About Me

I am a Junior at the University of Minnesota Duluth. I love love LOVE the crisp smell that Fall brings, but also need the vitamin D that summer brings. I thoroughly enjoy photography and watching movies. To anyone that likes the outdoors, I'm sure we will get along quite well-- I dig fresh air :) I have a cat named Kozmo, who is quite crazy, and If it were more convenient at this time in my life, i'd have a dog as well. As you might conclude, I am an animal junky.

Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 3: Weekly Update

1. My SMART goal was to drink 56 oz of tap water, 5 times/week. I completed my goal this week.

I've also been working out during the week, and I have been drinking a lot more water so that I won't get dehydrated. However, I am still struggling with drinking as much water during the weekends. I don't carry my Nalgene around with me, so I'm not sure how much I actually drink. 
3. I feel very proud of myself being able to achieve my goal. I've always liked water, but it's an extra incentive to have to drink 56 oz each day of the school week. I haven't felt thirsty of dehydrated this entire week.
4. I've learned that by simply setting goals for oneself, it changes your way of thinking. I didn't think that it'd be as easy to drink such amount of water.
5. I plan on keeping the same goal this week, I feel that I still had to work towards achieving it, but still was able to obtain it.

  1. Sounds like a very healthy lifestyle already. I agree that drinking water daily suddenly makes you feel more hydrated than before. I think it is good that you are going to do this same goal because drinking 56oz 5x/week sounds like a big challenge to maintain.

  2. Way to go at achieving your goal! Woot-woot! I hope that by achieving your goal this week you are encouraged and excited to achieve your goal for this next week. It's always fun 'dscovering' that you can do something if you just put your mind to it!

  3. Good job this week, reading this actually made me realize I'm thirsty and so I had to go get some water. That's good that you don't ever get the feeling of being dehydrated, make sure to drink enough on the weekends, that's probably when you need the most water (especially if you are drinking)!

  4. Great job achieving your goal! 56 oz seems like a lot of water! I think I would have to pee constantly! haha. Its also good that you're drinking extra water when you're working out, you don't wanna take the change of becoming dehydrated. What do you think would be some ways to help you increase your water intake over the weekends?

  5. It's great that you met your goal! I feel the same way about how easy changing your lifestyle can be. I found that it was a lot easier to eat more vegetables when I made myself conscious about it. I also have problems remembering on the weekends though!

  6. I am so proud of you that you have met your goal this week! Keep up the good job in the coming week, I know the weekends can be tough because on the weekends it easy to get of the routine we are used to during the week. Keep up the good work!

  7. Good job! It's great that you've met your goal this week! I feel like this goal for me would be a constant effort to drink water and make sure I'm taking in enough during the day to meet my goal. Way to be conscious about what you are doing!
