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

Wow! This is a crazy popular post, and for good reason. I really love the posts you do on different types of fitness videos/routines. I would love to see more of the diet and eating plan analysis recaps. 🙂
Love the videos featuring workout moves (especially weights!) It definitely helps me to put together a routine for when I hit the gym and figure out how I can be the most efficient.
Congrats on your blogiversary!!!!!!!!!! My approach to fitness is quite different from yours but I always find myself coming back here — I don’t know if it’s your writing, your personality or the community you foster but I am in love 🙂 I would love to see more in the family section honestly!!
oh and i already like you on facebook 🙂
I want i want!
Happy 3 Year blogiversary, that is amazing!!!
blogging is so much fun, i love following your blog, and i love writing on my own, you definitely help keep me going! i love reading your blog every.single.day.
I also already like you on facebook
and i tweeted!
Hi, happy blog birthday!!
I would love more workout/eating plans like the Summer Shape up you have done, and you need to start writing the Fitnessista book!
um best giveaway ever! Happy Blogiversary! 🙂 It’s been fun to follow along on the 3-year journey and I look forward to all the exciting events in the future on your blog!!
I think a recap would be really neat – like a visual graphic timeline with the major events over the years. Would definitely be hard to pick the biggies over time but a cool representation of your blog/life milestones!
more recipes!!
Liked you on FB!
I would like to read about how to incorporate workouts into a packed schedule!
Yeah! What a great giveaway… I cannot wait for more recipes and also to follow you along on your preggers adventure!
i love reading about your adventures with the pilot! i would love to see your baby journey and lots of baby pictures in the next year! happy blogiversary 🙂
Hi, first time commenter!
First of all, I’ve been doing the summer shape-up-from 2010-and I am loving the strength training workouts. I’m always sore the next day and it’s a great feeling! I would like to see more workouts and obviously more about your pregnancy (and baby!) in the future. Also, I’d like to hear more relationship posts about you and the Pilot-it seems like you guys have a great relationship and I’d like to know how you make things work!
I am LOVING that jacket. If I don’t win, I’m probably going to have to buy it myself!
Congrats on the 3 year anniversary! 🙂
I love the family posts as well. I love that you’re honest and relate-able and you talk about everything (good or bad). It’s so comforting and refreshing. So I’d love to see the family posts continue.
I definitely would love to see your baby posts after the little one arrives.
I would also love to continue to see meat-free recipe posts – for us flexitarians out there. 🙂
I follow you & tweeted!! =0)
I liked you on facebook and answered the question 🙂
About two months ago I stumbled across your blog and have become addicted. I’ve finally caught up on all of your past entries, and I look forward to every entry you post each day and enjoy every word of it. I have really digested and applied a lot of your advice and tips in my life recently. Made a lot of changes in foods and thinking. Reading your blog inspires me to enjoy life, enjoy delicious clean food and embrace the fit for life attitude. Someday I hope I can have a blog half as amazing as yours. It’s hard to think of anything I’d like to see in your blog that you don’t already have in it. Just continue with your seemingly effortless ability to motivate and inspire and educate. You are amazing:)
I love your blog! It was the first one I found and has introduced me to the blogging world! I’m looking forward to seeing how the little guy/girl changes your food and fitness routines. Happy Blogiversary!
I would love to see some beauty tips/recommendations! And, of course, more family/baby talk.
Congratulations on 3 years. I love your blog, and read it every day! (Stalker). I think the tone of your blog is great – I wouldn’t change anything. Looking forward to the pregnancy and baby posts, since i’m currently experiencing some major baby fever myself. 🙂 I just became a fan on FB as well!
I’d like to see a baby on the blog 😉
Yay congrats! So exciting!
