]]> ***** THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*****

Today is an awesome day, for so many reasons! First, it’s National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day! Do you pop bubble wrap? I think it’s hard not to when you see it. I used to twist a whole bunch of it at one time so I could hear a ton of pops at once. Now when I do that Diesel goes CRAZY! He starts dancing around and jumping on me – which doesn’t always end well because he’s very muscular and weighs at LEAST 75 pounds. The name fits.

Lookit how cute he is:

AND it’s also giveaway time! Here’s what’s up for grabs:

1. The Eat-Clean Diet Recharged: Fast Fat Loss That Lasts Forever by Tosca Reno - $19.95

Tosca Reno has a number of excellent cookbooks and I chose this one for the giveaway because it’s kind of a beginner’s guide to eating clean. It contains several recipes and many reviewers say they aren’t bland and boring and that it makes a great addition to your cookbook collection.

2. CamelBak BPA-Free Better Bottle with Bite Valve (.75 liters) – $14.00

This water bottle is getting great reviews and it looks pretty too. It’s also BPA-Free.

3. Hungry Girl 1-2-3: The Easiest, Most Delicious, Guilt-Free Recipes on the Planet by Lisa Lillien – $19.99

These recipes are not 100% clean but I admit that I don’t eat 100% clean. I still think it’s a great cookbook to have if you’re looking for some healthy meals that won’t break your calorie budget. Besides, you can never have too many recipes to choose from, right?

All items can be found on Amazon.com.

—> Here’s how to enter:

All you have to do to enter is guess how many berries are in the jar. That’s it! The person who guesses closest without going over will win. If there’s a tie, winner will be whomever left the comment first!

*Berries inside are a mix of frozen blueberries and frozen raspberries.

Giveaway rules:

  • Must be a U.S. resident
  • 18+
  • One guess per person (no cheating or I have the right to forfeit you and your unfairness)

All entries must be in by 11:59 pm CST on Thursday, February 2nd. Winner WILL be announced Friday, February 3rd!

Full disclosure: This not a sponsored giveaway. I purchased these items myself, with my own money to show appreciation to my followers. So thank you!

]]> ***** THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED *****

Congrats to Amanda for winning!!

2012 is almost here guys and surely you have been thinking about some fitness goals right? The EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Body Fat Scale is used to monitor and analyze body composition in real time.

This particular scale is my 3rd experience with EatSmart and their scales are the best. I got the first one 2 years ago and it’s still working perfectly. You know what though? This one’s my new favorite because of all the things it’s capable of doing!

*** RETAIL PRICE: $54.95 (Amazon) ***

What the GetFit Does:

  • Measures body weight
  • Measures % body fat (woo!)
  • Measures % body muscle
  • Measures bone weight
  • % total body water

Some other great features include:

 

  • Proprietary Body Fat Software: The newest EatSmart algorithm provides superior accuracy when calculating body fat for a variety of body shapes and activity levels.
  • Automatic User Identification: Proprietary technology stores personal data for up to 8 users and automatically identifies the person standing on the scale.
  • Sleek design and Touch Screen Interface: Referred to multiple times as looking like a “giant iPad”.

 

Even More Features:

Proprietary Automatic User Identification Technology; Stores personal data for up to 8 users
EatSmart “Step-On” Technology – Get instant readings!
Large 3.5″ Blue LCD display with white backlight – Easy to read.
4 High Precision Sensors – Consistent and accurate measurement
Measurement Modes: Pounds / Kilos
Graduation Increments of .2 lbs. / .1kg
Ultra thin, sleek design with high quality tempered glass platform
Max Weight: 400 lbs / 180 kgs
Auto Calibrated; Includes 4 AAA batteries
Measures 12.5″ x 12.5″ x 1″

Why the GetFit makes a Great Tool for Monitoring Health:

Recent research shows that adults who weighed themselves daily lost more weight (I don’t recommend daily, I prefer weekly or bi-weekly), as well as avoided weight gain, over a two-year period when compared to participants who weighed themselves less often. Alarmingly, the International Diabetes Federation reports that 1 in 10 adults will be diagnosed with diabetes by 2030.

Tremendous early response – Launched in March 2011, this scale has garnered outstanding reviews on Amazon.com, with a 4.7 out of 5 stars average. (Stats as of 12/28/11.) Additionally, it has been covered as an innovative, new product in HomeWorld Business Magazine, a leading trade publication.

My Experience

After playing around with this scale I was amazed at how simple it is to set up each profile. You can set up to 8 of them and I was able to set up mine and my husband’s in about 2 minutes. If I can set it up, anybody can. I have no idea how accurate the body fat and other measurements are but EatSmart has an excellent reputation and track record.

One thing is for sure, it’ll work perfectly for monitoring body fat% and weight loss (or gain) because you’ll simply compare measurements and be able to see if you’re headed in the right direction.

So, if you wanna win a scale to kick-off your 2012 fitness journey, be sure to carefully read the rules below. It’s easy to enter and you can enter multiple times if you choose.

    ]]>     *****THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.*****

    Happy Friday! Today is Earth Day and to celebrate I’m having an Earth Day Giveaway that starts TODAY! I am a Biggest Loser fan and I really admire the show’s trainers, Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels. It takes a really special person to be able to make a difference and help people lose weight and get in shape.

