Sweet Friday Giveaway
Hi friends! How are you?
[The Bella ball says “Happy Friday]
It’s another lovely, cool day over here. It’s very refreshing to walk outside without being blasted with heat.
I’m a little late blogging this morning since I had to take my car to the dealership to be serviced. The good news is that they offered me a loaner car to have for the day, but I can’t find the emergency brake on it and keep picturing it rolling back from the driveway and crashing into our across-the-street neighbor’s mailbox.
I packed up some oats with almond milk and a crumbled Chocolate Cherry Torte Larabar to take with me to the dealership:
and couldn’t help but notice this surplus of almonds while I was scrounging for breakfast ingredients.
Since it would take forever to polish off that giant bag of almonds by myself, I think they’re destined for macaroon glory.
So how about a little giveaway?
Since the weather is cooling down, I thought it would be fun to talk about how you change and adapt your workouts in the fall weather.
For this giveaway, just leave a comment and let me know what your favorite fall/winter workout is. For me, I take more of my workouts outside to take advantage of the cooler temps, and when it actually gets to the freezing point, lots of hot yoga to warm up.
I’ll pick a random winner tonight at midnight and announce in my am post. The winner will receive a batch of macaroons in a flavor of their choice (chocolate, mocha, blonde, super roon, almond butter chocolate, Meyer lemon lavender).
Just to make things a little more fun, I’ll also add in a $50 Sephora gift card to celebrate all of the new fall colors and shimmer collections that are out.
Hope this makes your Friday a little sweeter!
See ya later today with a Family post <3
xoxo
Gina
********************************This giveaway has ended. Stay tuned for the next one!
What a great post for a Friday. 🙂 Woo! My fave winter workout would be BodyBump, for sure. I don’t have it at my gym now and I miss it so much!!
I am finally running again! Not that it has so much to do with the change in seasons but that my knee is finally getting better. Either way it puts a smile on my face 🙂
AWESOME Friday giveaway Gina!! My favourite fall/winter workout is spinning – when it’s cold outside, working up a sweat on the bike feels oh so good! 🙂
Love running outside in the fall. It feels so energizing!
Since it get’s well below zero here, winter and fall is a time to take to the gym and amp up heavy lifting!
Hiking just seems right in the Fall!
Running outside, love the crisp fall air, and beautiful fall colors 🙂
I love Fall Bootcamp because it is just cool enough outside not to get too sweaty! 🙂
Running! It’s typically way too hot to run outside here during the summer so it’s nice to get outside of the gym in late fall.
I love running in the cooler temps after training in the summer! It really makes me feel like I’m a speed demon once I’m not roasting!
I live in Minne-snow-ta, so when the weather gets cold, I move from running outdoors, to running at the gym. My goal is to swim regularly as well this winter.
I LOVE running outside this time of year…I’m in Louisiana and just being about to tolerate an outdoor run after a long, hot summer feels amazing!
Such perfect timing! I took advantage of the gorgeous weather today by taking my run outside! I also love to add hot yoga in the winter. I’ve been dying to try your roon’s forever so I hope I win!!!
I live in Georgia where the fall and winter are very mild (as you know). So for me it’s the time to resume running outside! Also love to go biking with the hubs.
My favorite Fall/Winter workout is CardioBarre! Gets my muscles all warmed up! 🙂
I keep running outside…something about running in the snow is exciting to me! I want to try Cyclocross riding…my husband does it and it seems like a blast!
Yay Sephora and macaroons!!
Our winters are BRUTAL here (Canadian prairies) so outdoor workouts aren’t really an option for most of the winter. I do love practicing yoga in the mornings – it’s so peaceful with the snow falling and the city quiet before the work hour rush. Lovely way to start the day and brace myself for the cold winter blast that hits me when I step outside 🙂
Hi Gina! Such a fabulous giveaway. I’m all about yoga these days, so that’s going to be my staple throughout the winner for sure. Although! I have been surprising myself lately by getting out for some morning runs throughout the week. There is nothing better than that cool, crisp fall air and running toward a rising sun.
I live in Arizona too, so my favorite is hiking! Back out on the trails now that it’s cooling off! I also love all the races that start up in the fall. I have a 5k next weekend and am signed up for 2 a month every month until next April! YAY!
