Adams, 36, and fiance Darren Le Gallo became parents for the first time when she gave birth to their baby daughter Aviana Olea in May this year.
Talking about losing her pregnancy pounds, she told Parade.com: 'I've been working out when I can, and I'm trying to eat in a healthful way, but losing weight is not my number one priority.'
She added: 'It's part of my job to return to some semblance of what I was before. But I don't feel I've ever made my career on my rocking bod.'
Adams added that she feels differently about her body since giving birth to her daughter.
She said: 'Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body, meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit.
'I actually love my work more now, 'cause I feel if I'm going to be away from [Aviana], I'd better enjoy it. I'm trying to be more present in each moment of my life. She's taught me that.'
