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

FB fan 🙂
…..aaannddd shared your giveaway!
I just want to hear more healthy lifestyle tips and see lots and lots and lots of baby pix! Happy Blogiversary!
I would love to see posts on your pregnancy journey & more recipes (especially for dessert :oD)!
I’m a new reader of your blog – and completely HOOKED. Spent over an hour going through old posts the other day! I would love to see lots more workouts on the blog over the next year. So far your summer shape-up workouts is one of the best weights workouts I’ve ever done. I’m also getting married next year so would LOVE to see another Bridal Bootcamp (I know you’ve already done one and can’t wait to start doing it before my wedding!)
Happy 3 year! This year, I would love to hear lots more baby news and see more healthy eats (always so inspiring). 🙂
Awesome blog & congratulations. I’d really love to hear more about how you plan to include fitness & eating as you move along your pregnancy journey. What food are you adding or cutting out? How intense are your workouts now etc.. I’d also love to hear more about your pregnancy in general =)
Fell in love with the blog March 2011, can’t get enough! Keep it going!
ahh you’re the best! in the next year, i would love to see cute chubby baby cheeks (!), house posts (!!), a post on free weights for dummies (me), and reducing/eliminating processed foods…
Keep posting from the heart! I look forward to following your pregnancy. Happy Blogiversary!
In the next year, I would like to see the blog just the way it is-just with a healthy baby added into the picture 😉
i can’t get enough of your blog and can’t wait to read more about your growing fam, your new house, and your ever-inspiring recipes and workouts 🙂
Fantastic! 3 years! I’d love more recipes as I’m a vegetarian trying to give up sugar! need all the help I can get!
Happy Birthday to your blog and thanks for the awesome giveaways 🙂 What do I want to see next year? I think it’s a given that we all want to see you little Pilot/Fitnessista when they come around, but I’d love it if you kept up the Summer and Winter Shape Ups because they’ve definitely become highlights of my workout year 🙂 Oo, and more of your fabulous healthy yet indulgent recipes (like your vegan power cookies, which I make for my hubby, aka. use as an excuse to eat half the dough!)
Happy blogiversary! I would love to see more recipes, fashion posts and family posts! Congratulations on everything!
Hi Gina, first of all congrats! I started reading your blog about 6 months ago, and i still really love it. You made me aware of what i was doing to my body by feeding it junk food, and i now know that healthy stuff can be delish 🙂 I am ‘addicted’ to sports and i would love to see your exercise journey now that the little baby is on his/here way! Your recipes are also inspiring, and you should keep up the good work.
Ofcourse I would love to win the give away, i would give the presents to à good friend of mine who just found out that both here parents have cancer (ofcourse i would save à roon for myself). Well Gina, i wish you and your family all THE best and i will keep reading your blog. Love Smartie (Netherlands) xx
Cheers to three years!!! Well I pretty much see everything that I want to on your blog….but I’m absolutely stoked to see more on your pregnancy! Congratulations!!
Happy Birthday! I would love to see more stuff on a healthy pregnancy!
I would love to see more of your playlists for work-outs and hear more about how you handle being gluten free in social situations (especially with new people) and in restaurants. Congrats on the 3 year mark!
Happy B-Day! It´s going to be lovely to continue reading your family posts, everything about your pregnancy (for future mothers to be) including how to stay fit and active during and after your pregnancy.
Happy DAY!!!!!!! Yay you made it 3 years!!! I read this blog everyday. I love how much of your personality and love of what you do is poured out into the blog with each post. I would love more workout tips, fueling for workouts and how to balance exercise with living a full, healthy life. Keep up the great work. You’re awesome. xo
I just want to see what you always blog! Good food, fitness, fun, and to be kept up to date about the baby! 😀

Your blog is already so awesome that this is a hard question but I would have to say I look forward to more Fitnessista family adventures!! Happy Blogiversary!!
I wanna see that baby! But like many others have said… keep doing your thang because that’s why we all love it and read it. Oh, and more roon giveaways… I would like to see that 😉
I’m so excited for the next year to bring all sorts of new posts about family and the baby!!
I would love to see more “favorite things” posts and of course the cute little baby once it arrives!!
Congrats!! I definitely want to see baby posts because shhhh!! I’m pregnant too!! I’m a month behind you so its been really cool to hear about your experience and relating that to my own. I love hearing about your adventures and maybe would like to see some cooking videos too! Keep up the great work!!
