Can you believe it's Day 30 already? Just 12 more days to go.

On Day 22, we asked how you find the right balance between healthy living and living it up. Boot Camper 'Kat D' told us:

"I have become a reformed perfectionist. Almost my entire life I have demanded perfection of and from myself. It’s a recipe for failure! I have learned to strive for excellence, NOT perfection. This means not being so hard on myself and being patient with myself. It doesn’t include forgiving myself because nothing that I do or don’t do requires forgiveness because - I’m not perfect and that is finally OK with me!"

Kat D wins a copy of Kirsten Hartvig's book The Healthy Diet Calorie Counter, and to balance it out, a copy of Daisy Westmoor's It Doesn't Count if . . . it's the Last One — and 204 More Reasons Why You Can Eat That.

Thanks for inspiring us to shoot for excellence as we continue Boot Camping through the next 12 days!

Our goal as Boot Campers is to develop healthy habits we can stick to, and that means balance is important.

That's why today we're running a contest to GIVE AWAY a copy of Kirsten Hartvig's book The Healthy Diet Calorie Counter, which measures the goodness of more than 600 foods. It's a handy reference to keep you on track and to help you count calories with exact precision.

. . . and yang.)

To balance out the science of diets, we'll also give the winner a copy of Daisy Westmoor's It Doesn't Count if . . . it's the Last One — and 204 More Reasons Why You Can Eat That. It's full of "perfectly reasonable" reasons why calories don't count. (Certainly not words to live by, but a good antidote when you feel like you're overdoing it on your diet!)

For your chance to WIN, let us know how you find the right balance between healthy living and living it up!

You have until Monday, February 2 to share your secret. I'll announce the winner here on Tuesday, February 3.
