Week of giveaways: Final Giveaway- ENDED

This week has been pretty much amazeballs. Thank you again to everyone for participating, sending blog love, and for your kind and wonderful comments. I’m truly lucky to *know* all of you, and am also grateful to the companies who generously sponsored the week of giveaways.

Congratulations to the Home Goods giveaway winner!

“I LOVE the poppy flower wall decals in my kitchen. They do a great job brightening up the space.”

Please send me your info (fitnessista at gmail dot com, subject: HOME GOODS WINNER!) and I’ll get your prize on the way 🙂

Today’s giveaway, the final one, is sponsored by one of my all-time favorite workout companies, along with Livi and Bella.

I fell in love with Physique 57 two years ago, and if we had a studio in Tucson, it would be one of my regular workout spots. Nothing has made my thighs thighs and biscuits burn quite like P57. I’m so glad they have DVDs you can do at home if you don’t have a studio near you, and I’ve done the DVDs quite a few times in addition to the usual workout suspects. I see and feel a huge difference when I have P57 in my life, and anytime I’m in NY or LA I’m excited to take a live class.

The winner of this giveaway will receive a volume 2 Physique 57 DVD, courtesy of Physique 57,

and will also win a Polar FT40 heart rate monitor, which I’ll order for you,

plus a batch of custom macaroons (chocolate, mocha, blonde, super roon with cacao nibs and goji berries, or Meyer-lemon lavender)

and whatever Whole Foods/TJs goodies find their way into the box 😉

I absolutely love my Polar heart rate monitor and wear it for all of my high-intensity workouts. Since I know how much I’m burning, I can get an idea of how much more I need to eat that day, and I always push myself a little harder when I can see how hard I’m working. It’s a fantastic workout tool and was even more helpful while I was pregnant, so I knew not to let my heart rate get too crazy high.

-With the Summer Shape Up beginning this week, this giveaway will end on FRIDAY, 6/15.

This giveaway has ended! Congratulations to the winner, Natalie.

This is my favorite giveaway so far the DVDs and the polar monitor are some things I have wanted for a very long time but I could never afford them on my own! There are sooo many reasons I have been reading this blog for the past four years but mainly because you offer so much variety! I love the Focus On post, they may be my favorite and I go back to them frequently whenever I’m deciding to try a new fitness class or DVD. I’m only 21 but I love the family post because I take of a baby full time, and you have been very helpful! I would like to see more videos! Things like how to’s (more hair ideas please!) , product reviews, fitness challenges/ quick workout videos. Hope this helps :)

Thank you so much to all of you for your amazing feedback, comments and sweet wishes. I’m so fortunate to have you in my life, and stay tuned for many more giveaways!

Thank you all so much for reading my little blog and for hanging out with me over here <3

Here’s to another amazing year!

xoxo

    I wish I could offer some great suggestions, but you do such a great job of giving us just the right amount of fitness tips and work-outs, music suggestions, Livi cuteness, Pilot candy :D, meal ideas and recipes, fashion ideas, family and home stuff, etc. Just keep it up and we’ll keep logging in everyday!

  3. Ashley on June 10, 2012 at 7:30 pm

    Hey! I love love love the work out portions (I have a bunch saved in my phone so I can do them at the gym regularly) so I’m super looking forward to summer shape up! 🙂
    I have no negative feedback cuz honestly, your blog is great 🙂 as a fellow AF wife, I feel a certain connection. Keep up the great work 😀

  4. samantha on June 10, 2012 at 7:31 pm

    I love the family posts – keep them coming! 🙂 With a little one on the way due in August, it’s fun to read about your journey with Livi. Thanks for the awesome giveaways this week – hoping to win this one to help work on my own “body after baby”!

  5. ash on June 10, 2012 at 7:32 pm

    I love everything having to do with food & fitness!

  9. Dawn on June 10, 2012 at 7:37 pm

    I love seeing all of your meals, making it all seem so doable. You have encouraged me to try food combinations that I never thought I would. Keep up the great posts! I check in daily! I also love to see new pics of Livi!!

  10. Amanda on June 10, 2012 at 7:37 pm

    I love the recipes you post and would always love more!

  11. rachel on June 10, 2012 at 7:38 pm

    This is the best giveaway yet. I love your summer workouts and look foward to your new one!

