A Love Dare Giveaway

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! The winner is Debra!

Katelyn pulled the name out of the cup and asked ” Did I win your book?” lol. She still doesn’t understand why her name wasn’t in the cup.

Debra, congratulations! Enjoy the book.

Thank you everyone for entering the giveaway. Stay tuned for more.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a “Love Dare” recap. The reason being that there’s been a lot going on! However, the last few chapters of  ” The Love Dare” have dares that are very personal. So I figured I’d leave those dares a mystery to you and instead give away a copy of “The Love Dare” for you to read for yourself!

Meet my new friend Mr. Elliptical

Let’s look at him from a different angle,shall we?

Pretty sweet, huh? And sorry! This is not the giveaway. Mike and I got this elliptical on sale online with free shipping. This elliptical’s stride is long enough for my 6′7 hubby, yet, I’m still able to use it myself. We are hoping this elliptical will help us get fit. We want to be able to live a more energetic lifestyle and be able to set a good example for our kids on healthy eating and exercise. Which leads me to my giveaway!

I recently received a book to review called “Fit Home Team” by Jorge and Laura Posada. Jorge Posada is the catcher for the New York Yankees and obviously has to be fit to play the sport that he does. Him and his wife have written this fabulous book on nutrition and family fitness. It’s a quality, hard cover book that has a ton of healthy and fun recipes, health and nutrition information, and exercise tips and ideas for the whole family. I am really enjoying trying out the ideas and recipes in this book. And on top of all I mentioned above it has a ton of color photos of the Posada family doing the different activities they talk about. I really like this book because the Posadas actually incorporate what they talk about in their book into their own family lifestyle and they make exercise and eating right a family affair. Below you can watch a clip I got off youtube of Jorge and Laura talking about their book.

I have one extra copy of this book to send to one lucky reader. You can do two things to enter this giveaway

1)Leave me a comment. If you comment you are automatically entered to win this book. Unless you state that you don’t want it and are just leaving a comment because you want to. Which is fine as well!

2) For a second entry and chance to win you can also copy my blog badge/button into the sidebar of your blog. I’d much appreciate that! Scroll down to the bottom of my sidebar and you’ll see my “Simply Mel” blog button with the code underneath for pasting it into your sidebar. Just copy that code and follow the specific instructions for posting things in your sidebar for whatever blogging service you use.If you decide to do this as well let me know in a separate comment so I can check out your blog.

This giveaway will end tomorrow night, Sept. 19th at 9:00 pm my time(Eastern?). I’ll post the winner at the top of this post.

Now that I’m done writing this post I think I’ll go get on my new friend Mr. Elliptical.
