I still dunno if I’ll never drink again but I do know it no longer serves me in ANY way. I don’t get more fun, I don’t dance, I don’t get relaxed. I get sick, fall asleep and wake up sick, having missed what was probably a fun night. I had my fun with it and appreciate anyone that can enjoy it responsibly!!!!” She added this week, also referencing a scandal in which she was accused of cyberbullying someone: "I'm actually a hundred days sober today and I'm so excited," Teigen told Hoda Kotb.

Teigen spent many years as a model, which meant dealing with beauty standards and keeping a certain weight. However, she revealed to People that she’s no longer dieting. "I've lived a whole life. I've spent way too many years counting calories, scheduling way too many workouts and trying to figure out what my term for wellness was for myself," she says. "I've been trying to figure that out for so so long."

3. She Makes Time For Self-Care

Teigen tells People that she’s making time for wellness and self-care, and that she is doing things that she never thought she’d do.

She jokes that she isn’t great at meditation “because I really think so, so much."

Teigen says that she tries to get moving as often as she possibly can. She says to People, "I do love yoga and pilates now but the balance in it is really nice because it's nice to be able to kill two birds by playing with my kids and getting that activity in honestly. To me that's more fun.”

5. She Doesn’t Stress About Her Weight

Teigan tells Women’s Health that she no longer stresses about her body or her weight, and she no longer sets goals for how much weight she wants to lose. “Since I was 20 years old, I had this weight in my mind that I am, or that I’m supposed to be. I’ve been so used to that number for 10 years now. And then I started realizing it was a swimsuit-model weight. There’s a very big difference between wanting to be that kind of fit and wanting to be happy-fit.”

I had my fun with it and appreciate anyone that can enjoy it responsibly!!!!"

Chrissy maintains balance with food. "I've lived a whole life. I've spent way too many years counting calories, scheduling way too many workouts and trying to figure out what my term for wellness was for myself. I've been trying to figure that out for so so long," she told People. In another interview with the publication she revealed that she eats healthy most of the time, though doesn't always share photos of herself “at the gym or making green juice,” she said. “So I think people think that I don’t do that. But if I post me eating Taco Bell, I probably had a fantastic breakfast and lunch, or I’ve been good that entire week!”

3. She Is Active

Chrissy maintains an active lifestyle. "I do love yoga and pilates now but the balance in it is really nice because it's nice to be able to kill two birds by playing with my kids and getting that activity in honestly. To me that's more fun,” she told People. “Sometimes I’ll go two months without working out and them my trainer will be like, ‘What the hell, get your ass back here!’ And then I go really hard,” she said in another interview with them.

Teigan isn’t a fan of weighing herself. "Since I was 20 years old, I had this weight in my mind that I am, or that I'm supposed to be. I've been so used to that number for 10 years now. And then I started realizing it was a swimsuit-model weight. There's a very big difference between wanting to be that kind of fit and wanting to be happy-fit,” she told Women's Health.

5. Do Drink Juice

Teigen loves getting her nutrients from juice. "I love green juices—the ones that include lots of actual greens and don't include too much apple," she told Shape. "Because those are just meant to be yummy and we all know things that are too yummy aren't the best for us unfortunately." Green juice is often consumed for its potential health benefits, which may include improved digestion: Green vegetables are high in fiber, which can help support healthy digestion. And increased intake of nutrients: Green vegetables are rich in nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and calcium. Consuming green juice can help increase your intake of these nutrients.

1. She Eats Clean

“Every single thing that I put into my body is to nourish and fuel my body,” she explains, according to Prevention. “I’ve always felt that food is fuel so what you’re eating is going to help your body. So I don’t eat junk food, I don’t eat processed food. I keep only fresh and healthy ingredients in my home so I can feel my absolute best.”

2. This is Her Definition of Wellness

“For me, it’s about being aligned in mind, body, and spirit, and striving to find that ultimate connection between all of those factors,” she told Health. Her “wellness journey began” during season 2 of Glee, when she was hopped up on eight coffees a day and eating craft services at night. “I started to learn that the better I was eating and the better I was taking care of myself, the better I was looking and performing and feeling. From there, it just started to snowball.”

3. She Does These Workouts

Around her 30th birthday, "I also found out that I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), which is a very common condition. The side effects can be brutal—like weight gain and bad skin. I think because of my age, that diagnosis, and the fact that I wasn't working a job that kept me dancing every single day, I needed to integrate some sort of more formal workouts. I realized that I like workouts with a spiritual element—whether it's SoulCycle or hot yoga," she told Health.

4. She Knows When to Reset

“If I find there’s a moment where I’m not working my best and I can’t think clearly, I need to reset,” she told Health. “Sometimes that’s going away or going to my therapist....Other times, it’s calling my mom or sitting outside and lighting a fire with my husband, pouring a glass of red wine under the stars, and playing music. But more than waiting until I feel I need a break, self care for me is a daily practice—it’s a bath with magnesium salt, it’s doing a meditation, it’s going to yoga. I think it’s important to get something in every day to take care of yourself.”

5. Speaking of Big Days, She Had This Health Goal on Her Wedding Day

“If you’re always taking good care of yourself, and if you’re always eating right…then no matter what comes up, you don’t feel like you need to adjust or increase or anything,” she said, according to Prevention. “My goal is to keep on this great track that I feel like I’m already on, and then I know I’ll feel great on my wedding day.” Good advice for every day.
