Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 1: My SMART Goal

Over the next 10 weeks I will be setting a goal for myself to help improve my own life and also be environmentally friendly.  SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely.  These adjectives help create efficient goals for people looking to set them.

My goal:  I will eat three servings of organic fruits/vegetables each day for the next 10 weeks.

This lifestyle is eco-chic because I will be trying to buy locally as much as possible.  I plan on going tothe Whole Foods Co-Op and find some new foods to help me find diversity in my diet.  I prepare most of my meals myself, but I would like to have more balance in keeping fruits and vegetables a part of my meals to keep me healthier.  This will also help contribute to less waste as fruits and vegetables are more easily broken down by the environment.

I chose this goal as a part of other goals I have recently set for myself.  I had been struggling with some other areas of my life lately and it had started to take a negative impact on my health.  I have begun to exercise more regularly in an effort to help me have more energy, reduce stress hormone, lower my weight and body fat percentage, and aid in getting more regular sleep.  As a part of all this I am placing more emphasis on a well rounded diet to aid in the process.  I feel like I can learn more about foods I would like to eat, help the local economy, and be responsible about my planets future, all in one goal.
