For today’s giveaway, I’ve been cooking.. or uncooking up a little something. Our dehydrator is full of macaroons, and I’d love to give them to one of you, along with some other fun holiday treats/goodies.
I’ll also be ordering a copy of “HIIT IT!” (which has ALL of my macaroon recipes inside!) for the winner, which is a favorite thing because a lot of love went into making it. I poured my heart, soul, and fitness knowledge into the pages, and am so excited to share it with you all.
Some of the things you’ll find in “HIIT It!”:
-A thorough HIIT background: how it works, and how to use it in your own routine
-FULL weekly fitness plans depending on how many days you can train each week
-Workouts that can be completed in 30 minutes or less with body weight and dumbbells alone
-My HIIT style of eating, macro counting, and delicious recipes that can be made in advance to be enjoyed throughout the week
-All of my macaroon recipes 🙂
In addition to the macaroons and book, I’ll also be including some fun holiday goodies, like teas, chocolate, peppermint bark, whatever I see that looks fun. 😉

Favorite (new) tradition is watching my young niece open gifts. There’s nothing like it!
My favorite holiday tradition is reading Twas The Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve and making Christmas Cookies!
I asked for your book for Christmas and I pre-ordered it for my best friend as a Christmas present! Love your blog! Those Macaroons look amazing!!!!
My favorite holiday tradition is playing games with my family after Christmas dinner.
Every Christmas Eve, my dad and I attend a midnight church service. Growing up, I always spent Christmas Eve with my mom and her side of the family, so this was a tradition we began when I was still in high school as an opportunity to spend some extra time together. 🙂
We always have a pre-celebration on Christmas Eve with dinner and then we each open 1 gift. This year I started doing Elf on a Shelf and that is definitely a new favorite. Pre-order the book. Can’t wait for recipes and at home workouts.
I love Christmas morning at my mom’s house. Breakfast and homemade mochas in our PJs, Christmas music, and watching loved ones enjoying their gifts!
And as an extra comment, I preordered your book the day you announced we could on your blog! Can’t WAIT to get it in the mail! 🙂
I love baking christmas cookies with my family and then distributing them to other family and friends on Christmas Eve!
Watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” and crying my eyes out!
I love baking Christmas cookies with my mom! We make some of the same every year and always try a new recipe. It’s so fun and yummy!
watching cheesy holiday movies with my little sister!
My husband and I have an annual Christmas Cocktail party each year, where we invite our closest friends and fit into our one-bedroom apartment, blast Michael Buble’s holiday album and drink our faces off. It’s great.
My favorite tradition is adding something home-made to whatever it is we’re doing.
Oh my – Holiday traditions are the best! I love Christmas eve tradition of our girls only tea party followed by dinner preps, Christmas eve service, opening one present before bed and watching a christmas movie in front of the tea with the lights on and going to bed with dreams of sugarplums! 🙂
My favorite holiday tradition is hanging out with my family. We’re in opposite sides of the country, so I really relish the time we get to spend together during the holidays!
My favorite tradition is making homemade cinnamon rolls to freeze and give to friends and family!
We go to the Christmas candlelight service on Christmas Eve and get together at my step-grandmother’s house!
Pre-ordered your book and can’t wait to get it! I’ve been in a bit of a rut since starting my new bachelors program at NAU and I’m looking forward to some new inspiration!
Every year my mom gets us Christmas pjs we open and wear on Christmas eve
Holiday traditions are a huge childhood memory for me. So i really try to create those same memories for my kids. I have several faves. One that sticks out is christmas decorating night. It’s like a family party. Fun festive snacky foods for dinner, christmas music playing, kids in their new christmas jammies. Growing up this was one of my favorite days of the year. … Just time together with my family. Two new things I’ve added for my own children are each night going through a reading for our Jesse Tree. And each morning opening our little wooden advent calendar to see what our christmas activity for the day is. Some days don’t require alot of time so it’s “dance to christmas music”. Others could be “shop for someone in need”. I could go on and on. …. memory making is important to me and I think traditions are a huge part of that.
I love going to pick out a tree, and then coming home to put it up and listen to christmas music and how cozy the house feels 🙂
I preordered several weeks ago. So excited about your book!! If i get a second copy it’ll be a gift for someone.
My favorite holiday tradition is spending Christmas eve with my family playing “dirty santa”
My favorite holiday tradition is Christmas eve with my entire family. My grandma always made Christmas eve the most special day of the year for all of us. After opening Christmas presents my cousin and I would put on our new pjs and dance to Feliz navidad in the kitchen 🙂
My favorite holiday traditions didn’t use to be so important to me as they’ve come to be. I like having the smell of pine around the house and, of course, a Christmas tree lit (with colored lights). Making Christmas cookies was a tradition I haven’t done in a while. We used to cut out candy canes, trees, stars, and bells out of the dough, bake them, and then ice them (my favorite part growing up). We had to be careful, though, or my dog’s tongue would reach a few near the edge of the table and then, well, they were his. After moving out, I also missed the Christmas Day presents in the morning and just a lazy day at home. Nothing terribly adventurous or unique about these traditions, but they’re important to me 🙂
I love decorating extra large gingerbread men with my daughter.
sending out holiday cards!
Favourite holiday tradition is definitely getting together with family around dec 24 to celebrate my aunt’s birthday, and then seeing everyone again for Christmas dinner at my parents house 🙂
Loads of Christmas cookie baking
Congrats on your book! It sounds fantastic! Riding around looking at Christmas lights with my loved ones and a cup of hot cider/coffee is one of my favorite traditions!
I already preordered the book, but have to enter the contest for a chance at the macaroons! I have lots of friends i can gift the extra copy to!
My favorite holiday tradition is making Swedish pancakes on Christmas morning. It never gets old.
PS… Just preordered my copy!! Merry early Christmas to me!!!
My favorite holiday tradition is opening presents with my family. We take turns and watch each other open them one by one so that we can make the fun last longer.
Selecting and decorating the tree!
I really like decorating my whole home and watching the cheesiest of Christmas movies 🙂
My favorite tradition is opening our stockings before everything else. It’s always fun to see the little treats in each!
going to midnight mass!!
My favorite holiday tradition is watching cheesy movies while drinking spiked cider and baking. It’s cozy and delicious!
My favorite holiday tradition is playing games with my family on Christmas Eve!
Every year since I can remember, I make christmas cookies all day with my aunt to hand out as gifts. It’s something I look forward to every year!
My favorite holiday tradition is the late night worship on Christmas eve where we light candles and sing songs softly into the night, then when you leave church – it’s Christmas Day! As a child, I would look into the sky and hope that I saw santa!
Love your generous giveaways, Gina!
My favorite Christmas tradition is Christmas jammies on Christmas eve! (And dinner with my family Christmas evening).
We went to a party last night hosted by fitness lovers, and all of us wore jingle bells and glow necklaces, and we did a 3 mi run/walk around their neighborhood to look at the lights. We came back together and sang Christmas carols on the corner of their street while neighbors came out to applaud, and then went back inside to enjoy posole. The perfect Christmas party!
I’ve pre-ordered your book, but would love to give a copy to a friend if I win! Thanks for all your hard work and inspiration!
Favorite Christmas tradition is decorating the yard with Christmas lights. We lived in a tiny apartment last year and missed out on this event– so I was really excited this past weekend to decorate outside our new place!
Favorite Holiday tradition is driving around looking at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve!!!
