Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Goal Week 7: Weekly Update

 My Smart Goal: To drink six to eight 8 ounce glasses of water everyday in my reusable metal water bottle, and to also use a reusable bag every time I go to the grocery store!

Successes and Challenges: This past week went pretty well for me!  I slipped up this past weekend with drinking all my water, which is kind of disappointing.  My sister was home from California so I was spending a lot of time with her and wasn't really paying attention to how much water I was drinking.  I finally went to the grocery store and got to use my reusable bag, which I was pretty excited about!  I just keep a reusable bag in my car so that I know every time I go to the grocery store I won't have to worry about not having it with me!
Feelings: Overall I'm feeling pretty good.  
I slipped up a little with my goal, but nothing too big.  My sister and I actually had a really great conversation about using reusable bags and water bottles, and how the things that you do may not seem like a big deal, but they can add up and make a difference. 
What I Learned:  My sister currently works for a company called Wellsprings in California, it is pretty much a weight loss camp/academy.  She said that they hand out plastic bottles of water to the individuals in their program all the time and that she knows those bottles don't always get recycled.  So, we thought it would be a good idea if she recommended to one of the head coordinators the idea that as a part of coming to camp each participant was given a reusable water bottle.  This way they would be cutting back on waste while still ensuring that the campers have access to water!
Plans for Next Week: I'm keeping everything the same for this upcoming week!  I am really happy with my goal so far and how everything is going!
