When answering fan questions during an Instagram Q&A in September, for example, the mother of three revealed she started working out "6-7 times a week," further explaining the details of her fitness routine. "I always start with 20-30 [minutes] of cardio on the elliptical (level 10) and then about an hour of weight lifting," she shared. 

Additionally, while speaking to The Messenger in September, The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member shared more details about her health journey. "I cut out dairy. I don't drink much alcohol at all. I eat mostly protein. I don't eat late at night. I don't eat fast food really anymore," she told the outlet. "I eat most meals at home. I cook meals. I am conscientious about what I'm eating. Just those changes made a huge difference." 

While many followers have been supportive of her journey, there are a few detractors — the likes of which Emily was sure to respond to in a recent post.

She went on to note that she also wanted something “simple” for the occasion, pairing the halter-neck sheath with strappy gold Jimmy Choo heels and emerald drop statement earrings.
