Email me your size and color preferences (fitnessista at gmail dot com)

Thank you to everyone for entering! Stay tuned for Summer Shape Up giveaways starting next week!

___________________________________________________________

HOLY Shape Up!!! I am so thrilled that you’re as excited as I am for the challenge. Thank you so much to those of you who have already signed up! Keep an eye on your email for the password + all of the Shape Up details. You have until Friday to sign up if you haven’t already.

Along with the fun adventures of this past weekend, I also had the chance to do some cooking. I made some lactation oaties for a friend who just had twins:

Oatie dough  1 of 1 2

(I told the Pilot he would lactate if he ate any)

sautรฉed BBQ zucchini to go with lunch one afternoon

Zucchini  1 of 1 4

and some Paleo breadย for us to enjoy this week.

Paleo bread  1 of 1 4

The bread is an almost-weekly staple; I especially love it with a smear of sunflower seed butter and drizzle of honey.

In addition to the cooking, I had a few minutes to make a sell/donate stash from our closet.

Closet  1 of 1

I took some clothes to Buffalo Exchange to sell and I have to say, it’s a special kind of judgment when the sales associate digs through your clothing, deciding what they’ll keep. It’s an extra special type of judgment when said clothing buyer hardly takes anything from your pile, but has a heyday with the neon Forever 21 garb from the pile next to yours. I felt very old.

Usually when I go through my closet to donate and sell items, I have a pretty good idea of what I need to take to Goodwill, and what Buffalo might take. This time I was totally off!

It’s pretty easy for me to take clothes I’ll never wear again to make room in the closet, but the tried, true (and grungy) items tend to have a longer shelf life.

I have a few t-shirts that I love to lounge around in:

my Tiger Sharks shirt, any of the Pilot’s graphic tees (I especially love sleeping in them when he’s deployed), a few race/gym shirts

Shirt1

(still have that shirt, 3 years later)

and anything with soft Pima cotton.

Needless to say, I was pretty stoked when Reebok sent two super comfy tees this month as part of our partnership.

Tee  1 of 1

They fit well, have a nice stretch to them, and the luxurious fabric made me want to cry tears of joy. I can tell I’ll be wearing them a lot!

I loved the shirts so much that I asked Reebok if they’d like to do a giveaway and was so excited when they said yes.

One lucky winner will receive one of each of these shirts:

Tee  1 of 1 2

(the short sleeve V neckย and love fit tee)

All you have to do is leave a comment with your favorite T-shirt, or something in your closet you’ll always keep.

I’ll pick a random winner tomorrow (Wednesday, 5/29) at midnight EST.

Enjoy your night!

xoxo

Gina

    my fave thing that I still have is a well worn pair of Levis from 20 years ago-I was way smaller then, and I keep taking them out and looking at them wondering if I will ever have it in me to get back to that size again… I have to say, the way my health has been lately it is pretty darn tempting!

  2. Erin on May 28, 2013 at 11:38 pm

    My favorite t-shirt is my softball practice shirt that is *cough*12 years old*cough*. Time sure flies! ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Sam on May 28, 2013 at 11:39 pm

    Yes, I’m totally guilty of stealing my hubby’s shirts too! I have a lot of college sports shirts that I love to lounge/sleep in. ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. Lisa on May 28, 2013 at 11:40 pm

    I will always keep my college hoodie!

  5. Jenny L on May 28, 2013 at 11:40 pm

    I have a pair of Paige denim jeans that the company stopped making years ago. They fit perfectly and haven’t found anything better since. Now I”m trying to save them to keep them as long as I can!

    • Missy on May 29, 2013 at 5:44 am

      I have a pair of Paige jeans that I LOVE. I’ve had them for about 5 years. They are still in great shape.

  6. Paula on May 28, 2013 at 11:40 pm

    My favorite t-shirt is a big college shirt from my sister’s university.

  7. Jessica C. on May 28, 2013 at 11:41 pm

    I just purged a ton of stuff, too, but I always keep my husband’s college baseball tee (now, mine. ๐Ÿ˜‰ ). It’s so comfy and soft, and it’s his! I’ll keep it as long as it holds together!

  8. Mary on May 28, 2013 at 11:45 pm

    I’ve been lounging in my boyfriend’s navy sweatshirt ever since he left for deployment.

  9. Stacey T. on May 28, 2013 at 11:48 pm

    I’m preparing to move and have donated a bunch of clothes I no longer wear. But I can’t seem to part with my “traveling pants” jeans because they always fit so well despite being a bit old and frayed.

