A very special blogiversary [giveaway]- ended
Hi friends 🙂 How’s your morning going? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. <3
So the blog is 3 years old!!
The blog actually turned 3 last week, but with the Summer Shape Up and exciting news, I didn’t want to overload the week with too much going on.
For this post, I was originally planning on doing a list of events that have happened in the past 3 years, and then I realized:
1. A LOT of stuff has gone down and
2. the events aren’t what matter– it’s about the community, support, discussions and relationships that have been created in this tiny speck on the internet 🙂 You are 99.9% of the reason why this blog is what it is… I just write it, you’re the ones who show up for the party 🙂
This little blog began as an urge to share my love of health and a distraction from online shopping while I was bored in Valdosta – it has grown so much in the past 3 years. It’s changed and evolved with me, and I’ve had so much fun writing every word.
As a little thank you for changing my life, making this so rewarding and enjoyable, and just for being awesome, I thought it would be fun to do a little giveaway. Giving is always better than receiving for special occasions, anyway 🙂 I picked a few of my absolute favorite things and this giveaway is sponsored by myself and the Pilot 😀
To go with the “3 years” theme, there will be 3 different winners:
-1 commenter will receive my favorite lululemon jacket, the Define Jacket in a color/size of their choice ($99)
-1 Facebook fan will receive a pair of Toms shoes (size/color of choice) and a Nars Orgasm blush from Sephora ($100)
(I’m OBSESSED with the new crochet ones!! And everyone needs this blush)
-1 Twitter friend will receive a iTools Style Winder 1” curling iron ($140)
(I still owe ya a video on how to use it, because it’s life-changing)
+ each winner will receive a dozen macaroons in a flavor of their choice 😀
This means you have 3 different ways to win 3 different prizes:
***This giveaway has ended as of 9:35 EST on June 15.
Thank you again for an incredible 3 years 🙂
Love you guys,
Gina

I’m a new reader, so I can’t say what I’m looking for in the new year, but I love your blog so far!
Congrats, Gina! =)
I would love to read more about how to properly weight train!
Congrats and thanks for the giveaway! So sweet and creative. I would love to see more videos from you 🙂
I would love to see how you balance a new baby and a healthy new lifestyle — hopefully with some good recipes! I know how you said you weren’t going to make this into a family blog, but I’m definitely going to be visiting that tab quite often!
CONGRATS on THREE years! Thats awesome 🙂 I LOVE your blog and read it daily…. its addicting!
Next year I would love to see more of: 1. the Fitnessista’s awesome gluten free recipes. 2. How to balance a healthy lifestyle with a new family (congrats!) 3. Summer/Winter Shape ups…. those are GREAT!!!
crossing my fingers for a define jacket…. good luck to us all and CONGRATS fitnessista on THREE years!
I would love to see how your family evolves with the addition of a baby, I look forward to your family posts! It gives me more knowledge for when me and my husband have kids! : ) and more exercise/food posts are always appreciated! Happy 3 years!!
One more thing, I am loving show me your fit! Those pics are so inspiring and fun! I would like to maybe see those once a month or so?
Congratulations on three years! I’m looking forward to more family posts over the next year. I love the ones that you’ve done so far! Thanks for hosting such an amazing giveaway.
Hi there! I’m newish to this blog and I absolutely love it! I find it so interesting to read and learn about different diets and I would love to hear more about how you navigate restaurant menus. I also love to hear about the local farmers markets/events you go to in your area. I may not live anywhere near you (I’m aaaall the way in NYC!) but still like to hear how your community embraces local merchants and farmers. 🙂
I would love to see more about how to maintain a proper body image!
happy 3 yearsss!!!
First of all congratulations!! Second keep up the family posts! They are so fun to read and extremely exciting. I also love the summer shape up work out plan so any type of work out plans you give are greatly appreciated!
I absolutely love the summer shape-up series. I did last year’s (during the winter time) as part of my traiing program for a 10 miler (which I did fab) and this year’s is awesome so far…love a good sweat session. So I would love to continue to see workout write-ups, it’s like having a personal trainer!
I would like to see more about your pregnancy nutrition as I am super interested in it! I’ve loved your blog for it’s whole life now, happy three years!
xo
i am toying with the idea of starting a blog but looking at yours, i feel overwhelmed and intimidated. you provide so much helpful information, tips and recipes and update daily! i feel we are on similar paths in that we (my version of the pilot and I) are thinking of starting a family soon. So excited for the progress over the next year!
Congrats! I think blogs age in dog years so 3 years is more like 21 so whoohoo! I have to say as a fellow pregnant lady that over the next year I’m looking forward to seeing your pregnancy journey. Keep u’s informed on the workouts and eats!
I would love to see more workout of the week moves. They help me to switch it up while I am at the gym.
I’d LOVE to see some more workouts dedicated to certain regions of the body, like, arm blast, ab blasts. They are great to have on hand at the gym to spice things up. Also, any way we can print workouts directly from your website (like recipes on other site). Your blog has become my favorite. Thanks for the smiles.
