I’m a goal orientated person and have been since the very beginning of my health and fitness journey. Jacqui Louder my sports psychologist introduced me to the S.M.A.R.T. Model and I haven’t looked back since that day. This time around though is going to be a little bit different to what I’ve done in the past. So what I’ve decided to do is post my monthly goal and result for everyone to see and follow right here on my home page right sidebar. You know what that means then don’t you. That means, that if I don’t update as required to do so that you have my permission to question me and make me accountable for my untimely actions. Call me crazy but I’m up for a new challenge . Like I always say “nothing ventured nothing gained”. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying so I’m just going to go for it!
So here’s what I’ve actually committed to doing. I’m currently at 180mm, I want to achieve 80mm and to do that slowly and healthily I’m aiming for a 2mm drop per week. That’s going to take me 13.5 months in total to do which will take me all the way through to 26th November of 2010. How’s that for a long term health and fitness goal. LOL!! To monitor my progress to make sure that what I’m doing is actually effective I’ll be using my scales daily to measure my weight & bodyfat then my calipers weekly to measure my skinfolds. All that information gets recorded and each month I’ll post my result on the right sidebar so you can see how I actually went. I’m taking things on a month by month basis so it’s slow and steady as it goes mentality.
Of course I’ve set some guidelines to follow that work for me and for my schedule but I’ll talk about that more in next weeks post. Until then….
