1. Reflection on the 3rd week
   

Throughout my 3rd week in my personal impact project, I realized how much dedication is needed to endure the positive action. (haha) I have still been going to Trader Joes and PCC and buying all locally produced food. Throughout this week two day out of the week, I went to the store to buy food. Other than that I worked out all of my recipes for the week so I wouldn't have to transport as much. Doing so would decrease my carbon footprint.

If the project ended today I truly think that I would try to keep up with my routine but overtime being with teenagers and going out all the time, I feel that it would slowly drift away. A way that I could keep it is to not eat locally 24/7 but to actually just do it occasionally throughout the week. This would give me some independence but then also still help decrease my carbon footprint. My main motivations to continue are that eating so healthy, I can see big changes in my body, working out with the right dieting is so important. Now going on the 3rd week, I have been keeping up on this process regularly! I intend to keep it up!

Reading this article I found that when developing a new habit it can take around 60s days of strict dedication. If you quite it won't work. To help you through this process you can get help from your peers or family. This article has been similar to my personal experience. I am still adapting to my new found habit. This article makes me want to counter this habit because once I get past this hard point, It will be effortless to eat on locally produced foods!!
