‘I did put on a couple pounds,’ she said. 

Though she quickly gathered her workout equipment to work on shedding those extra pounds. 

‘I dragged my Total Gym into my bedroom,’ she said and that in her spare time she is gardening which helps get her active as well. 

Adding: ‘Getting out and gardening is a lot of work… We’ll take the boat to a deserted beach and we’ll do speed walks or running… I’m determined to get back to my fighting shape.’

The group is doing well as Christie said ‘We’re doing very well. We count our blessings. We’re healthy and that’s what’s the most important, and then we’re together and that’s wonderful.’ 

Between Christie, and her daughters, who famously appeared in the SI Swimsuit Issue together, there are four SI Swimsuit models in the house as Nina has joined the family.
