1. She Believes In Balance

When it comes to her diet, Rimes eats pretty healthy. However, she also believes that a healthy diet includes some indulging once in a while.

"It’s all a balance."

2. She Loves Tea

Rimes is a big tea drinker. She tells Women’s Health that she makes her own iced tea when the weather gets warm. "Now that it’s getting warmer outside, I’ve also been brewing Leaves and Flowers Van Van Tea and putting it on ice," she explains. "It tastes exactly like Fruit Loops, so it’s refreshing and kinda fun."

3. She Eats Healthy Meals

Rimes tells Women’s Health that she usually heats up last night’s dinner for lunch. She also says that those leftovers are pretty healthy.

4. She Enjoys Sweet But Healthy Snacks

Rimes tells Women’s Health that she likes to enjoy a treat after dinner. However, she makes sure to choose a healthy option. “I am a bit of an after-dinner snacker," she says. "Barnana Dark Chocolate Banana Bites are my favorite treat, and I love an apple with a little peanut butter."

Rimes struggles with psoriasis, which means her skin can dry out easily. “Moisturizing has always been a big deal because of that,” she says to Today. One of Rimes’ favorite moisturizing products is Jose Rosebook Vital Balm Cream. "Of course with me traveling all the time, my skin can dry out very easily, so that keeps my skin super hydrated."

1. She Meditates

Rimes loved chanting so much, she released an album called CHANT: “The Human & The Holy. “As I started meditating I started chanting and singing. And as I felt what was coming through needed to come through and felt good, I would press record on my phone and get it down, then expand it from there,” she told Forbes. “Chanting became part of my journey in learning to take my own voice back,” Rimes explains. “I feel like so much of it has been given away outwardly, but I’ve never really used this incredible instrument I have for my own healing.”

2. She Has Boxed

“Boxing is one of the best workouts you could possibly do. A two-minute round doesn’t sound like much, but when you’re moving constantly and throwing punches, it wears you out. And boxing workouts really build up your stamina,” she once said.

3. She’s Serious When Working Out

You won’t find Rimes goofing off in the gym. “I’m serious about my exercise. I don’t just doodle around. I see people at the gym talking on their cell phones. If they think their bodies are gonna change, you’ve got to put in the effort!”

4. She Believes in “Nourishment”

"Nourishment usually looks like high-quality, healthy, whole foods, but sometimes nourishment is the cake, the chips, the pizza, and the mac and cheese," LeAnn tells Women's Health. "It’s all a balance." She told the magazine she usually eats leftovers for lunch, for example. "Our leftovers range from mushroom and poblano tacos in almond flour tortillas, to smoky white bean and greens soup, to a delicious chicken and veggie stir fry," she explains.

5. She Has Faced Down Her Anxiety and Depression

“I think it was the biggest gift I’ve ever given myself,” Rimes told Forbes about checking into a clinic to help with her anxiety and depression nearly a decade ago, “to recognize when enough was enough and to ask for help. It was the beginning of the past eight years of my life, of allowing myself to open up in a different way, and really shift myself into a different headspace.” If you need help, don’t hesitate. “I began confronting things I ran away from,” she says, “from the time I was a child, just to survive in the public eye. Growing up the way I did, with all eyes on me, it has taken time to really connect with my true self. As the daughter of parents who divorced at 14, at the height of it all, I had to shut it off to be able to thrive and contain my work. So, when I decided I wanted to change the way I was experiencing life, it led me on this journey.”

Read on to see 5 ways Leah McSweeney 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 Loves To Box

McSweeney revealed on the Bravo podcast, The Daily Dish, that she loves to box. She even says that boxing has helped her prepare for all the drama and craziness of being a Real Housewife. “I mean, it’s such a psychological and mental strengthening exercise. It definitely helped me prepare.”

2. She’s Sober

In an interview with Yahoo Life, McSweeney revealed that she was sober, and had thought about making the choice to do so for a while. She said that the pandemic and lockdowns helped her make the choice to get sober. "I realized that it was gonna just go so dark so quick," she says. "…It's very hard to drink in a light and fun way during a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic when you’re stuck at home, and people are dying everywhere. So yeah, I think that that kind of definitely put it in a full-speed stop."

3. Her Take on Fame

“I’m kind of the same [since becoming a Housewife]. I’m the same, but my life is a little different. It doesn’t feel like anything is different, but I know it is. I am still shocked that people recognize me. I always think that it’s someone I know when they’re looking at me and they say, ‘Hi’—like I know them from somewhere. Obviously, I think the show gave my life a boost. I needed a little boost and that’s what it did. I will say that I am a lot busier than I have been in a while, but all good stuff,” she told NewBeauty.

4. She Has a Book Coming Up About Mental Health

“I think that one of the best parts about being on the show has been being able to reach people and to have conversations about different topics, like mental health,” she told NewBeauty. She was diagnosed with bipolar II. “I was stunned when it got brought up on the show. but in hindsight, I’m so happy it did. My book”—Chaos Theory: How to Embrace the Unexpected and Find Meaning in the Madness, coming out in April—“it’s going to cover a lot of that stuff, too. I feel like we have been in a collective mental health crisis…our world is upside down on so many levels, but I think that the conversation has been brought to the forefront. There’s still so much stigma around it, though. I think we still have a long way to go.”

5. She Has Done Anti-Workouts

“I just started posting these little work out videos to help me motivate myself to work out,” McSweeney, 37, told Page Six. “I called them ‘anti-influencer’ workouts because I am not a fitness influencer nor do I care to be.” These “non-workout workouts” involve yoga poses, too. “I’m not a professional,” she told us. “I’m just a regular chick trying to not let herself go during the quarantine.”