  12. Taryn on June 10, 2012 at 7:38 pm

    The thing I love most about your blog is the fact that you update it frequently. I love being able to check back throughout the day to something new and exciting!

  13. Mandy M on June 10, 2012 at 7:38 pm

    What an awesome giveaway!
    What I love about your blog: your daily eats, your workouts, how down to earth you are.
    I honestly don’t think I’d change anything. Yours is one of the few blogs I check every day, so that must be saying something!

  14. Pam on June 10, 2012 at 7:39 pm

    I absolutely love how you talk about everything and anything going on with your life. It makes your blog so much more real and relatable. Just keep up all the great work! Oh and the workouts are awesome. I just wish I didn’t hurt my foot and were able to do them. 🙂

  15. Erica on June 10, 2012 at 7:40 pm

    Love the blog! Would love to see more recipes, but honestly there’s no need to change anything.

  16. Michelle on June 10, 2012 at 7:40 pm

    I love the workout posts and pictures of how to do everything, makes it so much easier to try new things!

  17. Sarah S on June 10, 2012 at 7:40 pm

    i really love your blog as it is! if i had to request something though, it’d be more posts about being a military wife. i know for safety reasons that there are obviously things you can’t talk about, but i’d still love to hear more about it from your perspective. my husband is a marine so i love seeing tidbits about the life you guys are living!

  18. Amanda on June 10, 2012 at 7:40 pm

    Pinned your Chocolate Chip Protein Ballz recipe! They are my favorite. http://pinterest.com/pin/254523816411093407/

  19. Claire on June 10, 2012 at 7:41 pm

    I pretty much love everything about your blog! I’ve gotten some great food and recipe inspiration, and I love the links you post and the music videos you pop in every so often. I love the stories and photos you share, and I love how you just keep it real. (My favourite photo of recent: Bella licking her lips watching Livi eat sweet potato. I burst out laughing on the bus when I saw that haha)

  20. Emily on June 10, 2012 at 7:41 pm

    blog feedback? thats tough, i love the blog! hmmm.. maybe a main page with recent updates from each section you have.. it’s hard to tell when you have new posts on fashion or fam page unless i go there! i would loooooveee that watch, just sayin

  21. Holly on June 10, 2012 at 7:44 pm

    Gina do you make custom macaroons that people can buy?? Because seriously everytime I see them on here they make my mouth water…and I’ve heard in this little ‘blog world’ that yours are the BEST around 🙂
    What I LOVE about your blog: That you are REAL. You don’t hide things & you put it out there that it might not always be the EASIEST thing is eat healthy/ exercise frequently, but how MUCH better it makes you feel.
    What I’d like to see more of: Baby stuff!! 😀 Like I told you before, I LOVE hearing your advice on things on anything baby! I highly value your opinion!!

  22. Jenna on June 10, 2012 at 7:44 pm

    I LOVE your healthy and flavorful recipes! I recently found out I’m pregnant, so reading your blog has helped me keep in perspective my workouts, healthy eating, and my little bean growing inside. 🙂

  23. Heather P on June 10, 2012 at 7:46 pm

    I love your approach to food and eating. It is SO refreshing to see a fitness blog that focuses on whole, healthy foods and not junk that just happens to have a low caloric value. You are pretty much the sole reason for my new addiction to almond butter! I am also a sucker for any post that has to do with your precious Livi – cuteness overload 🙂

  24. jameil on June 10, 2012 at 7:47 pm

    I pinned your bench workout on Pinterest!

  25. Kristen on June 10, 2012 at 7:47 pm

    I absolutely love your quick 10-20 minute workouts that you come up with and post up in here. I also love that you are real and i’m sure you hide some things so that you can have some sort of personal life, but you share so much with your readers at the same time. You give us a good idea, and example, of how to live a healthy lifestyle. It’s inspiring!

  26. Lindsay @ The Skipping Pixie on June 10, 2012 at 7:47 pm

    Hmmm, I like it the way it is…but maybe more fashion stuff?!

  27. Ann @ Running With Chopstix on June 10, 2012 at 7:47 pm

    Love your workout plans like the SSU! It would be nice to have a post after the shape ups end with feedback from people who have stuck to the plan for the whole month. Seeing how other people have done is always motivational for me!

