1. My SMART goal is to use a reusable water bottle instead of a plastic water bottle everyday for the rest of the semester and hopefully the rest of my life.I was able to achieve my smart goal because last week, my plan was to finish the two water bottles I currently had. I successfully drank the last two water bottles and drank from my reusable water bottle the entire week!
2. It was again challenging to remember to grab my water bottle and fill it up before I left. I am thinking of leaving one of my water bottles at school in my locker so that if I do forget one I can always have one there and will not have to buy water. Then of course bring it home on weekends and switch out water bottles. I think it is also going to be a little bit challenging this weekend because I am going home. At home is where I got started on drinking from a plastic water bottle.
3. I felt very accomplished this week. I felt them as I was thinking about what I was going to write and realized that I was able to accomplish my goals for the week. I hope my goal continues to go well and that I am able to stick to it so I can continue to fell good about doing my part.
4. This week I learned that my goal might be a little easier than I expected it to be. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it a little more challenging I am open to suggestions.I hope to get my mom to switch to reusable water bottles over the weekend.
5. Since I am going home this weekend my goal is to get my mom to switch to reusable water bottles instead of plastic water bottles. This is going to be hard because she likes the convenience of it and likes that she can just add her crystal light mix and take it to go. I hope that I can find her a reusable water bottle that is the same size that she can fill up with water and her crystal light. I hope over the weekend I am able to change my mom over to reusable water bottles and to think of a way to make my SMART goal a little more challenging.

Good luck talking with your mom. I'm sure it will help that you will be setting an example and helping her think through potential pitfalls. Finding her a water bottle at the right size will be a special gesture!
ReplyDeleteYou could also just mark the volume of water on any size clear water bottle. Pour the contents of a plastic bottle of water into any reusable water bottle. Then mark a line to indicate the appropriate amount of water. Your mom can simply fill it to that point and add her drink mix.
ReplyDeleteGood idea. I will try that.
ReplyDeleteGood job on keeping it up. I noticed im haing a hard time with buying drinks and not just getting a water bottle.
ReplyDeleteI hope you were able to convince your Mom to change to reusable water bottles. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteYeah i've had the same problem in trying to do this in the future, by forgetting my bottle at home all the time. It's nice you can keep one in your school locker.