My favorite fall workout is running outside!! I’m such a baby when it comes to hot weather that I treadmill it all summer…but once fall hits, I’m outside! And for winter, I can’t wait for skiing!
I really enjoy walking outside with my husband in the Fall . It’s our favorite season and there is something invigorating about breathing in the crisp fall air while out walking!
Now that fall is here I’ve been running outside a lot. In the winter I usually do indoor swimming, yoga or spinning something to get me warm!
We live across the street from a HUGE park so I take cardio kickboxing classes there and love it! It’s another reason fall is so amazing 🙂
Running outside! I only wish I had a dog to join me :*(
What a great giveaway!!! My favorite fall/winter workout is defintely Bodypump! I love it, for the cardio part, I like Bodyattack!
I love running outside in the fall! It is not too hot or too cold and so I can run faster than usual and for longer. I also love hot yoga to warm up once winter comes. Your roons sound magical – the winner is one lucky lady (or gent)! 😉
What a fun giveaway!
Out here in Utah, it gets pretty chilly during the fall and winter months, so instead of moving outside, I move inside. I love group fitness classes and treadmill interval workouts. They make time fly by and I always feel like I get a great workout when I’m done.
I love the fall/ winter time.. I somehow always feel more energized… I love to go running outside!! =]
I love running outdoors in state parks when the weather cools down and the leaves start changing!! Sweet giveaway!
I like to run in the fall when it’s cool and I’m all about running and lifting at our house in the winter…we are fortunate enough to have a gym above our garage. 🙂
Definitely walking outside — I hate walking in the heat, but love it when it’s cooler.
Gina, you are awesome! I’d love the almond-butter chocolate ones!
Just finished a fall boot camp. Cool crisp morning workouts which dont leave you too sweaty to get ready for work!
Hot yoga!
Running outside – I live really close to a beautiful park that overlooks the river, and this time of year the weather is just perfect. Not too hot and not too cold.
my favourite fall workout is mountain biking! The trails are gorgeous at this time of year! I’m with you on doing hot yoga when the temp drops below zero!
Good morning lady! haha, I am sure that your car will be fine and stable! My favourite fall work outs have to be getting outside for a brisk walk. The crisp and cool air always feels so nice! Especially in the early evening, it is the best! I also do love to do some hot yoga too, keeps things toasty warm and cozy.
Fall is my favorite season and the weather just screams for some outdoor activity. So I will definitely be taking advantage of the cool, crisp season (in Maryland) with some outdoor runs. I signed up for my first 10k on Thanksgiving and have already begun to enjoy training outside without our usual summer heat and humidity!
My favortie fall workout is speed walking and jogging.
Love this giveaway!! My favorite fall workout is spinning and yoga!! Spinning gets me super sweaty (just in time for the temp. change( and yoga makes me feel so relaxed!
Those look great! Being from the Smoky Mountains, my favorite thing to do in the fall is to hike! Its a workout, but it is so pretty and you get to do it with people you love. 🙂
Now that its cooler, I take full advantage of October to run outside. As soon as the snow starts falling, I’ll move indoors for my favorite fitness classes: spinning, body pump, and step aerobics!
I love doing mid day activities outside that I would usually push off until later in the day/night over the summer like long walks with the pup or my long runs. Or being able to sleep in a bit on the weekends and get a nice long hike done. I’m looking into joining a local gym for some group fitness classes since outdoor running will be put on hold (Colorado gets a little too cold for that).
So generous!! I live for a hot vinyasa in the winter. I’m always cold no matter how much I bundle up so I look forward to yoga to warm me up! Thanks for the giveaway!
The fall “season” in Chicago only lasts about 2 weeks so I love to take advantage of the cooler/pleasant weather by biking the trails near my house!
Running in the crisp morning air, perfect way to start my day!
Right now I’m loving running through all the gorgeous Fall leaves! The crinkling under my feet of fallen leaves on the path never fails to make me smile 🙂
Love outdoor running in the fall. And any high-intensity cardio at the gym, like Zumba or Spin, is great this time of year, too, because it feels good to step outside into a nice cool breeze after sweating for an hour 🙂
Living in Chicago, I have to move my workouts inside more. I add in more classes at the gym and hot yoga to stay warm and change up my routine!
what a great way to start the weekend! 🙂 I love to run/walk outside with my dogs during the fall months and I love swimming in winter months (indoors of course). Have a great weekend!