    I’m also tweeting, Facebooking and pinned (http://pinterest.com/pin/21251429462111200/). I hope I win! I love the P57 Volume 1!

  28. heather on June 10, 2012 at 7:48 pm

    I love the variety of stuff on the blog.

  29. jameil on June 10, 2012 at 7:52 pm

    I love the workout routines! Yours is the first blog I’ve followed that offers that. I haven’t been reading long enough to find anything to complain about!

  30. Stephanie on June 10, 2012 at 7:53 pm

    I love the blog! Keep doing what you’re doing- you’re real, you’re funny, and you’re inspiring!

  31. Christine on June 10, 2012 at 7:53 pm

    I’ve been Reading your blog for about a year and love the focus on features. I’d love to see some videos of workouts. You have a wonderful inspiring blog. Keep up the good work!

  32. Jody on June 10, 2012 at 7:53 pm

    Your blog is a lot of fun and I enjoy reading it daily! Would love to see more recipes!

  33. Erin on June 10, 2012 at 7:55 pm

    Would love to win! new reader so no feedback at the moment!

  34. laura on June 10, 2012 at 7:55 pm

    I love how you make clean eating simple

  35. Lisa on June 10, 2012 at 7:55 pm

    I love your blog (it was the first blog I ever started reading!) and enjoy your workouts as well as when you post new food/recipe information. I think it’s great seeing how you are balancing everything in your life!

  36. Jodie on June 10, 2012 at 7:56 pm

    I absolutely love your blog. It is perfect the way
    It is. I really like your recipes, fashion post, and I also
    Really like the fact that if a question is asked you comment/respond.
    Your blog is real , just perfect.
    Thank you

  37. Nicole A on June 10, 2012 at 7:56 pm

    I love your workout routines. You keep it real & fun & seeing that cute baby of yours keeps me reading! 🙂

  38. Runblondie26 on June 10, 2012 at 7:56 pm

    Happy blogaversary! Maybe workouts that include baby? Besides the jogging stroller is there such a thing?

  39. Bryn on June 10, 2012 at 7:56 pm

    I love your blog! It has been great seeing your family grow, and how you have changed along with them 🙂 I really love the FocusOn posts, and the different workout posts, so I would love to see more of those. Additionally, you and the pilot seem to cook some delicious fish and other meals, so I would love to see more recipes! Thanks for sharing your life with us!

  40. Stephanie on June 10, 2012 at 7:57 pm

    I pinned your recipe for goat cheese stuffed chicken and Greek quinoa salad!

  41. Ananda on June 10, 2012 at 7:57 pm

    I love the Focus On posts and the summer workouts that you post. Everything that you post related to workouts seem very well thought out and well educated. I wouldn’t mind more advise on how to lose weight and keep it off while fueling your body for exercise.

  42. Edith on June 10, 2012 at 7:58 pm

    I think one of the things I love most about your blog is all the pictures that you include with the workouts and all the examples you give – it’s really helpful!

  43. Kara D on June 10, 2012 at 7:58 pm

    I would love to see more information on diet, and Pre/post workout fuel.

  44. Erica on June 10, 2012 at 7:58 pm

    I love that you provide such great workout ideas and advice, and also share so much about your life! I enjoy reading about your family time with the Pilot and Livi and how you balance it all. Your pregnancy, baby, and postpartum updates have been so helpful to me since my little one was born in March.

  45. Edith on June 10, 2012 at 8:00 pm

    I also repinned one of your lunge workouts – I hate lunges but having some variety helps!

  46. Steph G on June 10, 2012 at 8:00 pm

    Love the food and fitness ideas!

  47. Megan S. on June 10, 2012 at 8:00 pm

    I love all of the circuits and workout tips, but I’d love to learn a little more about “clean eating” or some of your daily eats/recipes!

  48. Kristin on June 10, 2012 at 8:01 pm

    I pinned a classic!- the breakfast cookie: http://pinterest.com/pin/72268768990929190/

  49. Ashley b on June 10, 2012 at 8:02 pm

    I love the gluten free food recipes. I have celiac diseases so it always nice seeing new ideas for dinner 🙂
