The first week of the #MoveHappy challenge is in the books! It was amazing seeing all the entries both on the official posts and on instagram throughout the week. If you didn’t get a chance to browse the hashtag, I encourage you to do that. It’s a great way to get some extra motivation before your next workout and a reminder of all the different ways there are to get moving! Here’s a sample of some of the amazing photos below:
Go follow these ladies for inspiration: theelfinartist, Kanoe (yamolo17), Lucie (fitswisschick), Lindsay (lccotter), Sam (betterwithsprinklesblog), Jennifer (thefitfork).
Quick reminder of the rules:
- You MUST log three #MoveHappy workouts in the comments on the official post. Last week was here. This week is on Sprint 2 The Table!
- Assuming you complete the rule above, you get an extra entry for each #MoveHappy photo that includes the hashtag and tags @Sprint2theTable and @FITaspire
To pick the winner, I used the random number generator and picked a number. After confirming the comment or photo that matched the number met the rules, that person was the winner!!
And the Week 1 Winner is…
As a reminder, this week’s winner gets a Fabletics gym bag filled with essentials (including a complete outfit!) and a Quest Nutrition 12-bar variety box !

Nutrex Hawaii
If you’ve been a reader for a while now, you’ve likely heard about Nutrex Hawaii before. I learned about this company in December of 2013 and quickly added them to my daily supplement routine. I was also honored to represent them at Blend Retreat 2014 and get to share my favorite Spirulina and BioAstin.
I thought I’d share a little background on Nutrex Hawaii, because it’s not your typical company. They are based in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii with the mission of utilizing the benefits of microalgae to improve health and extend lives in the world wide community. The strain of spirulina they cultivate gets more sunlight than any other coastal location in the US, which means it can continuously for 12 months a year (which means more nutrition). It’s also the only microalgae farm in a BioSecure Zone, which means no pesticides or GMOs. All that and it’s the most affordable spirulina I have found! Now you see even more why I love this stuff!!
The winner of this week’s #MoveHappy challenge will get a Nutrex Hawaii Hawaiian Health Kit, which includes: Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica, BioAstin Astaxanthin, Green Complete Superfood Powder, a drawstring bag, a logo item, and a gift card! I have tried every one of these items and you are going to LOVE this package.
Quest Nutrition
I look forward to any meal that includes a Quest Bar. And I really do plan them as often as I can. There aren’t many packaged foods that we even keep in the house, but we try to keep the pantry in full supply of a variety of flavors of my favorite bars. The proportions are perfect for medium-carb days, even better when I get a little extra fat and can top them with some extra nut butter. In fact, I’m still fitting them into my prep diet and have will continue to do so until the last week of training (which is NEXT WEEK!).
If you haven’t tried any of their recipes made with Quest Bars, you’ve got to add that to your list. We had these Chocolate Fudge Cookie Cups at Blend Retreat (pictured above) and they were unreal. It was shocking to see the final nutrition stats on these – they tasted so sinful, but are pretty well balanced!
Did you know that Quest Nutrition is supporting all 5 weeks of the #MoveHappy challenge? If you haven’t had a chance to try these yet, you can usually find them at your local nutrition store, online at Amazon
Ready to #MoveHappy?
Now that you have all the details about this week’s prizes, I hope ready for another week of FUN and FITNESS!!
