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!

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 am tweeting, well actually I reweeted the P%& since that was easier for me.
I love your blog because I think you are so “real” and open about everything! I am excited everyday to read your new posts!
I love everything about your blog! When I’m getting sick of my normal workout routine, I love that you have so many ideas to try on the workouts page–they keep me feeling motivated! I am obsessed with your circuit workouts and they have helped me feel more confident when lifting weights. Keep up the awesomeness 🙂
Thanks for sharing your life with us. I’d love to see more of what you’re doing specifically to tone up ….workouts, food intake….and how you got your body back into shape. With all this “diet” talk out there it’s hard to know where to turn. Thanks so much!!!
Your blog! Absolutely in love. My favorite part of your blog is the motivation it gives me. You update it so often so there is always something that inspires others. Your recipes are NEVER boring and always so yummy looking. You also include your family life which shows your a real person with real life events, making time for healthy living. Keep it up, girl!
I am not sure what tagging Facebook is but I Liked you.
I love the recipe ideas and workout inspiration, but in that last year or so I’ve really come to enjoy the family posts. Not quite ready for a baby myself yet but I like to casually read up and research on the topic and following your journey into motherhood on the blog was very cool. I also like the hair tips!
I know you are always on the lookout for a good book… Have you read “Blood, Bones and Butter” by Gabrielle Hamilton? Phenomenal read, especially for the fellow culinarily inclined. It can be a little gritty but she’s by far one of the best writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.
I love the pictures of Liv! So cute. And of course the workouts! Plus, you’re always eating interesting foods that I want to try. It’s good inspiration!

I love all the workout plans you provide. I am very easily bored when I have to workout by myself, and the new ideas you provide help me to keep from losing interest. I also love how much you love you hubby! It’s always encouraging to see another young couple so happily working towards building a loving relationship and home together. 🙂
I would love to try these workout videos!!
For the blog – I can’t wait to see more pictures and read about Liv. She is so beautiful, and I have bookmarked many of your posts for the future little ones I will have. You’ve given some great recommendations and suggestions that I know I could use. And as always, I love to see all of your eats!
I love how you give fitness/eating advice by way of journalling your life! I find it way more interesting than just simply blogging a new workout or recipe. Latley, I’m loving the addition of Meg as a fashion blogger!
Also, Just pinned my fav quick booty kicking workout

I love the way the blog is right now! If I had to change one thing, I’d like to see more of your workouts (cardio, strength training, etc.). I love the adorable pictures of your new addition 😀
I love lots about your blog! One of my favorite things are pics from the day! : ).
Pinned a workout! I love your ab burners but I pinned this one because I want to try it! http://pinterest.com/pin/21532904438906149/

