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

Congrats on 3 years! I have loved this blog for a little over a year now! I would love to see baby updates and maybe some of the ways in which you have incorporated healthy living into your pregnancy. My husband and I are thinking about getting preggers soon and I would like to know if you have a birth plan, or some tips for staying active! Thanks!
I’d love to see more playlists – especially for cardio. I only listen to music on my way to and from work and feel so out of the loop when it comes to great fast paced music to workout to.
I have been following you for about a year now and LOVE your blog. I am so excited to read about your growing family over the next year:) I just recently got engaged and I get so excited to see your life unfolding and then imagining how mine will!! My sister and my bestfriend are pregnant too…its great to follow all three of you on this journey! Thanks for letting us into your life!
Happy Blog Anniversary!! I think your blog is creative and entertaining to read as is! I love your recipes so I would like to see more of that and perhaps reviews of products?
Thanks for keeping this up! 🙂 This blog is definitely inspiration to keep in shape and healthy.
Happy blogiversary! 🙂 Keep on doing what you’re doing with delicious recipes and fabulous workouts! I’m also looking forward to more family posts!
Times flies, I would like to see more recipes, raw, etc and more videos. Have a great day.
just found your site and sorry I haven’t stumbled upon it sooner. catching up is going to be so fun! I would like to see more recipes, playlists for workouts, how to fit fitness into life as a new mom. I have a 10 week old and have been working in fitness for over 15 years…more challenging then ever to get workouts in now. No time for me… learning to relish the 15-20 minute workout…accepting that a good workout doesn’t have to be 45-60 minutes anymore
Congrats girl! Amazing how three years flies by, right? I adore your blog and would love to see more of the things you already do (i.e. the workouts, recipes, playlists, etc). Maybe you could do some more how-to videos on topics like hair + make-up? Yours always looks great!
Happy Blogiversary!!! I woud love more raw recipes and more videos! LOVE the blog a daily read!
Congrats on all of these exciting milestones!! I’d love to see more of your simple savory recipes on the blog in the next year. The sweet potato/black bean stew and huevos rancheros have been hits in my kitchen! 🙂
It’s been fun to follow along with you these last few years. Fitnessista has added mucho entertainment to my mundane desk job. So a big CONGRATS and THANK YOU to you, Ms. Fitnessista/Mrs. Pilot/Mama to be. 🙂 (p.s. over 1400 comments? CRAY CRAY!)
i can’t wait to see how you balance baby, hubby, job, and food stuff. it is always inspiring to see this natural shift.
I love your blog! Over the next year of blogging I would like to read about how you incorporate fitness into your pregnancy. 🙂
Hi Gina!
I am looking forward to reading about your pregnancy journey, and meeting your new bundle of joy in the next year! I recently had a baby so I can relate to everything you are going through. I am so excited to read about the different experiences you and Tom have over the next several months. It will also be very inspirational to read about your eating and exercise techniques throughout this journey. Looking forward to every post you have to share!!!
I want that jacket! Haha. I would love more recipes that are easily adaptable for people who do eat wheat and dairy (like the protein muffins you linked to – I eat one every other day now:) ) Congratulations!
Your blog is perfect the way it is, but I am soo excited to read about your pregnancy. I look forward to more posts about the baby :)!
I think everyone is excited to see some baby news on the blog in the following year!!
Happy anniversary!!! 🙂 I love your “family” addition with posts about your pregnancy, etc. Please keep up the summer/winter shape ups. They are so motivating, and I love the workouts. Recipes are always fantastic! Your blog is an incredible inspiration, thank you for all of your hard work! 🙂
I would love to see more step-by-step recipes like the ones you did for the breakfast cookie and your amazing amazeballs 🙂
Cant wait to see the family/baby posts. Maybe some pre/post natal workouts would be fun.

I dont care about the gifts, I just love the blog. <3
Happy 3 year blogiversary.
Obvi I want to see a BABY on the blog!!!
Gina…love the blog! I’ve been reading for a couple of months, Found you through your breakfast cookie recipe and fell in love with the whole blog. I really like your outlook on food, mine is much the same, and I’m always trying to be healthier. Several years ago, I had tried pretty much every diet in the book, and I’ve ended up with a mostly mediterranean style diet. Keep up the good work, and congrats on the baby pilot/fitnessista!
I would love to see cardio playlists, the baby and I love the shape up food lists:)
Happy Blog Bday! I love the way things on the blog are right now, but I am also super excited to follow your journey through pregnancy. I am right behind you at 8 weeks along with our first, so it’s pretty much all I think about! 🙂
