    Hi Gina,

    I’d like to see more military wife related posts (stuff on moving, getting through deployment, finding resources in your new area etc) and maybe a simple weight training video. Thanks and have a merry Christmas!



  2. Holly D on December 22, 2010 at 7:36 pm

    I would love to see yoga sequences/yoga pose of the day/week, etc!



    • Julie on December 22, 2010 at 7:38 pm

      That’s so funny – we just posted the same thing at the same time!



  3. Julie on December 22, 2010 at 7:37 pm

    I’d love to see some of your favorite yoga poses or flows! A series on yoga or a weekly yoga workout would be fun!



  4. Jen on December 22, 2010 at 7:40 pm

    I’d love to see more of the 5 minute workout videos. And the product reviews are great, too!



  5. Samantha on December 22, 2010 at 7:41 pm

    I keep hoping one of these days I’ll win some of your ‘roons…I make my own but these are so hyped up they are a must try!

    I’d like to see more of how to incorporate raw/healthy eats on a time crunched schedule…and/or kid friendly healthy eats. As a busy mom of two running at home business, being a military wife, and volunteering…sometimes just getting dressed is an accomplishment! (Ok, maybe posts on time management too? ha ha!)



  6. Marg on December 22, 2010 at 7:44 pm

    I love what you’re doing now, but more workout plans would be nice.

    I would love to see you macaroon recipe. JK. I know you won’t post that…my sister and I currently have 2 batches (well…4 if you consider the fact that we made half chocolate have normal batches) in the dehydrator. Nom.

    But seriously, I’d love to see quick fixes and things that are easy to make and pack for an entire day away from home (5AM to 11PM some days).

I also love when you post any recipes so definitely more of those! Your blog is one of my favorites so thank you for all the time and hard work you put into it! Happy Holidays 🙂



  28. Lindsay on December 22, 2010 at 8:18 pm

    I would love to see a post where you talk about what you would buy at a grocery store that isnt: Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, or Any Designer Grocery Store. I think it would be nice to see how the Fitnessista does on a smaller grocery budget. I know that I personally couldnt afford to shop at all of the nice grocery stores you go to and I would love to see what you would buy at Wal-Mart or Aldi or Similar.



  29. Kristen on December 22, 2010 at 8:18 pm

    I would love to see more workout reviews – especially DVDs like the Firm, Cathe Frierich, Jari Love, Squeeze, Exhale Core Fusion, etc.

    In the upcoming year, I’d like to see more yoga-esque posts. Different poses, with detailed explanations, and little tips for those of us that don’t always have time to make it to the studio.
    Otherwise, just keep on doing what you’re doing 🙂
