My SMART Goal was to eat 3 servings of vegetables everyday. The first few days of starting my SMART goal went really well. I ate some fresh green beans, green peppers, etc. I then went home for the weekend and ran into some challenges, that set me back. A challenge I faced was on Saturday I went to Cranberry Festival in my home town, I was there from 9:30am to 6:00pm and the only food available to for me to eat was either burgers or hotdogs. There wasn't a whole lot of options for vegetables. Solution could have been that when I got home at six was to just eat all three servings but that caused another problem/challenge. Because my house is now used as our cabin and my parents are only up there on the weekends, they don't keep fresh vegetables around. In replacement of no fresh vegetables I ate canned vegetables (which I know aren't as healthy) and recycled the can, so I got in most my servings and still kept it Eco-Chic by recycling. What I learned this week was to plan for different environments, such as traveling home. My plans for this next week are think ahead and what my plans are and try and figure out how I'm going to get my three servings of FRESH vegetables. I will be keeping my SMART Goal as is.
Sorry you ran into problems with your goal! Definitely a lesson learned right?! Also try and think about how hard it is for people who travel a lot for their profession to eat healthy. They probably rarely, if ever, get to eat multiple servings of fresh vegetables in a week.
ReplyDeleteWay to improvise with the canned vegetables! It would be hard to always plan out how you will be able to get the vegetables in that you need! I am interested to hear how this week goes for you!
