Lamar Odom is doing whatever it takes to present a good second impression to estranged wife Khloe Kardashian. The former National Basketball Association (NBA) player reportedly has gotten rid of the bad lifestyle choices during his wedded days.

According to Hollywood Life, Lamar has quit his bad habits not only to win Khloe back, but also to improve his overall well-being and eventually earn a shot back in the premier basketball league. A source close to Lamar told the entertainment news website that the New York native athlete is through the partying stage in his life. "Lamar's not f****** around and partying these days," the source revealed. The source further said that Lamar has not been into a party for many months now.

Lamar is said to be aware how his bad habits ruined the charm in his four-year marriage with Khloe and his basketball career. Lamar's alleged drug and substance abuse and infidelity have taken a toll on his relationship so he is breaking his bad habits and vows not to repeat the same mistakes again.

Lamar is now choosing his friends wisely and tries to associate himself with only good friends that can help him grow as a person. He reportedly tries to get away from friends that are a bad influence to him. Lamar even changed his phone number to steer away from negative people.

Meanwhile, Khloe seems to be doing a lot things to keep her mind preoccupied. Even though she is aware of Lamar's plea to win her back, she has been focusing on herself since her breakup with French Montana.

On Sept. 27, Khloe is supposed to celebrate her five-year wedding anniversary with Lamar, whom she filed for divorce in December. Instead of reminiscing the day when she married Lamar, Khloe has been doing a lot of activities such as having beauty treatments and working out, the Daily Mail reported. Recently, Khloe has posted a picture on Instagram where she had a face mask on. She has also had intense training workouts with Beverly Hills-based celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson. The British webloid reported that it is still unclear how Khloe will celebrate her supposedly five-year anniversary with Lamar.
