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

My favorite workout is definitely running–I am going to have to find a new Fall favorite for October though. Doctor said no running, spinning, or lower body weights for a month! I have a feeling my bike and I will become good friends! 🙂
Hi!! I love to take my workout outside at the basketball courts in my neighborhood. I use the length of the court for various walking lunges, lateral movements, etc. It alot of fun!
Definitely running! It’s the perfect temps, and the changing leaves are so beautiful.
Hot yoga is absolutely my favorite winter workout. 🙂
although i do hot yoga year-round, i especially love it in the winter because my body just melts into my mat after a brisk walk from the car in the cooler temps!
Honestly, I am not sure since this is my first winter working out. I know more outdoor walking will be involved with my son. I am hoping to convince the Zumba class instructor to go outside on a couple of the days.
I run year-round, but fall is the only time that I really LOVE it!
Running is my favorite fall workout, while hot yoga in the winter is amazing 😉
after my 1st (!!) marathon on nov. 6th i’m taking a much needed rest from running and committing myself to a strength training program for a few months, most likely chalene extreme!
As the temps cool down I take my running to the streets. I have been on a treadmill most of the summer round these parts here in Texas because the humidity is super intense. I also do more Bikrahm yoga, it feels better to practice yoga in a hot room when the temps are cold outside, makes me look forward to something!
I am going to first answer this with my LEAST favorite winter workout which is shoveling. Oh, how I loath any kind of outdoor winter activity but shoveling snow is the bane of my existence. I don’t care how many calories it burns, LoL.
Okay my favorite workout in the winter is Spin. I love that it has the same effects and outcome as running but I don’t have to freeze my buns off.
Running the BMX trail at my local park! Killer cardio and my butt is sore for days.
I’ve never won a giveaway or anything really so THIS IS IT! Um my workouts… well I’ve been dealing with an injury for almost 2 years but I’m trying to stay positive even though I can’t workout like I’d like, I can still walk and see all the beautiful fall leaves. 🙂 So WALKING!
I love running in the fall! Not to cold, no to hot, just right.
i started grad school this fall and things are super busy, so it’s been a challenge to find time to work out. but im making it work with quick runs outside and HIIT. and i even tried zumba with some new friends!
My favorite work out is just walking outside and looking at all of the beautiful leaves that have changed. Seriously an amazing sight!
I really want to try hot yoga but nothing really near to me that’s easy access. Running for me!
I live in the NC mountains- this weather is perfect for trail running as the leaves change. Perfect for Fall!
My favorite fall or winter workout is BodyPump! Of course, that’s my favorite workout all the time 🙂
I love to take my workouts outside in the fall! The fresh air is amazing!!
I really get into running in the fall and winter – for some reason, I love running in the cool and cold weather. and also taking my pup for more hikes!!!
I like jogging in the morning, followed by a steaming hot shower!
I would have to say tabatas on the treadmill…I don’t have a lot of time in the fall and winter as I am a teacher and they get me feeling like I had a great workout in a short amount of time… which is always a plus! 🙂
macaroons AND sephora?! 🙂 my favorite fall workout would be hiking on mild days when the leaves are changing
I live in the Pacific Nortrhwest, which means its been cold here for weeks, plus it rains so much! I’ve actually brought my workouts back indoors – hello again to the elliptical and treadmilll!
My favorite fall/winter workout is intervals on the treadmill or a hot bikram yoga class!
My favorite fall workout is a track workout at the high-school track. Talk about HIIT Training! Sprints, bleachers, jog, lunges, more bleacher runs. Plus I bring a medicine ball and exercise bands to make every muscle happy. I love it…and my kids love coming to join in or cheer me on.
Favorite fall winter workouts biking and hot yoga!
I LOVE FALL!! I like to do running during the fall because it’s not too hot, but you aren’t freezing your buns off either
Normally each Fall I would be training for the half marathon I do with my family in Niagara Falls. However, this summer I got hit by a car and I am nursing a knee injury. So no half marathon for me. 🙁 I am slowly getting back into the swing of things and my favorite workout is when my spin instructor moves class outside. Fresh fall air, beautiful scenery all the while sweating your booty off.
Love some Bikram yoga in the colder months. It warms my heart and soul!
I live in Portland, Oregon and hot yoga makes me feel so much better living amongst months of miserable cold rain! Love it!
Last fall, it was running, but this year it’s flag football and Turbofire. Our football games are at 9:30 at night, and it’s FREEZING in Seattle then, but once the game gets going, I totally forget about the temparture 🙂
I live in NH, so it gets cold here! I prefer to keep my workouts outside though, so I do lots of snow shoeing and cross country skiing, then warming up in a hot tub of course!
Bikram yoga! Love being warm. Also walks outside with my dog, since those are mandatory.
For me it would be walking and hiking! So glad the terrible heat finally broke in FL! Now I can finally get out for walks! And will go camping soon so we can do a little hiking! Just talked to my Dr today about getting back some energy!
Love the variety of Cloth Diapers now! When my kids were in diapers, you had one choice of cloth or disposable! I generally used the disposable, but I did have some cloth ones for backup! I could have rolled with all cloth if i had had these options!
My favorite fall/winter workout is the same as my favorite spring/summer workout: RUNNING! It’s just easier and a lot more enjoyable outside once the temperature finally drops out of the 90s/100s here in Texas! Thanks for offering another awesome ‘roon giveaway!!
I love to run in the morning when it is cool outside. I love fall mornings.
I spend a lot of my weekends in Vermont so I try to take in the beautiful fall foliage by taking walks up and down the local hills.
First time poster bit long time reader – big fan!

My new fall workout fave is taking our new puppy for a run. He actually slows me down and distracts me the whole time…. and I just love it 🙂
My favorite fall workout is Pure Barre! It’s inside & I wear all my favorite lululemon pants to the class! 🙂
Hot yoga and spin! I def workout more in the cold months since there isn’t much else to do when it’s 5 degrees and a foot of snow!
Running and hiking are my faves! in all weather!
I do more outside working out as well since it’s not so humid. I also do a lot more hiking.
I LOVE my Bar Method classes!
Going for runs when the night cools down but the sun is still up is my favorite thing ever! 🙂
favorite fall workout: running outside and zumba inside 🙂
I love to do P90X during the winter! I love that I can do it inside, and it’s still a killer workout. Although, I do sometimes enjoy going for a run outside in the crisp temperatures!
I always look forward to taking my workout outside since I live in Texas and this is the only time it is bearable! Walking, Running, Hiking, and Biking are all favorites of mine!
Oh my gosh I love love love to run outside when it cools off! I am sooo looking forward to some cool morning runs 🙂
