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’ve been an avid follower since livi’s birth, and now through my pregnancy! I would love to see a post on a good work out routine for mammas who maybe weren’t super physical before. Something to keep toned and make childbirth a little er um “easier”? I’m dying to sink my teeth into a macrooooon! 🙂
I love your blog. I found it about two months ago because I needed more inspiration to keep going with my diet and exercises routine. Since January I’ve been dieting and exercising, and your blog is helping me to keep going and so far I’ve lost 60lbs and will run my first race next month (YAY – but still have 20lbs more to go). Thank you so much.
I would love to have more gluten free recipes because I found out I’m gluten intolerant.
Thank you for all the inspiration and help 🙂 ?
I love seeing the workouts- I have been pregnant ever since finding your blog, but I can’t wait to use some of the workouts later this summer to get back in shape.
I have been reading your blog for about two years now, and I love everything about it! I love all the workouts and recipes, so of course I could always take more of those. Awesome giveaway!!!
As a UofA alumni, I love hearing your references to different spots around Tucson. It takes me back to the good ol days…
What actually brought me here was a focus on post about tabata training – I love the focus on posts because they’re so informative and about new workouts or diets! I think those are my favorite and could probably never get enough of those. I think there’s a great balance of fitness, recipes, and personal on here – and even if there’s something missing, you still have your reader’s requests posts!
I also tweeted about this giveaway! (@nataliecates)
My favourite part of your website is the motivation I get to get out and excersise! I also love the recipes, and can’t wait to see what the next year has to bring!!
I love summer shape up! It’s my fave. <3
I’ve been following the blog for 3 years (so I obviously love it!). I would love more posts on how you balance cooking for yourself and your husband/meal planning. It’s tough to budget and plan- I just moved in with my boyfriend and am trying to figure it out!
Hello! Great giveaway. Feed back: I like all the exercise tips! keep those coming. Your new summer shape up is an example of something I want more of!
First of all-great giveaway! I love your blog and visit daily for tips. I especially love your recipes, tips for healthy eating and snacks and when you post what you ate that day. Keep it up!
I am more or less silently lurking around your blog for more than 2 years now – it was the first healty living blog that I started following and reading every day – its kind of a daily ritual I have with blogs (as I imagine alk of us readers have 🙂 ) – but I always start my day reading your blog first. Now that I think of it, it’s maybe even a little bit OCD – LOL 😀
To get to the point, I honestly love the blog as it is. I would looove some new recipes! The protein fluff and the pancakes are a regular in my kitchen and I crave some more 🙂
I pinned the Hot Mess HIIT workout!

I started reading when a link was posted on a facebook group to your pregnancy announcement post, and haven’t missed a post since! I love the mix-up of health, fitness, recipes (I’ve found some new favourites), your pregnancy progress (you have definitely eased a few of my fears), and life in general. I’m also a big fan of the focus on posts.
I love the family posts!
I would love to see more healthy recipes from you! You always have such good ideas!
I love love love your recipes — always happy to see those!
I love your blog! I love the family posts and would always love to see more of sweet Olivia 🙂 I also would like to see more recipies- seems like you are a throw it in the pot, add some spices type, which I am too, so maybe recipies aren’t your thing. But maybe just more dinner ideas?
I love your blog! I havent been a follower for long….but now you are one of the first I go to in my backlog in Google Reader! Love the workout, but would like to see more recipes! I need food inspiration!! I get stuck in a rut!! And more pics of your cute little girl and dog would be a +!! Keep up the great work!
pinned your whole wheat crepes!

