1. My SMART Goal: I will eliminate all paper products including napkins, paper towels, paper plates, and paper cups from my lifestyle. Also eating at fast food only one time per week.
2. This week I did not do so well on achieving my SMART goal. On Wednesday in Hlth 4000 class, we had fruit salad for snack and I was hungry and the only option I had available for a plate was to use a paper plate. I also ate fast food one time during the week, which consisted of a paper bag, napkins, a paper french fry container, and paper that wrapped my sandwich. I did not do my best in dealing with the challenges this week.
3. I felt a little guilty using the paper plates for snack time during class but even though I used a paper plate I was still using less paper than I used to before I created my SMART goal.
4. Even though I did not meet my SMART goal this week I did learn that my awareness for using paper products has increased. When I went to grab snack in HLTH 4000 and saw the paper plates, I immediately thought of my SMART goal, but was too hungry to not use the paper plates.
5. I am going to keep my SMART goal the same and hopefully I can plan to make better decision when a challenge arises.
It is cool that you noticed so quickly that you were using a paper plate. Obviously your SMART goal is becoming more of a habit. I know I have made little mistakes along the way or forgotten to do one of my goals, but that made me want to try harder the next week. So keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYour aware! That is a huge start. And, as Sara says, it is becoming a habit, so when you are about to go to old habits, your thinking about it. That is a great place to get to. Keeps you on course and moving forward.
ReplyDeleteGood work!
As Judy and Sarah said, awareness is key! permanent change is a process. When you are trying to change a habit and accidentally slip up, it's easy to just give up altogether. So good for you, for acknowledging your little "oops" and carrying on!
