Interview with Food Network's Claire Robinson

Do you make resolutions every January that are forgotten by February?  All of us do!  Sometimes I think we just get so excited to make changes that our goals set us up for failure.  Celebrity chef and Food Network star Claire Robinson offers tips to bloggers on how to make resolutions that you actually want to keep.  She will provide information on everything from how to make healthier eating choices to tips on establishing what matters most for your upcoming year. 

Luckily, I got to be one of the bloggers to interview her.  The following is a clip of her and I talking.  I'm on the phone, she's on camera.

In case you don't feel like watching, here are some of Claire's suggestions for keeping your 2012 resolutions:


GET EDUCATED TO MAKE HEALTHIER EATING CHOICES-  A common mistake is that people make drastic decisions (such as instantly turning vegan) that are difficult to keep.  In order to make healthy choices last for the long-term, you must make taste a priority. 
GET INVOLVED - Make a commitment to give back to your community, focusing on an organization or project that you feel passionate about to kick off the new year.   
CREATE A BUILT-IN REWARD SYSTEM - To reinforce your long-term health goals, you should implement a built-in reward system that allows you to celebrate the small victories and keeps you motivated.  


She has great ideas - including portioning out your snacks (which I've already posted about!)  This interview was sponsored by Dove Chocolate which is hosting a fantastic giveaway that should be up tomorrow!
