The best of 2012
Happy old year! Hope youโre spending the last of 2012 with those you love and have something fun planned tonight ๐

1 month of baby food, 1 hour, $20 (my most-visited and pinned post of all time! Thank you so much to those of you who have helped spread the word)
Original breakfast cookie (went in and changed the pics a few months ago, since the old grainy ones were horrendous)

I have so many fun things planned and in store for 2013- including Winter Shape Up! Hope youโre as excited as I am.
Whatโs one of your favorite posts from 2012 (it can be from any blog, including your own)? Anything youโd like to see here in 2013? As always, I love to hear and appreciate your feedback.
See ya in the new year!

If youโre out partying tonight, hereโs my mama hen advice to please be safe <3 Make a plan to get home safely before you go out and know what options are available for you if you find yourself without a ride. Donโt forget to stash a few coconut waters for tomorrow, too ๐
Itโs Day 6 of 12 days of Fitness!

4 toe touches (each side)
3 mountain climbers (each side)

Yeah Winter Shape Up!!! So excited already. I really loved your baby food posts. ๐
Iโm glad you had such a great year, Gina! My 2012 was kind of a stinker, but Iโm excited for all that 2013 has in store! PS. Looking forward to your winter shape-up! ๐
Happy New Year to you and the family! Crazy to think last year I was stalking your blog to see when that baby would come.
You are always an inspiration!
Any idea when I should put the WSU on my calander?
iโm thinking about jan 28th ๐
Caroline is such a sweet heart.
I always think itโs so interesting to see which are the most-visited posts from bloggers!
Excited for the Winter Shape Up! Happy New Year to you and your family, Gina!
What a wonderful year! My favorite post of my own was about running the Chicago Marathon ๐

Have a fun night with your loved ones!
My favorite post was Summer Shape Up 2012 (Iโm counting the whole series as one post.). Itโs what turned me from an occasional Fitnessista reader into a die hard, everyday, cry when I miss a post reader. Haha! It also helped me get back on board with my training. I had been slacking for several months and having a 4 weeks goal/guideline really helped me. And the workouts kicked my butt!! I am super excited about Winter Shape Up and hope it will jump start my goal of dropping the 10 pounds that I โpicked upโ during 2012.
Happy new year Gina!! Youโre the only blog Iโve kept reading through the years, I just love it! I absolutely love your HIIT workouts and recipes my husband just told me one of his resolutions is to eat less meat, so I will be browsing your recipes often!!
Younare such a beautiful couple!! I am excite for the Winter Shape Up! Thank you also for posting the fave posts, I need to browse though them this week!! Happy New Yearโs night!!
My favorite post of mine was : http://healthlovepursuitofhappiness.blogspot.com/2012/12/out-of-my-comfort-zone.html

Thanks for rounding all of these up for us!! I found a few of my favorite posts of yours in here!
Gina, I love your blog so much! I love how you always keep it real. you keep me inspired so I wanted to say thank you! You are doing an awesome job!!
I loved your early Livi days posts Gina! And Iโm totally going to check out the โnewโ old breakfast cookie. I have been re-photographing a lot of recipes on my blog and while the old photos were hideous, isnโt it nice to see how far weโve come?! ๐ Happy new year to you, Livi and the Pilot!
I completed the 12days of Christmas workout last night, except I did the entire thing through twice after a proper warm up, then followed it up with 3 rounds of 25kettlebell swings, 25 push ups, 25 pull ups. I then garnished the whole workout with your ab burner. Holy moly, it was insanity! ๐
Iโm looking forward to the Winter Shape Up! Your Summer Shape Up were some of my favorite posts this year! Happy New Year!
Iโm so excited for Winter Shape Up! Have a great New Yearโs<3

Love this post! Some of my favorite posts are always the holiday gift guides, such great gift ideas! Day 6 of the 12 days done! The pull ups were so hard, Im definitely going to be sore tomorrow!
Looks like you had a banner year, congratulations! Looking forward to checking out your recipes.
Happy 2013 to you and your family, Gina! Itโs been a pleasure watching you guys blossom as a happy family this year and thanks for sharing so much of your family life with us all and all the sweet photos!
My favorite post was the one I just did todayโฆ
Iโd love to see some juicing recipes this year and maybe a post on how youโve changed emotionally/mentally since becoming a mom. I also always love play list suggestions!
Happy new year!
Iโm so thankful for your blog and all of the fabulous fitness and clean eats you have brought us in 2012. Canโt wait to see what you have in store for 2013 ๐ Happy New Year!
Your breakfast cookie cereal changed my life. Seriously. I was so skepticalโฆ.then I made it. And ate it. And loved it. Repeat, repeat, repeat!
For 2013โฆ.Iโd like to see more meal ideas. I always get in a food rut and eat the same things over and over.
Happy New Year!
2012 was an amazing year for you. Hereโs hoping 2013 is even better!
Itโs been a great year!
