Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change: Week 3
My SMART is to eat 3 servings of fresh vegetables everyday. Achieving my goal this week was difficult once again. Some successes I had was making sure I ate 3 servings of vegetables daily fresh or not fresh. There wasn't really any strategies that came into when making sure I ate 3 servings daily. But some challenges I had was making sure I had fresh vegetables around the house. This time it wasn't so much that I was leaving to go somewhere, like going home last week, it was more I've been really tight on money because I had car issues and bills to pay and everything just seemed pile on at once money wise. I decided that for this week just the 3 servings of vegetables daily would be better than eating 1 serving of fresh vegetables daily. I felt a little disappointed in myself when I wasn't able to eat fresh vegetables but like I said I figured just eating vegetables in general was better than nothing. I learned this week, and not with just this assignment but I learned in general that I need to manage my money better although some things, like car troubles, I can't help. My plans for this next week is to come up with a budget plan. I will continue with my SMART, I am determined to complete this challenge.

You're right. Budgeting is huge when it comes to fruits and vegetables. It seems like they are way more expensive than meat or dairy and whatnot. Have you thought about eating what is in season? For example, a lot of apples are in season after October; and citrus is in season after November. Ever noticed that fresh citrus fruit tastes wayyy better in December than in April? I dunno...seems like that to me :)
ReplyDeleteWay to be determined! I am really bad at managing my money as well. Sorry to hear about your car troubles though. I hope this week is going better for you!
ReplyDeleteThinking about money is so annoying, I find myself putting less and less money towards groceries all the time. It's obviously hard to get the same quality when cutting the budget constantly. I had stupid car issues earlier this year too, so sorry to hear about your problems, cause it definitely is hard to afford things you want when repair bills are piling up.
