Random Fitness Stuff Giveaway

August 10, 2010 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

Yesterday I finally got to go to a gym and got a workout in. I’ve missed the elliptical machine! I felt so good to actually do 30 minutes of hard cardio rather than just walking. It made me terribly happy.  Exercise tends to do that with all those fun endorphins.  I’m hopefully going back to that gym every day this week so I’ll keep up the awesome workouts before getting stuck traveling this weekend.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow I’m also busy packing/cleaning/storing/selling/shipping everything that I own plus a lot of my family’s stuff for a yard sale this weekend. Like I said, we somehow have a lot of things. How did that happen? But since I can’t afford to bring everything with me, nor do I want to, I am trying to get rid of lots of things. A few I wanted to offer up to y’all out in fitness blogland.

Mary’s Random Fitness Stuff Giveaway

Here’s what’s available:

PedometerWeight Watchers pedometer that tracks activity points. Never used. Still in package.

Billy BlanksBilly Blanks Taebo Bootcamp DVD.

Biggest LoserBiggest Loser Bootcamp DVD.

DanceDance DVD

Biggest Loser Jump StartBiggest Loser 30-Day Jump Start book. Pretty much new. Never read.

Body for LifeBody For Life for Women book.

End Of OvereatingThe End Of Overeating book.

Anything catch your fancy? It can be yours for the low price of a comment telling me what you want!  If there isn’t any competition you’ll win and if there is then you will have a chance with the random number generator (I’ll assign you a number based on your comment). Comments will be open until noon tomorrow, and I’ll be shipping stuff Thursday!  Only open to US residents unless you’d like to pay for shipping.

Have fun!

    • Mary says

      August 10, 2010 at 11:45 am

      Hahaha. I’m not. I’m just a minimalist and realistic about dragging stuff across an ocean. ;) So basically I’m really happy and just want my stuff to help people if it can!

    I’m glad to see that so far no one else wants the dance DVD. I want it! If it’s not too greedy I’ll also throw my lot in for the billy blanks DVD.

  20. Gretchen says

    August 10, 2010 at 12:41 pm

    Hi Mary,

    I just wanted to drop you a quick note in a not-competing-for-free-stuff kinda way and say that I found your blog and think that it’s really great. You’re such an inspiration for me, as I’m 22, trying to lose weight, and also involved in a long-distance relationship (though not as long-distance as yours! New Zealand will be so totally worth it once you get there though, I’m sure!) Feel free to check out my new blog if you feel the inclination: http://honeyishrunkthegretchen.com.

    And keep up the amazing work! You’re looking great. :)
    Gretchen

    • Mary says

      August 10, 2010 at 1:01 pm

  21. Katie says

    August 10, 2010 at 12:47 pm

  22. Mary says

    August 10, 2010 at 12:58 pm

    Aw, thanks Sarah! You’ll be entered to win all of those! Good luck! :)

  23. Lisa @ I'm an Okie says

    August 10, 2010 at 1:34 pm

    End of overeating please! :)

  24. Ashley @Getting Stronger, Burning Fat says

    August 10, 2010 at 1:39 pm

    The end of overeating is much needed NOW! THANK YOU :)

  25. Cynthia (It All Changes) says

    August 10, 2010 at 1:48 pm

    I would like Body for Life for women or Biggest Loser Boot camp. They would be great additions to my schedule.

  26. Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says

    August 10, 2010 at 2:24 pm

    I’d love the End of Overeating plus the WW pedometer that tracks APs!!!

  27. Kimberly says

    August 10, 2010 at 2:27 pm

  29. Caitlin says

    August 10, 2010 at 2:30 pm

  30. Alex says

    August 10, 2010 at 2:30 pm

    I’d be pretty thrilled to win the dance DVD… :-)

  31. Shari says

    August 10, 2010 at 2:31 pm

    Ooo, I’d love either the pedometer or Billy Blanks’ Boot Camp DVD!

    BTW, I found you through Flickr, because I believe you are also a UU alum? I’m enjoying seeing your journey to eating healthier as I’m on one myself and have been for the last five years… lost 73 lbs on WW, gained 27 of them back last year, lost 12 of those earlier this year, and have gained 7 of THOSE back in the last month. Whew! It’s a daily struggle, I know. Wish you lots of success!

    • Mary says

      August 10, 2010 at 4:15 pm

      Oh wow! That’s really cool Shari! I am a UU alum! I graduated in 2008, right after the tornadoes hit. :) I lost a lot of weight during college but then gained some back after graduating and now I’m losing it again. It is a daily thing but it’s worth it!

      • Shari says

        August 10, 2010 at 7:55 pm

        Let’s see, you were probably somewhere around seven years old when I graduated…. ;) It was ’93 (and ’94, actually), so quite awhile, but I still keep up closely and have several good friends on the faculty who I visit there from time to time. I’m impressed you were able to lose while at UU… that’s where I gained most of mine! :)

  32. Kate says

    August 10, 2010 at 2:39 pm

    I wouldn’t mind ANY of them! I especially like the Urban Street Hip Dance DVD! I can see me trying to bust out some dance moves some night (after a few drinks of course!)

  33. Life in Liz's Shoes says

    August 10, 2010 at 2:44 pm

    You are going to have such a fantastic time in NZ!

    I love clearing out the clutter – when it is over I bet you (& your family ) will feel great :)

    I would love the chance to get any of the DVD’s or the biggest loser book.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  34. Jody - Fit at 52 says

    August 10, 2010 at 2:59 pm

    Mary, so unbelievable that you are headed out to NZ & life has changed so much for you since I first started reading your blog… adventure, as I like to say & that poem says it well!

    I would love a couple of those giveaways but I think some may need it more than I do so I will just say…. may the adventure continue!

  35. Janece S. says

    August 10, 2010 at 2:59 pm

    Well, throw my name (number?) in the pot for the pedometer, pretty please?! Glad you enjoyed your exercise, woot!! =)

  36. lyndawithaY says

    August 10, 2010 at 3:25 pm

  38. Molly says

    August 10, 2010 at 4:55 pm

  39. Lisa says

    August 10, 2010 at 4:56 pm

    “The End of Overeating” book looks like something I’d want to read!

  40. Elizabeth says

    August 10, 2010 at 5:19 pm

    The End of Overeating. I’m struggling with this very situation and would like to see what David Kessler has to say…. plus there’s carrot cake on the cover.

  41. jen (@jeninRL) says
