“Lil sumthin for ur timeline,” La La Anthony captioned a post of her in a bathing suit on Instagram. It was nice to see—and not just because she’s beautiful. The movie and TV personality recently revealed she had a heart procedure, in an interview with Self magazine. “Thank you so much to @selfmagazine for giving me a safe space to share my story for the first time about my heart condition & why it’s so important to pay attention to your body,” she captioned the cover.

1. She Was Diagnosed With This Heart Condition

A few years ago, Anthony was diagnosed with premature ventricular contractions, a type of abnormal heartbeat. “Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). These extra beats disrupt your regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing you to feel a fluttering or a skipped beat in your chest,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. At First, She Wasn’t Too Worried About Her Heart

“I felt my heart racing all the time, but because it’s all I ever really knew, I didn’t even know that it was necessarily something wrong,” the Brooklyn native said. “I just thought, ‘Oh, you just feel your heart racing sometimes because you’re working too much, you haven’t slept, you’re stressed.’ You know, we, especially Black people, like to self-diagnose. We got all the answers,” she told Self. In fact, her tests showed she was having “about 25 percent more heartbeats over the course of the day than the average person.”

3. Her Experience Was Terrifying

“They would wake me up during the procedure and say, ‘We’re going to speed your heart up now. Just take deep breaths. Those doctors were just so incredible, but it was a terrifying experience,” she told Self.

4. She Now Prioritizes Self-Care

“This made me reprioritize myself because it’s always about everyone else and work and this and that,” she said in the interview. “And it’s like, if I’m not good, I’m not gonna be good for anyone.”

5. Here’s How She Eats

"For breakfast, I am a cereal person and always have been. I love Special K. They have so many flavors that I'm into. It's a great breakfast to get you going and get your energy up. When it comes to lunch, I love seafood. It could be a shrimp salad or a taco with shrimp with vegetables. For dinner, I love Spanish food, or a nice piece of fish with veggies. Baked chicken with sweet potato is another one. Again, I try not to go too crazy but those are some of my typical meals,” she told Eating Well. “That said, I am a chocolate fanatic. I won't sit here and make it seem like I'm this extremely clean eater that only eats vegetables. Like any kind of chocolate, I want to get my hands on it."

Lawrence is extremely grateful for everything life throws at her. And I mean everything. After her husband’s first season with the NFL, Lawrence reflected on the experience with this Instagram post.

Good memories.”

When her husband joined the NFL, Lawrence met a lot of new people. And she has found a lot of supportive friends. Lawrence posted this highlight reel on Instagram of her friend group on vacation. She captioned it, “So thankful for football bringing us together. Such a gift to be surrounded by so many amazing women and especially thankful for the time with these girls. Love y’all!! So ready for season!!!!”

3. She Has Strong Faith

Lawrence’s faith is very important to her. She talked about it in this Instagram post. “In my bible study last night, we were discussing Hebrews and talked about the recurring message in the chapters. We talked about how it shows a great example of our fathers priesthood, and it shows his consistency in caring for us. The message was written not just to teach Christians, but to challenge and grow them in their faith. During this time, he’s still on the throne. He is still in control. He still provides. He still loves. He still has a plan.”

4. She’s A Former Athlete

Lawrence, like her husband, has an athletic background. She is a former soccer player, who got the chance to play in college. Lawrence talked about her journey with soccer in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “Looking through the years I’ve played, there are so many good times. So many hard days. So many tears of both joy and hardship. I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to make me feel Loved and valued during all of this. Thank you to every person along the way who encouraged me and fought with me. Thank you to every teammate I’ve had, I cherish our memories forever. Thank you Anderson for making a home away from home for me. Thank you to all of my coaches who never stopped pushing me and believing in me.”

5. She Plays With Her Dog

Lawrence has a dog, whom she likes to play with. She shared this highlight reel of her pet on Instagram. Having a dog can make a positive impact on your life. Harvard Health reports, “There are many reasons why dogs are called humans' best friends: not only do they offer unparalleled companionship, but a growing body of research shows they also boost human health. Owning a dog can prompt you to be more physically active — have leash, will walk. Just petting a dog can reduce the petter's blood pressure and heart rate (while having a positive effect on the dog as well).”

2. She Has a Trainer

Ashanti and trainer Raheem Chatman work out together. “When I’m home in NYC, I have a trainer, Raheem. We do weight training, cardio, running. I’m kind of a tomboy and I’m very competitive so I never want him to beat me. Sometimes he has me work on mobility, other times endurance, and then we’ll go for strength. I think it’s important to mix it up and hit different parts of your body. We’ll do the Stairmaster, lots of core work,” she told Parade.

“I definitely try to do stuff when I’m not with my trainer and he’s always paying attention to what I am or am not doing though,” she told Parade. “When I’m not at home, he’ll text me a workout and I’ll try to get it done. I’ll try to do crunches and jump rope and pushups and stuff on my own. I try!"

4. She Powers Through

“I don’t always feel like working out but finishing a gym session is the best feeling,” she told Parade. “I did that like two weeks ago. I was l so out of it and I was like, ‘I don’t feel like it.’ We were in New York. It was raining. It was gloomy. It was cold. But I pushed myself and I went and I put it on my Insta stories and I’m laying on the floor in the gym and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I was so dead before I got here. And I’m even more tired now but I’m so proud of myself that I actually did the workout.’”

How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Deonna Purrazzo stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Lives in Gratitude

Deonna makes sure to take time and appreciate everything good in her life. "This has quite possibly been the busiest month I've ever had… and one of the most rewarding. My smile is a true reflection of how I'm feeling. Grateful," she captioned a post.

2. She “Claps Back” at Body Shamers

"Twitter saw this CLAP-BACK first 👏👏👏 I could go on and on about body shaming and cyberbullying, but they don't deserve the attention. But, I'll always be LOUD about loving yourself and all that you are, no matter what anyone else has to say."

3. She Hikes

When she isn’t training, you can find Deonna out hiking in nature. “There’s a lot I could say about the Grand Canyon, but it all feels too deep. In all seriousness, this trip was absolutely breathtaking. Looking out and seeing all those colors was like a dream,” she captioned this post about one of her hiking trips.

4. She Trains Hard

To keep her body in fighting form, Deonna puts in long hours at the gym. She shared a clip from one of her workouts on Twitter, squatting with incredibly heavy weights, writing “my heaviest this particular day was 215lb x 4 reps.”

5. She Celebrates Her Strength

Deonna is strong and proud of it! “Stop using the gym as a photoshoot and workout...” she tweeted alongside a photo of herself showing off her guns. “oh..... OK,” she added. "Bones lose calcium and weaken with age, but strength training can help slow or sometimes even reverse this trend. Not only can strength training make you look and feel better, but it can also result in better performance of everyday activities, such as climbing stairs and carrying bundles. Stronger muscles also mean better mobility and balance, and thus a lower risk of falling and injuring yourself. In addition, more lean body mass aids in weight control because each pound of muscle burns more calories than its equivalent in fat," says Harvard Health.