    In honor of their last season together on the show (Jillian’s leaving) AND this being my 350th post on this blog, I have created a special Bob & Jillian Prize Pack that I’m giving away to one of my readers! This is not a sponsored giveaway – this is MY giveaway, for YOU. (All items are brand new, never opened/used.)

    Bob & Jillian Prize Pack Includes:

    Bob Harper & Jillian Michaels Giveaway

    Bob Harper’s ‘Ultimate Cardio Body’, Extreme Weight Loss Workout DVD (2011)

    Released March 15, 2011, “Ultimate Cardio Body” by Bob Harper is already getting rave reviews. This workout DVD features 2 workouts. The first is Extreme Cardio Challenge which is a one-hour long high intensity workout that combines cardio with strength training moves to increase your heart rate, burn fat and make you stronger. You’ll get a complete full body workout including lower body, your upper body and even your glutes. The second workout is called the “10-Minute Glute Challenge” that is designed to “micro-target your glutes”. Total run time: 78 minutes.

    “Every inch of your body will burn as cutting-edge weight-wielding maneuvers command complete cardio and muscular activation, to demolish fat calories, pound for pound.”

    Jillian Michaels’ ‘Ripped in 30′ DVD (2011)

    Jillian Michaels has a plethora of effective workout DVDs with her most popular likely being ‘30 Day Shred‘. If you aren’t familiar with her work she uses a 3-2-1 interval system: 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of abs. In Ripped in 30, Jillian uses this same technique in each of the four – 24-minute workouts that makes up her latest workout DVD. She demonstrates modified moves in each workout for beginners and more advanced athletes. Ripped in 30 also includes a complete 30-day diet plan! Total run time: 136 minutes.

    “Each incredible routine has fresh, fun new moves that progress in difficulty over a four-week period (a new workout each week). You’ll start with workout level 1 and advance to workout level 4.”

    Jillian Michaels’ ‘Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life’ Book (2011)

    I really felt that a Bob & Jillian Prize Pack could not possibly be complete without Jillian’s latest book Unlimited. The reason? Because I feel that while you can be in great shape physically, you can’t really be your best unless you’re in good shape all around – and that includes emotionally as well. Unlimited encourages readers to “lose the chains” and take charge of life. The book is broken up beautifully making it a very easy and entertaining read. Chapters include “Identify Your Passion”, “Time for Your Wake-Up Call” and “Get an Attitude Adjustment” just to name a few.

    What I like best is that she talks about how other “self-help” books are useless because they simply tell us to love ourselves, be optimistic and just let things come to us. I don’t know about you, but that has never gotten me very far. You need to be proactive about life and go out and get what it is that you want.

    “No hype, no false promises. You will learn to:

    • Cultivate your passion and embrace your uniqueness to create a purpose-filled life…on your own terms.
    • Transform your suffering into peace, wisdom and strength.
    • Work through fear, worry, shame and negative self-talk to blast through obstacles and create self-confidence, self-esteem, and a healthy self-image.
    • Take powerful, informed, deliberate actions to make your dreams a reality.”

    **This contest will run from Friday, April 22, 2011 at 12:01 am CST until Friday, April 29, 2011 at 11:59 pm CST. Entries made before 12:01 am on 4/22 or after 11:59 pm on 4/29 WILL NOT COUNT.**

    Giveaway Rules:

    • Participants must be at least 18 years of age.
    • Open to U.S. residents only.
    • Winner will be announced on this blog, Monday, May 2, 2011.

    ]]>     Although spring officially sprung back in March, I’m not really feelin’ it where I live – especially when snow is in the forecast for this week. Ughhhhhhh! I guess that’s why I didn’t think of this sooner.

    It has been wayyyyyy too long since I had a giveaway. I’m not sure why that is, really, but it’s all about to change because I’ve got a really good one coming up! The last giveaway I had was also my first one and it was back in 2009. I promise to not ever let another 16 months go by before having another giveaway. In that giveaway, the prize to be won was a scale – this next giveaway is even better.

    The main purpose of this giveaway is to thank YOU for supporting me by reading my fitness blog, leaving comments, sending e-mails and sharing your tips, experiences and feedback.

    I also want to thank:

    This blog started out as a motivational tool for myself that I also used to help hold myself accountable and it has now grown to something bigger than I could have ever imagined. I’m so thankful for my readers and I hope that I encourage and motivate you all as much as you do me. YOU’RE the ones who help to keep this blog going. Without YOU, I would’ve probably given up on this a long time ago.

    *Now, back to the giveaway.. ;)

    I’m going to be giving away a few incredible tools that you can use to get your body and your mind in tip top shape! (Retail value exceeds $55) Many of us want to get in peak physical condition or at least have a body that we can be proud of, but often times we neglect the mind. Getting your mind right can help you improve in all other areas of your life. These tools will provide the help you need to ensure that you’re tightening your body, shredding fat but also getting your mind in a more peaceful place as well.

    This is NOT a sponsored giveaway – this is MY giveaway. I purchased these items because I feel that they are extremely useful to any person who wants to live the fit life and I want to pass them on to one of my lucky readers. Whether you’re a beginner or you’ve been running marathons for eons, whether you pee standing up or sitting down, these items are useful to anyone and everyone.

    There will be several ways to submit entries to increase your chances of winning. I’ll have more details (including the official contest rules) on Friday when the contest begins, so stay tuned to be sure you don’t miss out!

    Stay committed, stay fit!
