University of Illinois Extension Nutrition Educator Discusses Healthy Habits for 2021

If a New Year's Resolution for you was centered on being healthier in 2021, you are not alone and for many, that resolution falls short very quickly.

 

Caitlin Mellendorf with the University of Illinois Extension office indicates setting a 'SMART' goal helps us set more specific goals to get to their goals of weight loss or regular exercise.

 

 

Mellendorf encourages having a partner to go with us on this journey. She says that can be a friend, a spouse, or even hiring a personal trainer or dietician. They can be a great resource in this journey.

 

 

As we embark on your journey of wellness, Mellendorf says don't do too much at once. Additionally, we're going to stumble along the way and she encourages us not to get discouraged but to start fresh the next day and continue working towards those goals.

 

 

Mellendorf offers a blog at the University of Illinois Extension website with lots of healthy recipes and health tips. You can find it at go.illinois.edu/dmp.
