**UPDATE**
Congrats to the winner, Jennifer Jozwiak!

You know how when you work at something day after day, night after night, foregoing precious time with yourself family, just to reach that final goal you’ve set for yourself?
That’s how I feel about the opportunity I have to offer you the best giveaway known to mankind I’ve ever hosted. After years of slaving away at this laptop, building relationships, and making up stuff developing my voice, I’ve been given the chance to work with one of the most renowned companies in the world: Nintendo.
To be honest, I’m not much of a gamer. There are a few games I like to play, but in general, my idea of fun centers around inactivity in front of the TV rather than being actively engaged.
Until the Wii™ came along.
My inactivity levels were forced to decline. I had to actually get off my butt to play a video game. I really do remember the first time I saw a Wii™ and how to play a Wii™. I felt it would change the way home entertainment would be seen. Being active. Playing a video game. weird.
We were those people who searched and scoured and begged/pleaded/fought for a Wii after they were released onto the retail shelves. After literally months of waiting for our Wii™ system, we finally brought our baby it home and were immediately mesmerized. ACTION in FRONT of the TV.
And then? The Wii Fit™. Oh. My. Golly. Even MORE action in front of the TV? And playing fitness games will help me lose weight? (I swear the Wii™ gets more action than other things around here.) SOLD!
Just this past Fall, Nintendo released a new edition of Wii Fit™ called Wii Fit™ Plus. (P.S. I received a copy of the new Wii Fit™ Plus software in exchange for telling you about its awesomeness.) They’ve added to the core of the activities to make them better, more efficient, and more engaging. With tailored routines, you can plan your workout to make the most of your time. For someone like me, that’s incredibly motivating. That, and my girls pestering me to “play the board game!” every afternoon.
Here’s the reason you stopped by. (It’s ok, I know it’s not all about me. It’s about the free stuff.)

Nintendo has given me a Wii™ system (MSRP $199) AND a Wii Fit™ Plus (MSRP $99) and I am going to give them away to one lucky winner.
