The <em class=\"italic\">Real Housewives of Orange County star<\/em>, who has chronicled her weight-loss journey on the show, told <em class=\"italic\">Us Weekly<\/em> that this season she really ramped things up, and it started with an unexpected wake-up call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Simpson said the shift happened after she wrapped filming last season and then shot <em class=\"italic\">Wife Swap<\/em>, when she saw photos of herself standing next to a pig on set. \u201cGirl, you\u2019re about to turn 50. You need to get your act together,\u201d she recalled thinking. So she walked into the gym and stayed there. \u201cI\u2019ve been in the gym seven days a week for like two hours a day, nonstop,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cSo I turned 50 in the best shape I\u2019ve ever been in, so I was very proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Simpson is quick to say the gym time was not the whole story. \u201cI did take a GLP-1, so I always want to be honest about that,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I don\u2019t think that you can transform the way I did with just that. I also spent hours and hours and hours lifting weights in the gym.\u201d It\u2019s a distinction more stars have started making publicly: that the medication can help, but the muscle still has to be built the old-fashioned way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">She\u2019s also not big on the word motivation. \u201cI know a lot of people say, \u2018How do you get motivated?\u2019 But for me it wasn\u2019t motivation. It was just, it\u2019s more about dedication,\u201d she said. Her advice for anyone starting their own transformation: \u201cJust do it.\u201d She added, \u201cIt\u2019s a journey. You have to just, you know, think 12 months out, not tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emily Simpson is opening up about how she got into the  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2367,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2366"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
