1. She Prioritizes Fitness
Lucy makes fitness a priority. “I think the more things you try and the more active you become, the more confident and comfortable you become with yourself,” she told People. “I’m much happier, my mood is better when I’m consistently working out. I’m just one of those weirdos who likes working out. I really enjoy it.” "I do a lot of strength training because I like to feel strong,” she added to Shape. I'm 5-foot-2, but I like to feel like a badass and to know that I could kick someone's ass. So I do pull-ups and do squats with the big-boy weights. I even flipped one of those big tires once. And I just discovered Pilates. My butt has never been higher, and my abs have never been stronger. Our bodies are so amazing and resilient, and we don't give them enough credit. I spent much of my teen years and early 20s not loving my body and not being good to it. I'm trying to make up for that because we get only one body. We have to take care of our temple."

Lucy works out with a trainer, but also takes classes. “[My trainer’s] the one who’s forcing me to try pull-ups, so every couple of days we’ll try to do more,” she told People. “But I also like group fitness. I think that’s a way you can see your friends and break a sweat but still have a good time. I do things like Soul Cycle and Training Mate. I love to hike.”
3. She Is a Pescartarian

Lucy avoids all meat and poultry but eats fish. “I mainly follow a pescatarian diet,” Lucy dished to People. “I don’t even like to say diet, just a pescatarian lifestyle. I don’t do dairy and I try to cut back on processed stuff. I typically like to prepare all my food so I know what I’m getting.”

Lucy usually eats very healthy, but dines out and indulges. “I love going out to eat. I’m not going to say no to French fries or pasta if it’s there. I just try to eat in moderation,” she dished to People.
5. She Is Obsessed with Breakfast

"I think about breakfast all the time," Lucy confessed to Harper’s Bazaar. "I like all the meals, but I think breakfast is definitely my favorite. But my breakfast can vary from a peanut butter, Perfect food bar to chocolate chip pancakes, with bacon and eggs. Just kind of depends on the day."
6. She Intuitively Eats

Lucy is all about “intuitive eating,” she told Shape. “If I'm craving chicken, I'll have chicken. If my body is saying, 'Don't reach for the doughnut,' I don't reach for the doughnut. If my body is saying, 'You deserve a doughnut,' then I'll do it. But I'll never give up coffee. I'll never give up my lattes or bread. There was a phase in my life when I didn't eat bread. What the hell was I thinking?"