I LOVE giveaways like this. I also really loved your fashion posts so I would like to see more of that if you’re willing…oh, and the reviews of different workouts, etc. is really, really helpful at introducing me to new workouts and giving me your opinion of those that I might have tried to see if we have similar tastes!
I just recently came across your blog and I love it. You are an inspiration!
I love the mixture of everyday life and the workout tips and healthy eating. I think you do a great job of incorporating all elements of a healthy lifestyle into your blog and it keeps me checking in daily!
thanks for the chance to win!
I just recently found your blog and I really enjoy it! I love your healthy approach to eating and I’ve found so many of your recipes that I want to incorporate into my life. I can’t wait to see the Summer Shape Up. I need a new workout! I really want to try Physique 57 too!
I love the meal ideas. Because of you and this blog I’m now a fan of almond milk and sweet potatoes. I’d never tried either before I started reading. Thanks, Gina! Keep up the great work.
I love your blog. You focus on a variety of topics so no matter where we are in our life some part is relatable! I love your adventures with the Pilot, how your life has changed since you had the baby, and pictures of your vibrant Zumba gear! Keep writing and I will keep reading!!
And tweeted! https://twitter.com/#!/thefluffybread
I really enjoy the mix of topics you cover. My favorite are the workouts you share.
I love the blog, i’ve been reading for about a year now. My feedback would be, I wish there was a way you could post on the home page when you have put up a ‘family’ or ‘fashion’ post that way I can make sure to jump over to those pages as well!
As a pregnant mom of a 2 year old, I naturally love the family page! I also really enjoy your succinct writing style. You know how to relate a lot of info in a format that’s easy & enjoyable to read!
I pinned your RAW Lettuce Wraps that I’ve been wanting to make. yum!
I love the fitness ideas and meals. I’d love to see more recipes. Keep up the good work!
I love reading about Livi! And gluten free recipes are always appreciated.
Love your family page and your hair tutorials. 🙂
I LOVE READING ABOUT YOUR PREGNANCY! I AM HAVING A LITTLE GIRL IN SEPTEMBER AND BEING A FTM IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL SO THANK YOU! THE MACAROONS MAKE MY STOMACH/BABY DO FLIPS AND THE HEART RATE MONITER WOULD BE GREAT FOR NOW. THE PHYSIQUE 57 WILL BE GREAT POST BABY!!!! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND INSPIRATION…
More quick meal ideas would be fantastic 🙂
The one other thing I would change is the picture on the left – because I have to scroll right to get the post in full view.
This blog is one of my favorites! I love that you have such a healthy outlook on food and exercise. Also I love that you enjoy food and don’t just survive on chicken and tuna like a lot of exercise and fitness people. You always have great ideas and it is fun to read about what you are up to : ) I would just love to see more of the same . . . recipes and exercise ideas are always great! Thanks!!!
I’d love to see more raw or vegan desert recipes!
Hey Gina!
I’m a musical theatre major, and last summer I was cast in a role where I would have to be a little less than decent on stage 😛 I was looking for ways to get into shape and stumbled upon your blog and fell in love! I love the fitness posts the best, but that’s just one part of the whole awesome blog!
I love the family posts! I’m a sucker for cute baby pictures, and since we’re hopefully going to be entering that stage of our lives soon, it’s great hearing about what you’re going through. I also love any healthy food ideas. I’m the type of person that sometimes needs to actually SEE what people are eating, so I like any posts that focus on food. Keep up the awesome work!!!!!
A friend recommended your blog when I told her I was pregnant, and I LOVE your healthy attitude towards fitness, nutrition, and self-care during pregnancy. Your prenatal blog posts are inspiring. I would like to see more advice on safe workouts for pregnancy: where’s some trusted expert work-out advice? THANK YOU!
Hi Gina!
I love the fitness updates, how you keep them real by adding in your own personal experience, and making them super easy to understand by posting your own photos along with the exercises. I love that you put yourself outthere and speak of your own personal challenges. I don’t read too many of your fashion posts, but the healthy foods, the active lifestyle is totally my faves!
*are* totally my faves, no is. Duh 🙂
your family posts are my favorite!!
I love the nutrition info and recipes. Everything always looks so good an healthy, and you have a great balance between healthy and treats.
I love reading your family updates, especially since I’ve been pregnant. I would love to hear more posts from the Pilot’s perspective on family life.
I always enjoy reading about your healthy eats & the workouts you are currently enjoying, you are so inspirational! I’ve heard a lot about how great Physique 57 is, & I would be thrilled to try it out! I have a Polar F9 that’s on it’s last leg so a new HRM would be fabulous as well, & of course the macaroons would just be a delicious bonus!
Thanks, Gina!
I pinned your Gluten free pumpkin Choc chip bread. YUM!
I love your workouts, GF friendly recipes, and down to earth attitude. I always enjoy reading your posts! I’d love to see more of all of the above 🙂
Love your blog and recipes. Made the protein pancakes this morning for the summer shape, yum.
I love seeing what you eat, especially when you put up your grocery list or recipes. It helps me to try and eat healthier and more variety. I’d love to see more snack recipes in the future.
I tweeted about your giveaway. I’d love to try the Physique 57!
