Hey hey! Happy Sunday! Hope you’re enjoying the weekend. It’s been raining a lot here, and we’ve been chilling as a family and relaxing. I hope that you’ve had a fun weekend with fitness events, productivity and time to hang out.

It’s hard to believe that we’re heading into the final week of Summer Shape Up! I’m so pumped to hear that you’ve enjoyed the challenge, and so many of you have already said you feel stronger and more energized since we started 3 weeks ago.

If you haven’t tried their probiotic nut butters, be on the lookout. They’re so good, and are the perfect travel or on-the-go snack. I’ll stash one in my purse with an apple to prevent the hanger beast, and also recently traveled with a few in my suitcase. (I like to get room service oatmeal and add my own nut butter and chia seeds.)

I also love adding them to my daily smoothies.

(This one had 1 cup almond milk, 1 heaping tablespoon Naturally More almond butter, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, lots of cinnamon, spinach, vanilla protein and a tablespoon of cocoa powder)

Simply leave a comment below with your fitness goal for the week, and two lucky winners will receive Naturally More prize packs. For an extra entry, follow me on Instagram (@fitnessista) and leave an extra comment.

I’ll announce the lucky winners in Friday Faves!

    My fitness goal for the week is to get in the workouts before work instead of after work.

  5. Paige o on August 7, 2017 at 7:09 am

    My goal is to get all the workouts in in the AM

  6. Bethany on August 7, 2017 at 7:14 am

    I just simply want 4 days of workouts. I am at 1 and will go to a new dance class tomorrow night.

    My goal for the week is to run 5 days this week.

  9. Stephanie S. on August 7, 2017 at 8:00 am

    My fitness goal for the week is to go to yoga tomorrow night (there’s free outdoor yoga down the street from my office every Tuesday evening, right by Lake Erie – it’s amazing) and to sign up for Physique 57 streaming service (and then do some of those videos!). I really loved your barre bootcamp – and can’t wait for the one in the fall! – and have been thinking about what else I can do in the meantime to get in more at-home workouts.

    My goal is to weight lift 3 days this week and get one to two days of cardio and hopefully a nice hike on Sunday

  12. Maeghan on August 7, 2017 at 8:24 am

    My fitness goal for the week is to begin a more structured strength plan.

  13. Maggie on August 7, 2017 at 9:10 am

    My goal is to integrate a couple days of heavy lifting in addition to my three tabata classes this week!

  15. Jennifer on August 7, 2017 at 9:36 am

    My goals are simple this week- just walk once a day. Maybe squeeze in a run or two. Sadly the hubby hurt his neck and can’t watch the baby as much, which means less workout time for me

  16. Kate Teodoro on August 7, 2017 at 9:43 am

    Continue to have zero sugar and get to the gym 4 days this week and run 2 mornings!!!! Would love to try this but butter!

  18. Jen on August 7, 2017 at 10:36 am

    My goal is to take my workout outside at least 3 times this week with hopefully an ocean swim thrown in!

  19. Amanda on August 7, 2017 at 10:41 am

    My goal this week is to make it to 4 classes because I leave Friday from work for a week-long vacation so this week is that pre-vacay frenzy!

  20. Amanda on August 7, 2017 at 10:44 am

    My bonus comment is the bonus yoga class I took on Friday. The instructor brought a bottle of wine! And poured a plastic cup of wine to anyone who wanted it during class! This wasn’t post-class drinks, but “sip water or wine if you need it” during the 75-min vinyasa class.

    • Fitnessista on August 7, 2017 at 11:08 am

      Totally doing this

    • Juliana on August 7, 2017 at 11:36 am

      Um where is this class? I need this in my life.

      • Amanda on August 7, 2017 at 12:22 pm

        It was the instructor’s first time ever doing the wine class but she thinks it may become routine after the awesome feedback! (She’s super sweet like that — she brought roses for moms on mother’s day and mini cupcakes for everyone on father’s day) Studio is in Boca Raton, FL.

  35. Amber Dillon on August 7, 2017 at 3:53 pm

    My fitness goal is to get 5 workouts in instead of 4. But also to get in a yoga sess, because I need the stretching!

    My fitness goal this week is to STAY BALANCED

  41. Katrina Veenstra on August 7, 2017 at 8:36 pm

    since the hubby is away my fitness goal for the week is to find alternatives to running for cardio… like brisk walks with baby in the ergo, toddler in the stroller and my oldest son on the bike! And probably a hiit in the evening I guess. ha! 😉

  44. Karlie on August 8, 2017 at 6:57 am

    I’m away on rotation (I’m in dental school) – so my goal for the week is to get in some type of movement everyday! Yesterday I went for a run with colleagues and yoga in my hotel room!
