Forward Progress

The Under Armour What’s Beautiful 3.0 Challenge  really could not have come at a better time. Even though we’ve been traveling for the past week in Istanbul and are now on a house hunting adventure in Geneva, the challenge has helped keep both me and my husband on track with our health and weight loss goals. Normally, we have each gained weight on vacations because we allow ourselves to indulge and don’t always workout as much as normal. This vacation we’ve made working out a fun activity each day instead of a chore! We’ve enjoyed healthy breakfasts and lunches that are filled with protein and vegetables whether kebabs in Turkey or this beautiful Nicoise salad we enjoyed here in Geneva yesterday.

My thoughts were correct based on the way my clothes are fitting and how I feel. I’ve lost 3 pounds on vacation thus far!

    Congrats on finding something that works for you, and staying healthy while traveling! This is something i REALLY struggle with, and considering I travel a fair bit (like you), it can lead to a bit of a yo-yo pattern. I eat really well (and clean) at home, and then indulge when I’m away. I need to crack the code on this. I am happy that i’m making baby steps, but I need to keep working at it! Congrats again 🙂

    I have been proud of myself that during my last 2 vacations I didn’t gain any weight. I have yet to be able to say I’ve lost while away. You are amazing and inspiring. So happy that you have found what works for you. Woo Hoo for the 3 pound loss!
