The 'Our Girl' actress refuses to feel guilty about eating what she wants or not exercising as much as she has in the past and has changed her mindset around diet and exercise.
She said: "I haven’t worked out for two weeks, but I’m not punishing myself over that. If I want a cheeseboard one night, I’ll have it, without feeling guilty. Previously, it was always the guilt for me, a lot of the time, and why I would be in the gym for two hours because I was like, 'Oh I’ve really been bad this week, so I need to go to the gym, I need to work it off.' And I was in the gym for two hours."
Michelle has a healthy lifestyle and likes to focus her meals on fish and chicken.
Speaking about her usual food intake, she added: "Breakfast is normally porridge with oat milk, and a few berries in there, or brown bread with avocado. Then for lunch, I normally have a protein base, whether it’s chicken or a fish with veg. I tend to stay away from potatoes around midday because I crash around 3pm if I have loads of carbs, and I get really tired … and then for tea or dinner, I always make seabass or salmon with soya sauce and a bit of honey on there, and then I have asparagus and broccoli."
Michelle has really enjoyed going walking in lockdown.
Speaking on Women’s Health UK podcast, 'Going for Goal', she shared: "I’ve really got into walking in lockdown. I love going for walks with my dogs, getting a bit of fresh air, and getting coffee on the way round. With the dogs, in the sunshine, that for me is a big treat. And then come home, maybe have a bath and then have a really nice dinner, like, a treat dinner. I might have some garlic prawns to start with, with some crusty bread, and then for my main, I like pasta with garlic and chilli olive oil, and a bit of parmesan cheese on top. I’d have a caramel cheesecake and a nice glass of Chardonnay."
