We have come together! I was inspired almost instantly when many of my virtual friends began joining me in the fight.
We have decided that we will reclaim our healthy habits in December and not succumb to the usual holiday excuses. For whatever has gotten you off track lately, this is the chance to come together and get back on it. For some of us it is healthier eating, for some it may be increasing activity, for others it may be mental road blocks. The point is whatever is holding you back, causing you to feel like you are off that track, work on it starting December 1 and make it a priority to stay on that track all month long.
The holiday season brings along many chances for derailment. Some will be busy and focused on others and forget to take time for themselves. Others may have too many holiday parties to navigate through. Some may just not like being out in the cold ;) Whatever the excuses are we can work on them together and over come it!
I am so grateful and inspired by you all joining me that I have decided I will pick a 'winner' at the end of the month and send them a special gift! Of course we will all be winners at the end of December because we will have reclaimed our healthy habits that normally may have eluded us through the toughest month of the year ;) But one special winner will get an extra prize!
I am not a fan of having a million things to do for a contest so I am keeping it simple. Let me know in a comment, on twitter, or facebook that you are in and check in with us once in awhile and let us know how its going. If you see us on twitter give a shout out of encouragment we will be using the hash tag #back2basics and if you want, blog about it and check in let us know how its going :) I will ask everyone who took part to comment or tweet and pick a winner from there on December 31st!
Thank you for helping me get back to basics! I will share my goals for the month tomorrow :)

So excited so many are taking part in your #back2basics challenge! Such a great idea! I love all the support within the online health and fitness community!
OK, I'm in. My focus is on after-dinner snacking. Or on NOT snacking after dinner. And I'm starting tonight--not waiting for tomorrow. :-)
Colleen, this is a fantastic idea! I will donate a copy of my newest book, Gratitude Power for Runners and Walkers, to the cause. Just tell me at the end of December who should get it, and I will autograph and send it!
I have written down my plan for December and I'm ready to start tomorrow December 1!
Thank you for letting me part of this challenge.
I'm in and I'll be sure to follow the hashtag on twitter!
Hi Colleen,
I am in as well - love the idea
Thanks Colleen for organzing

I am totally in! December & the first part of January are the WORST for me. My work schedule gets crazy busy and I don't always get a workout in. But, I'm really going to try this year to always get my workout done in the morning, so that should help.
I'm in. :)
I'm in!! :)
I am in! I had just written about this very topic on my blog about two weeks ago. My focus is going to be on the eating part of my life - the activity is basically there - although I could probably push myself a little bit more! You are a great inspiration Colleen - I have already been following the #backtobasics hashtag so I will definitely keep in touch! Thank you!
How is it going for everyone? #back2basics is hopping!
