Taraji P. Henson turned 50 over the weekend, and she celebrated like the true boss lady she is: on a yacht in a tiny white thong bikini, looking super toned.

"Go off shawty it’s ya BIRFDAY 💋💋💋," the actress captioned a series of photos showing her living her best life on the boat.

The Empire and Hidden Figures star had previously shared that before her birthday, she was embarking on a 30-day fitness challenge with longtime trainer Mike T to "get back on track". And clearly, her hard work paid off.

"Honestly, Taraji is very disciplined in the gym," Mike once told InStyle. "She’s the type of person that if you tell her she can’t do something, she’s definitely going to want to do it even harder. Her focus is second to none." He also noted that the actress regularly trains seven days a week when she's not working, and she usually does one to two hours of weight training and cardio.

For her 30-day challenge, Taraji kept her followers in the loop on her super tough workouts with Mike, which included everything from battle ropes, intense cardio, cable machine work, bodyweight exercises, and more.

Mike also shared a video at the end of her 30-day challenge, where he told his followers she was taking a 7-day training break to celebrate her birthday. In the video, Taraji and a friend are shown doing brutal hill sprints.

"She's worked very hard, I'm very proud of her," he said in the video.

"We had no days off!" says Taraji.
