About me:
Sara Floor Miller started using the MealsMatter.org in 2001 when she moved out of Manhattan and learned takeout was no longer a viable daily-dinner option. In 2006, when she joined Dairy Council of California as Communications Manager and was delighted to promote the very website that helped her learn how to cook and plan healthy, affordable meals.
Sara holds a bachelor’s degree in Spanish from Wells College and a master’s degree in Public Communications from Fordham University. She is an active member of the Capitol City Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. In her free time, Sara enjoys reading, designing jewelry and volunteering at the River City Community Food Bank and Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary in Sacramento.

According to a recently-published Thomson Reuters-NPR Health Poll, 51 percent of Americans have set New Year's resolutions to excercise more and 35 percent have promised to lose weight. I've already read countless Facebook posts about friends throwing out piles "unhealthy" food, complaining of hunger pangs on a starvation diet and icing sore muscles after overdoing it in the gym.
If that sounds familiar, imagine for a moment giving yourself permission to enjoy an occasional hot fudge sundae or skip the 6 a.m. spin class in exchange for some much needed rest. Go ahead and break your New Year's resolution. It's ok. In fact, the Meals Matter Moms recommend it!
Reading Dr. Michelle May's article about the difference between resolutions and results helped convince me to break the cycle of resolutions and instead continue to take small steps toward reaching my health goals.
Sound good? Join our resolution revolution!
As Meals Matter Moms and Registered Dietitians, we believe this positive, realistic approach is the key to achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Instead of a "make or break" New Year's resolution, set a small goal to form a healthy habit, then set another goal to build upon your new habit.
In conjunction with the 19th Annual Healthy Weight Week (Jan. 15-21), which celebrates healthy living habits that last a lifetime, join us on Wednesday, Jan. 18 from 10-11 a.m. PST for a live Facebook chat with our Registered Dietitians and Meals Matter Moms about letting go of resolutions while setting achievable goals that can make a big difference for your health!
