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

Hi Gina! I would like to see more posts about your pregnancy : ) I’m so happy for you and I love reading them!
Congrats! I would love to see a few more HIIT routines and more recipes are always good:)
I want to see your little baby bump grow and more awesome recipes:) I’m also totally going to create a Twitter account just to join this contest lol
I’d love to see pre and post natal workouts. Pre as you progress through your trimesters and post for getting in shape after baby next year.
I love your recipes and would love to see more because they’re very balanced nutritionally! 😀
I am so excited to stay motivated to keep a healthy pregnancy while watching you stay healthy during yours. I can’t wait to read all about your days and eats and of course to watch your belly grow and see that beautiful baby once he or she is born.
First of all, I love love LOVE your blog! And congrats on your upcoming baby! He or she will be beautiful 🙂
What I would like to see more of on the blog this coming year is more healthy (and preferably GF) recipes! But any good recipe will do 🙂 I also love reading posts about you and the Pilot. Y’all are so darn cute together!
I would love to see more gluten-free recipes!
I love the recipes, congratulations on three years!
I can’t wait to hear how you incorporate your healthy lifestyle as a new mom (and soon-to-be new mom) in the next year!
Happy Blogiversary! I’m loving your new “Family” posts, so I’m excited to see how the next year goes. 🙂
I want to see more about living a healthy life as a pregnant woman and as a new mom! I am due in December and would love some guidance over the next crazy year of life!
Hi Gina! I am loving your baby posts, and would love to see more of that next year – especially how baby fits right in with your Fitnessista lifestyle! 🙂
Happy 3years!. Your blog has shown me new was of eating and working out. Thanks for helping me get in better shape
What I’d like to see but probably would be impossible would be a Fitnessista meetup . I used to belong to an online fitness group (I can give you the name privately) which got together once a year and they had so much fun. They did a group workout and then went shopping and out to lunch. That’d be so cool if you did it too.
I am a newcomer to your site and have really enjoyed it (it’s even more special that you are my first blog that I have followed)! I love all the recipes you have posted so keep those coming 🙂 I am a single, working mother so I would really love to see some quick ways to work in some exercise either on fifteen minute breaks or at lunch. Oh! And any ideas for great workouts with kids in tow 🙂
What would I like to see next year? More of the same please! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…..although that macaroon recipe would be nice! I’d like to see that 😉
Happy 3 years!! I love the posts in your “family” section, keep them coming 🙂 And more cooking videos or q&a videos with the pilot. The last one was so funny!
I would like to see more gluten free recipes and how you manage your active lifestyle during pregnancy and as a new mom.
how to get back into pre-pregnancy shape! I’m sure you’ll do great with it!
Congraulations on your 3 years! I look forward to recipes and hearing about the family in the future!
i can’t wait for BABY THINGS! and of course more fab tips on food and workouts!
I JUST found your blog like 2 days ago, but I assure you I spent a FEW hours last night going back and reading a ton! haha. (in the least stalkerish way possible, i promise) and I have to say that you are very generous with your meal/work out plans. Other “fit” web sites that I read charge you money for that! So, thanks for that! Im not sure what I could even request to see more of in the future because really I didn’t see that it was lacking anything. Probably just keep up the great info!
happy birthday, bloggie! next year i’d like to see more on preventative and alternative medicine. i love those posts!
Gina, congrats on 3 years. You have accomplished amazing things in those 3 years…my blog is 2 years old. I started it when your blog was 1. I remember finding your blog and thinking, I want to do what she’s doing…you inspired me then, and continue to inspire me now.
I can’t wait to see how your life as a mother unfolds over the next year!!!
I wish you, your blog, the Pilot, your new baby..all the love and happiness in the world 🙂 and you should be so proud of what you’ve built here with your blog!
xoxo
Without question, I want more of the pregnancy and when the time comes, lots of the little fitnessista/pilot! Happy anni!!!!
dog pictures 🙂
I would love to see more of your meals, esp. with being preg and to hear about what you are doing to switch up your workouts while you’ve got a little bun in the oven! I love reading everything your write about so please just keep it up with what you do. Love that you are open and honest!! Xoxo Happy Anniversary!
I’m looking forward to meeting your little bundle of joy!!!
I would love to see how your fitness and eating routines evolve throughout your pregnancy and post-birth. Congrats!
FB like you

wohoo great post! I would love to see a baby names post… i love that stuff!!! =)
I would love to see more of the progression pics of your pregnancy plus how you deal with cutting back working out with such a new change.
facebook liked youuuu
I would love to see how you stay fit throughout your pregnancy .
Your adventurous and family-oriented spirit is what keeps me coming back to the blog. I enjoy reading the incredibly frank posts that pop up in between the food pictures and exercise routines. In the next year, I look forward to reading about your growth (no pun intended!) with the impending arrival of a little one. That little life will bring out the best and worst in you, and I know you will handle the transition with grace, humor, and complete honesty!
I would like to see more vegan sources of protein and how someone who’s into fitness would stay vegan…love this giveaway. Fingers crossed!
More recipes!!! I am so hooked on the Amazeballs!!!! My boys love them too! They think it is dessert because they taste so yummy 🙂
looking forward to seeing you become a mommy and hearing all about it
I absolutely love your blog! I read it everyday 🙂 Congratulations on the pregnancy! You really do inspire me to be more fit and healthy daily!
It would be really cool to see how you maintain your fitness/diet through your pregnancy, and then how you lose it afterwards. I don’t think anyone who reads your blog doubts that you’ll be one fit mama!
Happy blogiversary! I have read your blog almost every day for the last six months and I love it! And I’m loving all of the baby updates! I can’t relate yet since I am nowhere near having children, but I teared up catching up on all of your posts about the process so far. so sweet. Here’s my idea for a blog post… focus on: the shake weight. Someone gave me one as a joke for my birthday, but I’ve heard it actually works! Have you tried it out?
Congrats on the blogiversary!! I would love to see more videos of you and the pilot answering questions! It’s always fun to see and learn more about the person you follow every day 🙂
Happy 3 yrs! I would like to see how to deal with pregnancy and work and being fit! thank you!
Awesome! My blog turned 3 in May as well! Craaazy. One thing I’d love to hear from you is your journey on staying fit through your pregnancy and beyond. And your thoughts on how you decide when/how much to workout and why. For example, prior to pregnancy Gina seemed clearly 100% dedicated to serious workouts regularly. I’m just curious if/how that will shift as your little one becomes a priority. I know that it will. Anyway, I also love your fashion posts so seeing the pregnancy side of that will be fun.
I am a daily reader of your blog and love it so much! Congrats on the exciting baby news!! Over the next year, I’d love to read more about your pregnancy, birth experience and having a baby in general. My husband and I plan on trying for our first little one soon and it so nice to hear first hand perspective from someone I can relate to. 🙂
I would love to hear more about the different classes you teach and different workout techniques!
Happy blogiversary!! I’d love to see more recipes on the blog…and I’m also a fan of the fashion posts 🙂
