One Final Task (Giveaway!)

By 788 Comments

**THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ENTERED!**

Back while I was at the Healthy Living Summit, I mentioned to you all how I had been approached by Champion USA to be a part of their ‘Shape Your Life’ Blogger Ambassador Program, where I would be able to test out some of the latest products from their line.

I was given three outfits that were hand-picked for me by a Champion stylist, based on my personality, lifestyle, and workout routines. (In case you missed any of the outfits, you can check them out here, here, and here.)

In addition to reviewing the various pieces of clothing that were sent to me and sharing them all with you, there is one final task with my participation in the program that I must do…and I’m pretty sure you guys are gonna like it. (keep reading…) Winking smile

***

After testing out all three outfits that were sent to me to review, my favorite (hands down) was the very first outfit that I wore at the Healthy Living Summit:

Top: Shape Smoothing Long Top

Bottoms: Shape Fitted Smoothing Knee Pants

IMG_7170 (640x480)

I loved everything about both of these pieces: the comfortable fit, the smoothing material (goodbye, belly pooch!), the colors, the lack of tags…just all of it!

IMG_7179 (480x640)

Well, the nice folks at Champion have given me the opportunity to share the wealth a bit by doing a little giveaway, SO…

I’M GIVING AWAY MY FAVORITE OUTFIT!

Yep! One lucky reader will win a Shape Smoothing Long Top and Shape Fitted Smoothing Knee Pants of her very own.

  16. I have been lurking around your blog for a while and have yet to leave a comment, but this isn't an opportunity to be missed! :) So, this is officially my first post! On any blog for that matter. And I made the banana pumpkin raisin bread this weekend! So tasty.

  18. Happy Comment #1: Bought buckwheat last night, and just had it for breakfast. It was amazing. I loved it. I might convert from oatmeal. Happy comment #2: Champion work out gear is a-mazing!

  27. Been reading your blog for a while but never left a comment before so thought I would just let you know how much I enjoy reading your blog :) Love the champion outfit too!!

  39. I think a new workout outfit (that isn't pink) will motivate me to get up and get going once again. Have given up running for a few months because I can't seem to get my mind cleared enough to enjoy running. I am a mother of a Sailor that is currently in bootcamp and I'm counting down the days till I see him again (9 days to be exact). After graduation I think I'll be able to "free my mind".

  59. Courtney, I think you're awesome...I think your blog is awesome and I also think these workout clothes look awesome! =) I am a relatively new reader/follower/advocate of yours and you have really helped me in my everyday lifestyle and fitness attitude!! I was backpacking & hiking last Saturday with my boyfriend in Zaleski, Ohio which was a challenging course in itself - let alone the fact that we backtracked and got kinda lost! =0 I had a great attitude the entire time up until this point, noticed that my attitude was changing a bit due to wanting to get to our site, take off my heavy backpack/equipment, build a fire, set up camp and finally relax! Couldn't quite get out of that funky state of mind until I thought of you, your inspirational blogs, and your never-giving-up mentality that reinforced my attitude and kicked my butt into high gear ;) This little story I wanted to share with you because I love how you've changed my overall outlook on everything and on that day made me appreciate being healthy and athletically inclined enough of a person to be able to move on and finish even though we were lost! So what I'm trying to say is thank you so much, and I appreciate everything you do to the fullest! Ps. Wanted to let you know I went on facebook to like the Champion Page, and left a comment there as well as on twitter! Have a great Wednesday! =)

  67. I LOVE Champion! They are hands down my favorite brand...I literally have one of their empire waist workout tops in SEVEN different colors. Great giveaway!!

  92. Hey Courtney! I'm a relatively new reader (lovin' the blog so far) and a brand-spankin'-new commenter. :) I LOVE Champion workout clothes. I have several pieces by them -- sports bras, running capris, running tights. They're all the bomb! I'd love to win!
    Reply

  96. LOVE champion! I'm usually good at finding tops on my own...but those fitted capris you are wearing are AWESOME! I would die to have a pair of my own! Thanks!
    Reply

  99. I really want this outfit! I have been looking everywhere for workout pants like this and so far have not had any luck. I keep finding pants that flare at the bottom oppose to fit. I also retweeted about it on twitter :)

  114. Love this giveaway!! I am in dire need of new workout gear, but they're not so easy to obtain on a student budget. Also I forgot to comment about study habits the other day...since your studying fitness it might help to do some of the stuff your learning when your going through your flash cards. Writing everything out is a great technique but I find that combining that with something interactive (which would be simple with your course) is a great way to learn. It helps the mind to remember with all the repetition but then your body gets used to it as well.

  122. I LOVE the champion gear!! After trying out tons of different target sports bras that didn't offer enough support, I tried out a champion high support sports bra and instantly fell in love! Finally some good support! I'm sure these products would be amazing as well!
    Reply

  132. AHH! I'm so excited about this :) I need workout clothes soooo bad but my budget doesn't allow it! This outfit you're giving away is awesome, too!

  136. This is my first time on your blog, and I'm loving it so far! Your story is inspiring and just what I needed to brighten my day. Thanks so much for blogging, and I hope to read more soon!! :)

  147. I love Champion workout clothing! the quality is great, the price is amazing. I hate spending tons of money on one piece of workout clothing. Champion makes great quality items that look just like the more expensive brands and the price is so much better.

  151. I recently started reading healthy living blogs and yours is one of the first I started reading regularly. It is great inspiration and motivation for me and I can't wait to try out some of these recipes! Oh...and giveaways area always fun!

  159. Hey Courtney!! Sooo...

I'm not crazy I promise....I would love a chance to win this outfit, but even if I don't I think I will still have to purchase it! Looks like the perfect workout outfit for me, not to mention I am in serious need of new workout clothes! Plus then I could do a review on my blog for my Tone it Up teammates we are always looking for new workout gear! Thanks for all that you do girl, Keep on rockin! :)

  480. I am a firm believer that one of the best motivators for a good run will always be new workout clothes! The first outfit you showed off happened to be my favorite of the three – probably because it includes two pieces I’m always looking for! I love how comfy and flattering each piece looks without being too bulky or too showy. Thanks so much for spreading the love about your new gear!

Well, you've made it onto my bookmarks toolbar! :)

  513. I just started Couch to 5K. I am having trouble with my ankles but really want to stick with it. Last year, I did the Susan G. Komen 3 day for the Cure. If I can walk 60 miles in just 3 days I should be able to run just 3.1. It is just eluding me. I could use some motivation and you do that every day. I think that winning would be awesome!

  526. Hi! I am a new reader after being linked to your blog after reading others who went to HLS. I would love to try the champion clothes! I love love lululemon but I need to better budget my $$ since I am in the process of buying a houese. I have actually been eyeing the champion clothers over at target. I am also in a major workout funk and a new outfit is usually the best thing to get me motivated and back to the gym!

  676. Well, say anything to win? Awesome. Okay, tonight after I get out of my GIS lab I'm looking forward to watching the season 4 of Dexter finale. I realize I'm about one season behind the new season coming out, but whatever. This show is so amazing and I highly recommend it. I'm not big on blood and gore, but the producers/director does this show so tastefully and it has such an intriguing storyline. Anywho! This has nothing to do with the Champion giveaway, but it's still something worth mentioning. :-)
