My "SMART" Goals

-
Look out. I'm so "smart".


alt text


Well, A is really meant to be Achievable, and R is meant to be Realistic, but you get the picture.

The task: Setting my goals
  • Plan in 12 month, 6 month, 3 month and even 1 month blocks.
  • Your goals should be S.M.A.R.T.
  • Finally tie your goals in with a reward. E.G a holiday or shopping spree. Something to add some spice to your motivation!

The result:

1 Month Goals – Oct 2011
  • Lose 3.7kgs – Weigh 87.3kgs.
  • Strengthen my back by working on my core muscles and stretching my legs in order to meet my 3 month goal.
How I Will Get There
  • Diarise each 12WBT activity/process I need to complete each day, as I find out I need to do them.
  • Make these activities and processes my commitment. Each day after work, exercise (burn 500cals), and then perform any other 12WBT commitments. Work and chores can wait until after these commitments.
  • Eat no more than 1200 calories each day – follow Michelle’s diet to a tee.
  • Order groceries online every Thursday, so I do not have an option of buying anything other than the shopping list given to me.
  • At the start of each week – map out where I will exercise each day – being gym, at home, etc and what I will be doing.
  • Be active on the forums for support – especially when the excuses start coming in.
  • Perform Mish’s core and stretch routine each week, as well as attending 1 pilates/yoga/body balance class a week.
  • No more than 1 glass of wine per week. Binging on alcohol is the reason I have put on all of this weight.
  • Attend the fortnightly bootcamp sessions at New Farm (and any social activities afterwards).

3 Month Goals – Dec 2011
  • Lose 10kgs – Weigh 81kgs. Reward: Buy a size 16 dress to wear out.
  • I will be 10 kgs lighter for the wedding I am in the bridal party for in January 2012. I will look hot!
  • I will be able to perform high intensity exercise like boot camp and body combat and attack classes without my back hurting.
How I Will Get There
  • Follow the 12WBT program to a tee.
  • Complete any of the optional activites/challenges 12WBT offers.
  • Attend the group sessions from facebook ie. The new farm bootcamp and the 4,8 and 12 wk milestone challenges.
  • Continue with all of the “how I will get there” steps from my 1 month goal write up.

6 Month Goals – March 2012
  • Lose 20kgs – Weigh 71kgs. Reward: Buy a size 14 dress to wear out.
How I Will Get There
  • Join up for 12WBT round 1 2012.

12 Month Goals – Sept 2012
  • Have lost 25kgs – be below 25 BMI. Weigh 66kgs. Reward: Buy a size 12 dress to wear out.
  • I will be at my goal weight of 66kgs for my sister’s wedding in October 2012. I will make a super hot maid of honour!!
How I Will Get There
  • blank WHOOPS! I intend on working it out when I get to the end of the 12wbt. I just know what I want to weigh as my starting point.

Week 4 Mini Milestone - Mt Coot-tha Kokoda Track

Image
Yesterday marked the last day of week four of the 12wbt. And per Michelle's instructions, we were to take on a mini-milestone challenge. The Queensland 12wbt crew had quite alot of events planned around Brissy for me to choose from, or I could choose to just stick with Mish's planned programs per the site. I thought I better go to an organised event so I pushed myself to the extreme. I opted for the Mt Coot-tha Kokoda Track walk/jog. I had absolutely no idea what I was in for, apart from the fact that Mt Cootha is (stating the obvious).... A MOUNTAIN!! And it was named after the official Kokoda Trail, so that says something. I started the morning following my gps there, getting nice and lost on the way, only to turn up right at 7am - when everyone was getting the run down from the trainers and jogging to begin the warm up. I was slightly embarrassed to turn up late, but then again, at least I didn't give up when I got lost and just drive home and go back to bed. The o

Disclaimer: I apologise in advance for the lack of care in wording the below post. It's not great grammar or writing that really flows at all. I was just feeling strongly and had to get my thoughts down as quickly as they came to me. Well I feel like I have certainly left myself behind of the pack this round. This is my 2nd round, and now that wk 6 is open I feel sick to the stomach. I don't actually feel like I've really started this round. I don't know what has happened. The first two weeks I was having my last two wks at my job after resigning - so life was mayhem burning the midnight oil to tie up all of my loose ends. I had a wk off to just catch up on my personal life that had been neglected due to a job that consumed my life. Then wks 4 & 5 of the program have been the first two weeks in a new job. And all these sound like big time excuses, but my life has been so unsettled for all of this time. I've been so busy running through to-do lists -

And I'm Back in the Game

So today's weigh in didn't go too well. I didn't lose anything! On an upside I didn't gain anything either. So I'm still at a 7.4kg loss. Which is still pretty impressive. But to go from losing on average 1kg a week to nothing. Something was wrong. So I followed Mish's advice and did my "audit" of the week gone. I can pin point my non-loss quite easily. It is a combination of the following: I exercised once since the last weigh in - bootcamp. That is it. Not good! Friday night - a shitload of alcohol was drunk and a pizza for dinner - blew my calories way out. The only reason I got away with drinking last time is because I didnt eat dinner. So it is obvious now what works and what doesnt work. Last night - I binged on crap and blew my calories way out. It was pretty damn obvious when I put it down like that. I did some bad things this week. I let my busy-ness at work take me off focus from my goals. Anyway, I know I shouldn't of done those th
