Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 9: Weekly Update

My Smart Goal:

To drink six to eight 8 ounce glasses of water in my reusable metal water bottle everyday, and to also use a reusable bag every time I go to the grocery store!
Successes & Challenges:
This past week I was home for the majority of the time and I am proud to say that I was drinking more water than usual. Again, I was picking up my water bottle and drinking out of it without even thinking twice. I also got strep throat over the break and was drinking water like it was going out of style! I couldn't get enough of it, water was the one thing that made my throat feel good! I did however use a plastic bag when I went to the grocery store to pick up some cold medicine. I didn't even realize it until I was out in the car. I was upset with myself, and I almost brought the plastic bag back inside the store.
Feelings:
Overall, I am still feeling great about how my goal is coming along! I do slip up every once in a while, but I am human and mistakes do happen. I really do notice a difference in how I feel now that I have been drinking all my water. It's hard to explain, but I just feel like my body is lighter.
What I Learned:
I think the biggest thing that I have learned from this past week is that people are bound to make mistakes, but coming up with ways that help reduce the amount of mistakes people make is really important. This past week has really made me think about my use of reusable bags and has got me thinking of things that I can do to make using reusable bags a big part of my life, so that I always remember to use them!
Plans For Next Week:
Things are going to stay the same for this upcoming week! Hopefully I won't be carelessly using any more plastic bags!
