I hope I win! I never win anything but I have a great feeling about this. My fingers are crossed.

Once you receive your Wii Fit Plus board & Fitness Ultimatum game, let me know how you liked it. I’m sure you’re going to feel the burn!

——————————————————————————————————————————–

I’m not a Biggest Loser Fan. Never have been. I always felt like if I had unlimited time and money I, too, could afford to get an amazing trainer and spend three hours or more a day in a gym being yelled at for my own good. Yet, I find myself tuning in week after week, season after season for one reason…Jillian. (a.k.a. Best Trainer EVER!)

Wouldn’t it be great to have Jillian Michaels as my very own personal trainer! Especially having all the Jillian without having to deal with the show just to catch the tips here and there.

Sure she’d yell, but then when you were totally awesome or had a breakthrough she’d cry for you out of happiness…and you’d cry too…and you’d have a TOTAL moment with one another. How great would that be?

Now you can have that moment- virtually!

Sports Authority is giving away to one lucky reader a a copy of Jillian Michaels’ new fitness game for the Wii. That’s not all…they are also giving you a Wii Fit Plus board so you can have the ultimate Wii fitness experience.

I’m sure that finding it is sending your heart all a pitter-patter too. Now if only you and I could get our pulses racing with exercise instead of giveaway madness we’d be set, right?

The only thing cooler than this monster giveaway is that if you live anywhere near Torrance, CA you can MEET Jillian this Thursday and try out her new game “Fitness Ultimatum 2010.” Plus they’re going to have the biggest demonstration of Wii Fit Plus ever – 102 people all at once Wii-ing their butts off – literally!

Event Information:
Thursday, Nov. 19
Sports Authority store in Torrance (located at 3610 Torrance Blvd.), CA (just outside of Los Angeles, CA)
Event starts at 9:30 a.m. and runs until mid-day

Event Highlights:

• Jillian Michaels, from “The Biggest Loser,” will be in attendance.
• There will be the “world’s largest Wii Fit Plus” demonstration featuring 102 people. Jillian will be part of the demonstration, doing what she does best – showing folks how to get in shape!
• Lots of items to be given away, including copies of Jillian Michaels’ new Wii game “Fitness Ultimatum 2010″ and Wii Fit Plus boards, as well as other prizes from Sports Authority, Nintendo and Nike.

Why:
Sports Authority is teaming up with Nintendo to create a new way to experience fitness gaming. The collaboration will allow Sports Authority to sell Wii gaming consoles, Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, as well as various accessories and games for the Wii, in its stores. To launch the product and to help customers get to know the Wii better, Sports Authority will create a “We know fit. We know fun.” experience at 102 of their stores. Stores will feature a dedicated area with a demo unit and knowledgeable trainers to help customers try the Wii Fit Plus before they buy. This will help moms trade static workouts for ones that involve fun and fitness for the whole family.

I’m in the midwest, so I’m not going to be able to attend the in-store demonstration and meet the amazing Jillian. Heck, I have to wait in line and buy the game like the rest of the normal folk.

But you’re special.

Very special.

Because you have found the bestest giveaway ever for a fan of Jillian! We’re giving away a Wii Fit Plus Board AND a copy of Fitness Ultimatum 2010 to one lucky winner! Get in shape with the help of one of the best personal trainers ever and Nintendo!

The best part is, using The Wii Authority site, I was able to find a bunch of stores that are having the Wii Experience near me! I’m going to go in and try out one of those Wii Fit Boards. I’m a very “try before you buy” kind of woman – even though I’ve wanted a Wii Fit forever I haven’t gotten one because I don’t know anyone that has one I can try. Now’s my chance!

Giveaway Rules:

• You get one entry for commenting on this post.
• You get one entry for anyone else that comments on this post telling me you referred them.
• Two entries for blogging about it and putting a link in the comments.
• Tweet it for another entry! (so easy if your blog is hooked up with Twitter Tools or another Twitter plugin!)

The contest will run until Monday, November 23 at 10:00AM CST. Any entries put in after that time won’t be counted. The winner will be picked at random and the Wii Fit Plus and a copy of Fitness Ultimatum 2010 will be shipped to the winner directly from the company.

PhotoStamps – Making Your Child’s Letter to Santa Special (free stuff)

This year is the first that we are writing letters to Santa in my house. Of course my kids can’t write yet (except Sadie can write her name with coaching) but I ask them what they want and write it down for them.

The irony is that before I was shown this company, Sadie asked me, “Mommy, how will Santa know who I am – there are other Sadies you know.”

I couldn’t come up with a great answer other than, “You’re the only Sadie at this address.” Which she sort of (not really) understood.

PhotoStamps is having a promotion where you can upload and print your very own personalized PhotoStamp for sending a letter to Santa. I would have felt a lot more secure being able to say to Sadie, “Santa will know who you are because your face is on the front of the card.” I think it would have worked for her too.

It’s super simple:

1. You go to the website and click on Upload Photo
2. You click the Browse button and choose your photo
3. You customize the stamp with background color, side color, and you zoom and rotate if necessary
4. Click Next
5. Click Check Out (you’ll see $0 amounts for price and shipping)
6. Enter the info for where to send the stamp – this takes a few screens
7. You’re done!

There is still more than enough time to get your PhotoStamp and get that letter out to Santa before Christmas this year.

And…between you, me and the Christmas tree – you don’t have to get a holiday themed PhotoStamp. If you want a picture of your puppy dog in a jester outfit or your company logo (to see what real branding looks like) - that’s okay too. It’s free – even shipping is free! How can you not sign up? LOL

That makes everyone a winner in this non-contest!