  10. Becky on May 28, 2013 at 11:49 pm

    I have this old t-shirt from the job I met my husband at. He HATES it but it is so comfy, perfectly soft and stained. I doubt ill ever get rid of it.

  11. Megan on May 28, 2013 at 11:51 pm

    I love love love an old Ohio state tshirt from college. I hope it never falls apart! ๐Ÿ™‚

  12. kellye on May 28, 2013 at 11:51 pm

    My favorite t-shirts are a few of my fiance’s old shirts from baseball. He is XXL and I swim in them but they are so comfortable and nice to wear when he is away for half of the year!

  13. Alissa on May 28, 2013 at 11:52 pm

    My college soccer practice t’s. So faded and worn but the best! Great memories too.

  14. Natasha on May 28, 2013 at 11:52 pm

    I love to wear my favorite NFL tshirt because it is worn in and super soft!

  15. Neena on May 28, 2013 at 11:54 pm

    I have a vintage Rolling Stones shirt that I will keep forever (the one with the huge tongue) – I neve wear it, but I love it!

  16. Lauren on May 28, 2013 at 11:58 pm

    I love my grey college sweatshirt. It’s big, it’s a quarter-zip, and soo comfy I love it.

  17. Amy Ramos on May 28, 2013 at 11:59 pm

    I have sweatshirt that hubby got me when were first dating almost 20 years ago. It is still in excellent condition. I only wear it when we go camping.

  18. Michelle on May 29, 2013 at 12:06 am

    I keep a lot of my old soccer shirts and jerseys. It’s so hard to part with those!

  19. Lizzy @ Lizzy Lives in LA on May 29, 2013 at 12:07 am

    My “something in my closet I’ll always keep” is everything!!! I oddly enough purged some clothes today as well, but I have a stack of t-shirts from races/events/old sports that I save. They are never worn, they’re just in the “just in case I want to look at it” pile. And well? Why not add two more Reebok shirts to that!! Just kidding! Those are super cute and I’d totally wear them!

  20. dominique on May 29, 2013 at 12:12 am

    I have a Marquette College of Engineering shirt that I wore all the time as an undergrad and the first couple years after graduating. It’s too small for me currently. (Lactating has seriously limited my wardrobe.) But it is one of those shirts I will never get rid of. On the back are all these hilarious engineer jokes like “theory is a joke, not so funny in lab” and “a horse is a sphere if it makes the numbers easier”.

  21. Anna on May 29, 2013 at 12:18 am

    I have an old gray t-shirt from a high-school volleyball camp that I love. After 9 years its wearing thin, but its SO comfy. It is going to fall into pieces before I ever get rid of it.

  22. AmyC on May 29, 2013 at 12:26 am

    Love the pinkie-red shirt! I will always keep my Fryes!

  23. PluvK on May 29, 2013 at 12:29 am

    I have this big, blue sweatshirt I got from a trip overseas. It’s about twelve years old and – even though it is SO not my style now – I’ll never get rid of it. I wore it all through college!

  24. lisa on May 29, 2013 at 12:30 am

    I love to wear my husband’s Calgary Flames hockey shirt. So comfy!

  25. melissa on May 29, 2013 at 12:30 am

    Hmmm I dont think I’ll ever be able to throw away my old high school cross country shirts… I’m proud I still fit in them! haha

  26. Lauren on May 29, 2013 at 12:32 am

    I have several old t-shirts from concerts, travels and college that I don’t wear anymore but can’t get rid of either. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  27. jasmine on May 29, 2013 at 12:41 am

    I have this old little mermaid sleeping gown a friend gave me when I was six. It was huge on me then but I loved it and still do, now it fits me like a long shirt.

  28. Cynthia on May 29, 2013 at 12:42 am

    I have a huge college sweatshirt that is literally fraying at every seam! It should be embarrassing, but I wear it all the time- shamelessly!

  29. liz @ sweat-happy.com on May 29, 2013 at 12:47 am

    My favorite tshirt is a super soft crossfit shirt that my boyfriend designed!