I would LOVE to hear about your pregnancy and fitness in the next year. 🙂
more workouts! I love them! so much. Great giveaway and CONGRATS on the anniversary!
I love learning about or trying unconventional ways of working out. It would be cool to see any different methods you have tried or are interested in too. I saw you like the Tracy Anderson Method which I’m also a fan of. Some other cool things I have been working with are battle ropes and kettle-bells. Congrats on the 3 years too!
Happy Blogiversary!!!!
Before i tell you something i would want to see more of, i wanted to say that i really like your blog and have been really inspired by your blog. I am recently married and my hubby happens to be in the coast guard and is getting qualified to fly..He has had to leave for whole days at times i know it doesnt compare to how long the Pilot has left at times but i can still understand how u feel when he is gone..On a happier note congratulations on your pregnancy and having your family together…OK moving on something i would like to see more of would be more snack recipes or healthy baking recipes share some of ur in site on food! But besides that your blog is very entertaining and i look forward to reading it everyday..
So happy for you!!! I would love to see more quick easy delicious recipes and more about balanced eating and maybe some exercises using weights. Thanks!!!
HaPpY BlOgIvErSary!!!! I would love to see in upcoming posts how you adapt your workouts throughout your pregnancy. My husband (a Marine) and I have been trying for our second and I am hoping with the help of your blog, with the next one, I will be able to stay motivated to stay in shape throughout my own pregnancy! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the next year! Thank you so much for wonderful tips, I can’t tell you how great your workouts/recipes are and more importantly your sharing during the times the pilot is away. I relate so much to it all! Congrats to you, the Pilot and Bella on the new addition! 🙂
I’ve been reading your blog for a couple of months now and i love it. I like reading about your different workouts and how you stay gluten free. I’d love to see videos of how to do certain exercises. I find myself googling the terms you use a lot. Congrats on the blog and the baby 🙂
Happy Birthday! I have been loving your Summer Shape Up workouts. They have spiced up my workout routine:)
Happy Blogaversary! I would love to see more of your fabulous recipes, fashion posts and really enjoy when you critique the latest types of workout trends. I would also be very interested in how your diet/exercise change during and after pregnancy. Thanks, I love your blog and your positive impact!
I Love your blog! Such an inspiration- more workout pics and demonstrations of fun strengthening exercises please 🙂
I’m excited to see all of the baby updates!! I think it’s amazing for readers to follow along in this new part of your life! 🙂 Awesome giveaway!
Congratulations on 3 years! I have been following your blog for half of that 🙂
I am planning on (fingers crossed) a new addition to our family in the next year and I would love to see health tips, work out plans, parenting advice, etc from you continuing after you have your little guy or girl! I would definitely benefit!!
I am looking forward to more pregnancy/family posts and baby pics!! i am 17 weeks along myself 🙂
I would like to see more on your exciting new addition to family and how you incorporate fitness into your pregnancy! Congrats on 3 yrs!
Congrats on 3 years of bloggin. I love the blog just the way it is. Love the fashion and family posts that you’ve added and can’t wait to see what comes next.
Congrats on 3 years! I have recently started reading your blog and I love your workouts! I would love to see more workouts for pre baby and post baby-how you’re planning on staying fit during pregnancy and after.
Honestly?…. I would like to see more recipes and…. I would love to see the baby amd some advice for future moms (fitness, etc) 🙂
I would love to see more healthy recipes! Congrats on three years!
Congrats on the 3-year anniversary! I’m a relatively new reader, but I really enjoy reading your posts. Plus, I, too, just found out recently that I’m pregnant (I’m a little over 8 weeks, so not too far behind you!), so I really look forward to seeing your updates and reading about your fitness endeavors while getting ready for a little one!
Happy Anniversary! I would like to see a periodic features from followers-showcasing their use of your “shape ups” or recipe ideas or fashion suggestions. I have always loved to see “before and after” testimonials from real people like myself-but not just about improved fitness or physical goals met-I mean that could be a part of it for sure- but all things “fitnessista”. Like if I used a thrifing idea I got from you-I might be featured one week, showing off my new-to-me Franko Sarto wedges….you know, at a dinner party…where I made one of the recipe ideas you gave. I like to think we are all some how connected and thru blogs like this it’s fun/encourraging and motivating to see just how true that is. Much love and congrats!