I <3 your blog and look forward to reading it every day, I can't wait to see pics of your little one in the new year and reading about how motherhood empowers you 🙂
I tweeted 🙂
Congratulations on your 3 year blog anniversary!!! Still going STRONG! 🙂 I look forward to your family posts now, and I’m pretty much obsessed with your fashion posts and i think about what you say when i shop!!! I LOVE the aldo shoes you posted (the wedges, and bought them! HAHA!) Your eating makes me feel better about gluten free, so i’d love to see more gluten free things on here!! oh and I follow you on facebook !! Of course 😉
I would love to see more of your budding family and how it affects your lifestyle and some more great meal ideas!
Happy blogiversary! What I’d like to see next year on fitnessista: More updates on Zumba, Dance rance, dance in general. I’m a big fan of both of those, would love to hear what it’s like to teach those formats 🙂
Congratulations on your 3 year blogoversary! Yours is my absolute favorite blog and I check my Google reader multiple times per day to read it. Thank you for everything you put into this blog, please know that all of your readers adore you and are always rooting for you 🙂

Congrats.!! You are one of my favorite blogs and the first one that I really got into when I discovered blogs.
-I am very excited to see your journey into parent hood and how things progress with this. I think it will be very exciting especially on how you take your health, eating and exercise habits into play.
Overall I love everything you do already..
I am looking to buy Toms and LOOOOVE the ones that you found!!
Wow, congrats on the blogiversary, thank you for letting us be a part of it! I hope that in the coming year you’ll give us more of your awesome combination of being kickass and laid-back at the same time!
I’m swooning over that zip-up… Fingers crossed. Congrats on 3 years mama. 🙂
In the next year I just want more of the same!! Even though I gave birth almost 9 years ago, I’m totally enjoying your “family” posts. So much has changed in 9 years!!! Congrats on your blogiversary!! I look forward to reading for many, many, many more years!
I want to see more of the family posts, they are wonderful!
Oh and I follow you on twitter!!
I think your blog is great and already inspiring!! I would like to see more recipes =)
I’ll be interested to see how your fitness regimen adapts to being pregnant and having a newborn. I’ve definitely made some changes in my own after having two kids, but it has felt great to get some “me” time in with my workouts.
Happy Blogiversary!
I’m really looking forward to reading your new family posts. I have serious baby fever and until I have my own someday I love hearing about others experiences (I like to pretend I’ll be a pro by the time it’s my turn 😛 )
Happy Anniversary!!! I am recently really loving the workouts you’re posting (Summer Shape Up) because I am clueless when it comes to lifting weights and love to have a plan!! I’m also really interested in reading all of your pregnancy posts!
I would love to see how you incorporate baby into your already jam packed life!
I love reading your blog every morning; it helps motivate me to get movin’ in the a.m.! I would love to see how your workouts change as you adjust to your growing bundle of joy 🙂 Congratulations on everything!
Congrats! Great give away. I assume you are not sending overseas but since you did not say so I will enter just in case 😉 I want to hear more about how you have maintained your weight loss (obviously there is your work and you eat well) but PT can gain weight and people can stop eating healthy..so how have you maintained and what helped 🙂
I’d love to see more workouts designed for outdoors. I’m too poor for the gym. But I’m kicking ass on the trails. 🙂
Congrats! I would love to see more of the same (yummy food, inspirational workouts!) and can’t wait for more family posts!
Happy blogiversary! In the coming year, I’d like to see more workouts that I can do at home with little equipment.
Congrats! I absolutely love your blog and following your life! I love your fitness and food tips so just keep those coming!
1. I LOVE your blog! I would love to hear about your growing family in the next year–congratulations again!
I already love everything you do on this blog. I look forward to your posts each and every day. I am so looking forward to watching your pregnancy journey and the continuing on to motherhood.
Congrats on the blogiversary!! I can’t wait to continue to follow your pregnancy journey and how it changes your lifestyle. I also love the workout posts!
Congrats on the success of your blog! Love reading it daily 🙂 I would love to read more about your food choices and how you find good gluten-free options. I really struggle with eating well then having a few bad days and then eating well. Consistency is a battle for me and was hoping you might have some tips!
I would love to see more workout routines.. Loving the summer shape up!!
