Lauren Goodger throws herself into a new year workout regime as she leaves the gym with a protein shake after working up a sweat

Lauren Goodger has thrown herself into a new year workout regime as she was spotted leaving a gym in Essex on Thursday. 

The TV personality, 39, cut a casual figure in a black tracksuit as she re-energised with a protein shake following her gruelling workout session. 

Wrapping up warm as she exited the gym, Lauren teamed her tracksuit with a cropped white teddy bomber jacket and sported a pair of black UGG Tazz slippers. 

The TOWIE star went makeup-free for the workout session and tied her brunette locks in a messy bun as she made her way to her car. 

Toting her workout gear in a grey Alo tote bag, Lauren completed her look with a black quilted Chanel bag, which retails from £4,000. 

Lauren’s outing comes after she revealed what a typical food day looks like for her as she vowed to get her ‘bikini body’ back.

The TV personality has been open with fans about her struggles with her weight in the past, and even previously admitted that she was ‘bored of her curves’ and wanted to get ‘really skinny’.

Revealing what her meals usually look like, Lauren explained last year that she wakes up and has a coffee because she isn’t usually hungry in the morning. 

The TOWIE star, who said she spends around £50 a week on her food shop, will wait until lunch before having a tuna jacket potato and salad.

Lauren said that for dinner, she will have something like steak with broccoli and sautéed potatoes or mash.

Otherwise, she will swap the steak for baked salmon with chilli and lemon, but admitted she isn’t ‘the best cook’. 

Speaking to Closer magazine in their ‘fridge raider’ segment last year, Lauren spoke about what she treats herself to.

She said: ‘I’ve been getting Turkish food deliveries, because it’s easy, healthy food. I’ll get chicken shish, hummus, pitta, rice and salad.

‘I don’t tend to snack. I prefer real food. I’d rather have a toastie than a bag of crisps.’

When asked about what her guilty pleasure was, she said: ‘Indian food. I can’t handle hot spices, but I love a sweet dish like a korma with rice and naan.’

When it comes to kicking a hangover, Lauren relies on carbs, which will either be a McDonald’s burger or tea and toast. 

Last January, Lauren shared a throwback snap as she expressed her desire to get back her bikini body.

As she kicked off the new year, Lauren used an old image of herself as inspiration to get back to her former look, captioning the snap: ‘To be like this again.’

Lauren, who has been working on her fitness in recent months, posed on a beach while rocking a neon pink and black two-piece. 

She oozed confidence as she showed off her toned midriff and legs while standing in front of an idyllic sunset.  

Back in December 2023, Lauren declared she wants to get ‘really skinny’ and claimed she is ‘bored of her curves and big a**’, after she admitted to having a bum lift and breast implants. 

The beauty previously committed to a new health kick after she admitted earlier that year that she found herself ‘ordering takeaways’ when she became a mother.

Speaking to Closer Magazine at the time, she explained: ‘I want to get really skinny. I’m bored with my curves and a big a*** – I’m over it.’
