For my SMART goal, I decided I would eat three servings of organic fruits and vegetables a day. This last week I spent five of the days back in my hometown of Grand Rapids, and didn't bring the food I had bought with me. And it being Thanksgiving, I spent most of my time eating the food my mom prepared for our family dinner. I did however bring a few apples and oranges back from Duluth with me so while I fell short of my goal for 4 of the days, I did manage to eat a serving or two per day as a snack.
The biggest challenge I faced was the traveling. I didn't want to spend extra money for some food I may or may not eat and then transfer it back to Duluth, so I just brought what I could back to GR for snacks.
I felt bad that I couldn't follow through on my goal for the week, but I know that my circumstances changed from their norm.
I know that for the future, if I have goals like this, that I may have to plan and make extra sacrifices in order to meet them.
I'm going to continue on with my goal because I still feel like I can obtain it and feel like it is a good one for me to continue to live healthy. Having said that I want to be more diligent in following it for the duration of the goals timeline.

It's too bad you didn't achieve your goal this past week, but you can try to make it up for the next week. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone had a hard time over thanksgiving. I think it's the exception. Good luck this week, though!
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is definitely a hard time to maintain a food related goal, Im sure now that you are back in the swing of things it will be much more attainable.
ReplyDeleteYes as far as I know everybody did. But I think that you are determined and you will meet your goal next week for sure. Its also hard when someone else is cooking your food. Better luck next week.
ReplyDeleteGood luck continuing with your goal. This is a great goal to have and it is understandable that you struggled a bit with it while you were not in your normal and everyday surroundings. Best of luck in the weeks to come.
