It’s that time of year again. The healthy eating you practiced throughout the year took a hit in October with those leftover Halloween treats, then again in November as you enjoyed Thanksgiving, and now you are faced with the biggest dilemma of all – your New Year’s resolutions.
Those dreaded resolutions are just around the corner. How are you doing this holiday season? If you cringe at the question, you are not the only one. So, what sorts of promises will you need to make for yourself for 2009? This year, make your resolutions stick. But, how do you stick with it? By making it easy and fun, and by setting a solid foundation for the rest of the year. You can do this by taking part in the Meals Matter Nutrition and Fitness Challenge.
The Nutrition and Fitness Challenge is geared toward people like you – people who have a hectic work and home life, possibly leading you to eat out too often or choose less than ideal meal options on the run. Not only is dining out often unfriendly to your waistline, in these economic times it’s certainly not friendly to your wallet either. 
The Nutrition and Fitness Challenge has a variety of healthy lifestyle tools online that can help you to make better meal choices for you and your family. You can use our Personal Nutrition Planner to map out your current eating habits and set your goals or take the Calcium Quiz to find out if you are getting enough calcium-rich foods in your diet. You can also use the MyFitness Planner to make sure your nutrition is balanced by a fitness regime. And, just for fun, you can learn how your lifestyle dictates your eating habits by taking the What’s Your Food Personality quiz.
As the weeks of the Challenge progress, you can shift your focus from the New Year to the rest of 2009. The Nutrition and Fitness Challenge gives you the start you need and the Meals Matter website can help you continue to stick to your resolutions.