I love love love your blog. I love seeing your family grow and your in and outs of the day. I would love to see more of what you can do with a Vitamix and dehydrator ……I got got both of these guys and looking for more ideas!
I love all your workouts, meals and goodies. Thanks for all the wonderful resources!
I love everything about your blog. Only think i would like to see more of is recipes.
This is the very heart rate monitor I’m considering at the moment! I only discovered your blog about 6 months ago and read it every day, checking in on multiple occasions to see if you’ve posted when I’m in work! My favourite thing would be the recipes and your daily life…it’s nice to see the home side of bloggers…especially ones so far away when I’m in Ireland and anything I’ve made so far from your recipes has been delicious….. Looking forward to starting the summer shape up tomorrow!!!
I love that all of your workouts are simple enough for a normal person to do! Nothing too insane or scary, just really intense sweat sessions! Thanks! I love your planned meal plans; this is the hardest thing about fitness for me…the clean(ish) eating.
Pinned your summer shape up 2010! Can’t wait to get started!
I love the mixture of workouts, easy recipes and daily life. Whenever I feel like I’m in a workout rut and need something new to try out at the gym, I always look at your blog for ideas.
I personally don’t like watching vlogs, so I appreciate that often whatever information is in a vlog is also written out. When I’m trying to follow a workout it is help to have things easily written out so I can copy, paste, and print. I appreciate pictures that show good form, always a nice reminder for exercises I’m familiar with and a great way to find out new ones.
All those prizes have me soooo excited. I wanted to try out a physique 57 class before I graduated NYU, but unfortunately got injured during my last semester and didn’t wanna try out something new.
I’ve also been thinking about wearing a heart rate monitor watch, my summer job is as a day camp dance specialist. During the summer I’m always more concerned about the fuel I’m putting in my body and making sure I eat enough calories since I spend the whole day sweating and essentially teaching a few mini zumba classes to the kids. Hopefully a heart rate monitor will give me more of an idea of how many calories I am burning throughout the day and how much more I need to eat.
Thanks for a week of amazing giveaways !
I have been loving all the family posts. I also had a baby recently, he just turned 10 months, and its been great reading about your adventures!
I really love your blog. I love reading the stuff about Livi and your transition into being a mom, as my husband and I will start trying in the next few months. I also enjoy work-out ideas and just your generally positive attitude and outlook on life.
I love all of the workouts and meal ideas!
I look forward to your posts every day, friend. I love your positivity and your warmth, how much you care for your family and your health. MISS YOU! Hope to see you- and fam!- in NYC soon 🙂
I love the posts about food. I’m always looking for new, healthy food ideas so I don’t get stuck in an eating rut. And, of course, I love the family posts. The family posts are probably my favorite!
I spent three years losing about 100 lbs and came across this blog one day when I was looking for workout inspiration. Love the workouts and I’m super excited for my first Summer Shape Up! (Side note – thank you so much for keeping your fitness and family separate. So many of the fitness blogs I used to read became family blogs and while I love seeing Livi most of the time I am grateful for the extra effort that you make to keep them separate. Thank you!!)
I love when you do recipe posts. I just recently made your protein pancake and it was amazing!
I really wouldnt change 1 thing—I read your blog daily and I find lots of great tips and inspiration. I remember the day I first came across it 2 years ago or more and I spent the weekend going back and reading all the entries in order–my fiance thought I was insane but I really connected to your voice and healthy living!
I’ve been reading your blog for 2-3 years (has it really been that long?!!) and I love your positive attitude! i love when you post little exercises at the end of posts. Even though I am a personal trainer and spend most of my day at the gym (or maybe because I’m always there) I love getting new ideas or reminders of different exercises to do myself or to make my clients do:)
Thanks for all you do!!
I would love to see more cooking challenges (ex. a smoothie a day). It was a lot of fun to follow along and gave me some great new ideas!
I really enjoy the positive but honest feel of the blog. If there’s anything I’d like to see more of, it would be more “Focus On” posts – for example, I’m curious what you think of the Jari Love workouts? Overall, great job and thanks for the giveaways!
I’ve been following your blog for over a year now and I love all of the information you provide on healthy eating and fitness – I especially like the fitness methods reviews. Ever since Livi was born seeing how adorable she is is a huge bonus 🙂 Keep up the great posts and maybe throw in some about cooking and eating for one.
I love that your blog is super easy to read and navigate. We have similar eating styles, so your recipes are fab (at times could maybe use a bit more detail, but I realize that’s part of the “adventure” of cooking). We also are very close in age so I find you to be pretty relatable, even though I am not married yet and I am baby-less. However, I do have an adorable little white dog, like Bella 🙂 Although it’s not the focus of your blog, I do like when you bring up things like what books you’re reading, because I love recommendations in any shape or form. I started reading about a year ago, and I’ve really enjoyed it! Thank you!
I LOVE this blog. My sister sent me the link about a month ago and I have become an avid fan & follower! I find inspiration in your healthy lifestyle and can’t get enough of the workouts that you post. I’m especially looking forward to the Summer Shape Up plan coming soon!

I really like your “focus on” series! More of those would be great!!
I love reading about your adorable little family! Recipe ideas area always great! I love seeing your Trader Joe finds since I don’t live near one! It makes me hungry. I also enjoy the “focus on” series to give me new workouts to try since I workout at home. Thanks for being awesome! =)
Woah, great giveaway!
I’d love to see more about what you do as a trainer. Maybe some stories about your clients, if they’re willing to share.
I love all the updates you do, I can always trust this blog to be current and up to date! The fitness tips are an absolute plus and so informative!
I also appreciate all the honesty and insight you give 🙂
Thank you!
I love all of your posts! Especially Focus On posts and Pics from the Day. I would love to see more recipes because your Cookie Dough Cereal has literally changed my life!!
I love all of your posts and love hearing about your family life as well! I will vote for more recipes b/c I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cookie dough cereal! And I have been wanting one of those HR watches since I saw yours for the first time!
Your blog is just awesome. The #1 thing that keeps me coming back is your honesty. Your sincerity is my motivation. I also like your pictures. To me, the more the merrier! We all want to see more of your perfect life (and that beautiful baby).
