Precious actress has dramatically changed her lifestyle with intense, daily workouts to get in shape -- and it's paid off in a big way.
In a new interview with The Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg Show on New York's Hot 97 FM, Mo'Nique explained that husband Sidney Hicks was the one who encouraged her to change her habits. "It made me say [to myself], 'OK sis, you got these babies. The twins [Jonathan and David] are 7, [stepson] Michael's 9, Shalon's 22.' And I want to meet their babies. So, I said, 'Let me stop being selfish, and eating everything.' And I ate everything . . . I was a food junkie."
Now, the Oscar-winning actress has been documenting her daily workouts in pictures on Twitter, and writing inspirational messages in hopes that others will join her. "We can always get a quick fix. However what will be the long term effects," she wrote Wednesday, May 15. "Do it naturally, benefits . . . PRICELESS." Mo'Nique mixes up her workouts by lifting weights, running, doing yoga, playing basketball and other activities. She also documents on Twitter that she's taken a minimum of 10,000 steps, and done 50 sit-ups per day.
Mo'Nique, winner of Best Supporting Actress award for "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," poses in the press room at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards held at Kodak Theatre on March 7, 2010 in Hollywood, California.
