Be Victorious this year with Special K *Giveaway*

Special K recently launched its “Be Victorious” program…just in time for New Year’s resolutions. They enlisted the help of six real women who have revealed what makes them feel victorious.

The “Be Victorious” women share some of their Victories, that were part of their television ad.

  • Mary, age 30, Chicago, Ill.: “My victory is looking into a mirror and liking the woman looking back at me.”
  • Jeannie, age 27, Gloucester, Va.: “My victory is running a marathon.”
  • Jacquelyn, age 35, Lindenhurst, Ill.: “My victory is to show Isabelle that mommy feels confident.”
  • Courtney, age 35, Chicago, Ill.: “My victory is hearing those four little words: ‘Have you lost weight?’”
  • Kristi, age 26, Chicago, Ill.: “My victory is to not have to use my arms to cover my stomach.”
  • Melissa, age 33, Oswego, Ill.: “My victory is to not have to use body-shaping undergarments.”

What am I doing this year to “Be Victorious”? I am training with one of my best friends Megan to run a marathon in April. I am so excited about it, and even more excited about getting healthy!

Special K supplied me with a Resolution Party Pack filled with my favorite Special K products —including the newest additions to the Special K lineup— Special K Fruit Crisps and Special K Low-Fat Granola. I am in love with the Special k Fruit Crisps. They taste like mini pop tarts and the kids love them too.

Want to win your own Resolution Party Pack? One winner will receive their own! Here is what is included:

    I most identify with Jacquelyn because she is a mom, and she knows that if you set aside some time for yourself, then you’ll end up being a much better parent because you won’t feel as resentful or exhausted.

    It’s funny I was just checking out Special K’s website and looking at this program along with a variety of exercise programs. I am even considering making a blog to mark my progress each step of the way (partly because it will keep me honest if I am out there for the world to see)
    I think I most relate to Courtney, age 35, Chicago, Ill. I want to lose enough weight for someone to notice and so that I notice and feel healthier and better about me.

    I most relate to Courtney; I’ve been trying for years to lose enough weight for people to notice. It always sounds vain coming from me, but it’s more than just wanting people to notice “Oh, you look good.” but people to know that you didn’t just wish for it but worked your butt off for it…literally.

    Jacquelyn because I just turned 40 and have a 2 yr. old. I need to lose lots of weight to grow up with my little boy confidently and able to play. This package looks perfect for a jump start.

    I identify with Jacquelyn because she is a mom and realizes the importance of setting time for yourself to help you be a better parent. My “me” time is my morning workout at the gym while my daughter is in the gym daycare, 6 days a week (sometimes 7 on a hard week!). I know when my gym was closed for a month due to hurricane damage in 2008, I nearly went crazy until it reopened!