  30. Melissa on May 29, 2013 at 12:48 am

    I have so many t-shirts dating back years. The most comfy ones are always the old dated shirts. They’re perfectly worn in & to top it off they’re all vintage styles ๐Ÿ™‚

  31. Katy on May 29, 2013 at 12:49 am

    My favorite t-shirt is an old PE shirt from 9th grade. It’s comfy, worn in, and still fits! Even though it’s 10 years old, I can’t part with it because I met my Fiance in 9th grade and it reminds me of him! ๐Ÿ™‚

  32. Ashleigh on May 29, 2013 at 1:17 am

    Old college t shirt

  33. Melanie on May 29, 2013 at 1:17 am

    I love the red tshirt – it looks long enough for my long torso which is always a challenge!

  34. Esther on May 29, 2013 at 1:22 am

    My favourite t-shirt, is the one that my fiancรฉ gave me for Christmas. It says “sunday funday”. Since we started dating, Sundays have been the only full day that we get to spend together.

  35. olviya on May 29, 2013 at 1:35 am

    Favorite t-shirt has got to be my loose & flowy cotton tee. Never gets old. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  36. Carolyn on May 29, 2013 at 1:36 am

    I can’t get rid of t shirts. They all have some sort of sentimental value to me.

  37. Amy on May 29, 2013 at 1:45 am

    Oh my goodness! You didn’t purge the unicorn tears speed shorts did you? I think my eye spotted them, lol. I’m guilty of keeping everything. My favorite t shirt is all of them. I’m a clothing packrat.

  38. Tracey on May 29, 2013 at 1:47 am

    A piece of clothing that will always be in my closet is my first gymnastics state sweater my parents bought me in 2005 that has all the gymnasts’ name ironed on the back with a star next to my name and any other logo that I wanted ironed onto.

  39. Holly G. on May 29, 2013 at 1:54 am

    My favorite t-shirts are the ones I buy while traveling. Not matter how cheap the material, or how cheesy the quote on the back, I’ll never throw them out because of all the memories involved.

  40. Kali on May 29, 2013 at 2:13 am

    I’m born and raised in Olympia, WA. I’ll always keep my SOFT original Oly Girl T-shirt.

  41. Jules on May 29, 2013 at 2:21 am

    I will always keep my pair of jeans from when I was 55 pounds heavier. They are the only item of clothing I have from that time and they remind me that healthy choices not only make me feel good, but they mean being able to buy pants at any store.

  42. Vicki on May 29, 2013 at 2:22 am

    I have a ‘Save Ferris’ t-shirt I bought in about 1991 that has the quote from the movie ‘it’s understanding that makes it possible for people like us to tolerate a person like yourself’ on the back. I wore it to university originally and it’s been a sleep shirt favourite for over 15 years, living on three different continents. It’s soft and comfy and I will keep it forever!

  43. Taylor on May 29, 2013 at 2:49 am

    My favourite t-shirt is one of my dad’s old t-shirts. It is big, worn, soft, and super comfy. I brought it with me to college and will wear it until it falls apart. It reminds me of the example of what a great dad and husband he is and how he is my hero. Every time I put it on it is like being enveloped in a big embrace from my dad. I love him so much.

  44. Lucie on May 29, 2013 at 2:50 am

    I have a bootcut Diesel Jeans in my closet which was a present from my boyfriend at that time 10 years ago. I had to sew it several times cause it gets thinner and thinner, but I can’t throw it away, I still wear it and love it!!

  45. Lindsey on May 29, 2013 at 2:58 am

    My favorite t-shirt is the one I got in my teens for placing first in a dance competition, I’ll always keep and cherish it!

  46. Julie on May 29, 2013 at 3:12 am

    I love all my high school soccer tshirts. They are deeply worn in.

  47. Bethany on May 29, 2013 at 3:14 am

    I’ll probably always keep one my dad’s old plaid shirts.

  48. Allison on May 29, 2013 at 3:20 am

    I have a t-shirt pile of a few memorable shirts from college that I have no intention of wearing, but keep in the bottom of a drawer just because they represent a connection to such a fun time with great friends.

  49. Caitlin on May 29, 2013 at 3:24 am

    My favorite tshirt is from my 7th grade crew team – I’ve had it for almost 15 years, it is so soft and I can’t get rid of it!

  50. Laura on May 29, 2013 at 4:07 am

    I love love love the pink love fitness one, I keep hearing nothing but good things about it on blogs and can’t seem to find it anywhere. I’m in need of a good clear out of my closet, but always feel nervous “what if I do want to wear it again someday?” Pop into the back of my mind. Needless to say a ruthless clear out is needed ASAP! Thank you for another wonderful giveaway Gina! L xoxo
