progress not perfection

 

As a FitFluential Ambassador, I’ve been selected to participate in Under Armour’s What’s Beautiful Campaign. This post is sponsored by Under Armour and FitFluential. What’s Beautiful is a competition to redefine the female athlete. To me, that means choosing foods that nourish, make me strong and give me energy.

What is healthy eating? How do you eat for energy? Before working with me, so many of my clients are under the impression that one cookie or a few too many margaritas is cause for ruin. Let me tell you a little secret. It’s not.

We make progress, not perfection.

There’s no need to fly off the rails or beat yourself up for an indulgence here and there. Making healthy choices is a mindset and has nothing to do with willpower. I explain in this video.

Here’s where you come in:

1. Anyone can join in on this campaign and I’d love to have you sign up, declare a goal and create your page.

Click here to do that now. 

2. Follow me so we can support each other. I’ll follow you back.

Find my page here. 

3. Everyone competes as individuals but you can join as many teams as you’d like to help you reach your goals.

Join my Team, Eat for Energy!

Under Armour provides challenge prompts to keep you going and motivated along the way. Creating a video like the one I did here is the first challenge so get started!

If you’ve joined the campaign, leave a comment here, share your goal with me and leave a link to your page so we can all follow and support each other!

There are cool prizes involved for the winners like a retreat to Costa Rica with Under Armour so give this your ALL!

Love what you're reading?

  Starting my own blog has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In the beginning, I didn’t know a lot about blogging. It was more of a creative outlet for me and a place to share information on my journey to becoming a health coach. I started my blog out of pure [...]

While I don’t recommend stress eating to deal with emotions, there are actually some healthy ways to manage stress with food. Last night, I was on the Chelsea Krost Show to talk [...]
