Teresa Giudice is getting back to her old ways after being released from prison on Dec. 23.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star was spotted with her sister-in-law and co-star, Melissa Gorga, heading to yoga class in her brand new Lexus SUV on Wednesday afternoon.

Teresa looked happy as she donned an all-black workout ensemble with her bright pink mat. She wore her hair down and loosely waved and looked all done up in a full face of makeup. Melissa also opted for an all-black outfit, wearing her hair pulled up in a pony tail and carrying a purple mat.

Though the reality star remains on home confinement and wears an electronic bracelet until her original release date of Feb. 5, she is allowed to do some everyday tasks. Her lawyer, James J. Leonard, explained in a statement last week that she is able go to work and "do different things with permission from her probation officer."

In fact, this is the second time we've spotted the reality star out and about since she returned home last week after her 15-month sentence at a Connecticut prison.

Earlier this week she was photographed out for the first time while grocery shopping at one of her favorite local markets.

A source told E! News of her outing, "She was happy to be out shopping and back into her routine. She looks really good. She looks skinnier than before and even though it was just a trip to the grocery store she was in full makeup and her hair was done."

Meanwhile, she also surprised fans with a short video on Wednesday, wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

"Hi everyone, I'm back" Teresa said in the 9-second clip. "I just want to wish everyone a happy New Year. It's going to be a great 2016. Love, love, love you all."

The new year will be bittersweet for the Giudice family now that they've been reunited with Teresa but knowing that Joe, who was indicted with his wife, is set to begin a 41-month prison sentence in March.
