I mentioned a while back that I’d joined the What’s Beautiful Campaign by Under Armour. The idea is to find a goal that defines what’s beautiful to you, and use the support of your teams to achieve your goal.
I love the idea behind this campaign and chose my goals to be PR-ing my 5K and half marathon times, and I added the goal of becoming stronger. Right now I’m working to achieve my goals by doing short HIIT runs (when my IT band allows) and doing more focused heavy lifting in the gym, which I’m loving right now!
You know what else I’m loving? The gear that Under Armour sent us! I’m pretty picky, especially when it comes to tops and shoes, and I LOVE this top (not to tight and falls nicely) and these shoes – SO COMFY!
The shoes are perfect for my strength training days in the gym!
I’ve taken way too many gym selfies this week…
I decided to start a team called Do You. Be You. Love You., based on the idea of learning to love yourself exactly how you are NOW.
My first challenge to my team members? Write a list of 10 things that you love about yourself. Sounds easy enough, right? I was actually surprised, once I sat down to write my list, how much harder it was than I anticipated to come up with 10 things! Here’s my list:
So I challenge you, whether you just write it down on a piece of scrap paper, put it in your phone, or make an image and add it to the group (which you SHOULD do!), do this! Just take 5 minutes and write down 10 things that you love about yourself.
Did you make a list? No? GO DO IT.
What’s a goal that you have right now?
I just set a goal to make my list this weekend- such a great reminder to love myself.
Can I ask what the name of that blue tank top is? I’ve been looking at getting some UA gear for this summer’s hot runs.
I hope you made your list! And this is the tank I received: http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/1236041/pid1236041-731
I have that top in green, and I love it! So comfy!
I agree!
I just set my goal and requested to be a part of your team! What a great campaign!
Awesome, thanks, Adria!
Great idea with the list! Completely agree with #3 and #8. 🙂
Haha thank you!
I love all those things about you too!
Especially your long legs….;)
who doesn’t love my legs? haha
Love your list! Go redheads!
yay for the redheads of the world!
I love my under armour shoes! My goal would be to work out again… It’s been over a year since I had my son and its time I got back in shape!
You can do it! Start small, working in short workouts a few times a week and it makes it so much more manageable! And be sure to do something you ENJOY!
I noticed you said you love your hair! I love it too. But wondering if you hated your hair when you were younger like I did because I always felt it was unmanageable.
Oh I definitely hated my hair when I was younger! My mom has straight hair so she didn’t know what to do with mine! I actually straightened my hair from 8th grade through junior year of college!
LOVE your gym selfies!!! Cutie.
Haha, thanks Annette!
Could you post some of your HIIT workouts?! Thanks 🙂
You’ll find them if you click on my “Workouts” tab!
love the selfies! and goal for today is to get outside and take a nice walk! 🙂
That sounds like the perfect goal, one of mine as well today!
I love the premise behind your team, and think your strength goal is fantastic! That’s one of my goals right now, too. I lost a lot of muscle mass over the winter when my tummy was giving me grief, but that’s improved significantly, so I’m back in the weight room now. 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful weekend, Katie! <3
I hope you had a great month too, and I’d love to hear more about your strength training since that’s something I’m working on!
