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!

Under Armour’s What’s Beautiful 3.0 Challenge

As someone who works in marketing, I am always interested to see how brands decide to build community and interact with their fans and consumers. Therefore, when I followed Under Armour’s launch of their What’s Beautiful campaign last year I was excited and immediately in love with the platform. Their campaign, What’s Beautiful, allows the Under Armour “every woman” serve as the voice of the brand. Through their site women around the world can make their personal challenges public and gain support from friends around the world. I mean heck, check out the last winner, Kacey C! Her story is awesome!

I am partnering with Fitfluential to share the Under Armour message with readers and friends alike. The campaign partnership couldn’t come at a better time. I need something to keep my body strong and help push me a bit harder. The next 2 months leading up to our big move is going to be absolutely insane. In addition to packing, saying goodbye to friends and family and finishing our NYC bucket list (sort of) I’m traveling 25 days!

  • Miami 5/13-5/15 (work)
  • Istanbul 5/21-5/27
  • Geneva 5/28-6/1 (house hunting)
  • Seattle/San Francisco 6/4-6/7 (work)
  • Geneva 6/16-6/19 (work)

My What’s Beautiful Challenge is all about putting your body and health first even when life gets stressful! My team is all about putting your body and health first even when life gets busy! I find that we often let stress get in the way of our progress. As Bo and I prepare to move to Europe I know the months of May and June will be full of stress. For this reason, I’ve partnered with some of my accountability partners to put a weekly goal in place for each of the next 8 weeks. if you want to join in the movement to put yourself first then I’d love for you to join! #IWILL