Love your blog, G! I look forward to seeing you prove that women CAN have it all: a successful career, beautiful children, their heath, the hubby, and most importantly, a smokin’ hot bod! 🙂
Congrats on the 3 year anniversary! I’d like to see more family posts, maybe some from the Pilots point of view.
I’d like to see more of what you would consider exercise outside of the gym andddd definitely some baby stuff 🙂
I think your blog is fabulous as it is! I can’t imagine anything else that I would want to see that you don’t already have!
I tweeted about the giveaway!
Great job on making it to 3 years! For the next year on the blog I’d love to see family posts and how to get back into shape after pregnancy.
Congratulations!! As a new mom, I’d love to see you blog about finding a balance between fitness/health and the demands of being a mommy!
Happy 3 years!!! I would love to continue seeing healthy recipes (yours are always AWESOME) as well as all of the family stuff when/as it happens! I don’t have any friends who are going through baby stuff yet, so it’s nice to have a role model for when I eventually get to that point in my life!
Thank you for being amazing and I hope you have a wonderful day 🙂
Congrats on 3 years! I would love to see more tips on how to fix quick meals when you’re short on time.
I love your blog!!! It just gets better and better. I have been enjoying your family posts. It will be so special to look back upon esp with your little one 🙂
THREE YEARS! Congrats! I can’t wait to see a baby fitnessista or pilot 🙂
I love the summer shape up/winter shake ups. I have yet to do them b/c I’m a scaredy cat with weights, but I have all the links saved in my email for a rainy day! What a fun giveaway and happy 3rd birthday bloggy!
happy blogiversary!! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂 And congrats on the happy news!
I’d love to see a shape-up series post baby! I know your family section is different, but I am 6 weeks away from my due date and it’d be great to read what you do after you have your own!
Facebooked! 😀
In the next year I want to see a lot of family posts on this blog 🙂 I am really interested to see what people eat and how they workout while pregnant so I can keep those things in mind for the future 🙂
I never win shizzle. I want that stinkin’ jacket!
Annnnnnnd tweeted! You rock!
Love the give-aways but love the blog more. Dare I say, I would love to see your prego work-out routines, and how you incorporate fitness into your new life-style. I’m a mama of a 2 year old and just got this saggy bottom back into the gym. I would love some mama motivation!
I know this isn’t necessarily a “baby blog” but I’m hoping you will address balancing life (fitness, eating, social) with a little one around. Also I’d love for you to share your perspective on your child’s diet and how you strive to make it as healthy as possible (obviously this won’t be relevant immediately!).
I want to see what you have in plan for shaping up while being pregnant and also what your plan is for after
Hi Gina, Hi Tom! I’ve been a reader for quite some time, and I’m just so happy for you guys… thank you for sharing your lives with us readers… even though I don’t *know* you, I find it hard to imagine that you will not be exceptional parents!…. Congrats again on the baby and happy blogiversary, as well….! I can’t wait for baby blog posts and updates in the coming year… if I win, please keep the $$$ and gifts to go towards baby. I wouldn’t mind trying some meyer lemon-lavender ‘roons, though!
Happy 3 years! I love reading your blog everyday and am so excited to see what this next year brings. I am particularly interested in watching your family grow 🙂 and of course, all the yummy recipes you are sure to post!
I am also interested in seeing how pregnancy and motherhood balances out with everything else you do- fitness, cooking, travel, etc.
I love your blog and congrats on 3 years! I’d like to see more posts that are geared towards us rat race office workers. It’s a drag sitting in an office for 8 hours a day! I realized lately that I follow blogs by people who don’t have a set 8-5 schedule out of their house and these workouts and food choices really aren’t conducive to my life. I love reading about your life and take on things, so I would love to see how that translates a bit to a job/life like mine. Keep up the good work!
Hey Gina!
Congratulations on your success with the blog. It was the first blog I started following and it’s still the first one I catch up on every day 🙂 I’m looking forward to following your baby story over the next year, as well as how you handle staying fit during pregnancy and beyond.
Here’s wishing you and the Pilot all the success and happiness in the world.
-Jasmine from Canada 🙂
I just recently discovered your blog and I’ve been reading every day! I have 3 years of catching up to do 🙂
Crap! I didn’t follow instructions!!!
I like the workouts…keep them coming, please?
I never win shizzle. I want that stinkin’ jacket!
I tweeted the giveaway
I’d like to see more recipes and workouts, but more importantly, some healthy pregnancy tips and stories of your journey to motherhood!
I’d like to see you tackle more video posts and also do a relationship series. You and the Pilot seem to have such a healthy relationship…I’d love to hear your tips and advice for marriage/date nights/keeping it interesting/support/long-distance, etc.
Happy 3 years Fitnessista! 🙂 I would love to see more of your life as a new mommy on the blog. 🙂 I am loving the pregnancy updates so far and I can’t wait to see what is in store for you over the next year.
I would love to see some workouts on getting back into shape after baby, as well as tips of how to get motivated. Happy 3 year blogiversary!
