Well, I am back and raring to go... this is it! Phase 1 - 2nd time around. Are you in? If I need to snack it will be on natural yoghurt, cherry tomatoes and cucumber sticks. Drinks: water and herbal teas.
My first goal is simply to get off the weight I gained in Canada. My weigh-in today revealed that I am 8lbs heavier than when I went so that's the goal - a SMART target. I use SMART targets on school and for anyone who hasn't come across them they are:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant or Realistic
Time-bound
The theory is that a goal must be realisable within a short, specific time frame to be achievable. In other words, if you have 5 stone to lose then do it in small steps. If you are paying off a mortgage then £500 is a good goal, not £200,000 straight away. De-cluttering a room or an area of a room is a manageable target; a whole house in one go probably isn't. The goal should be good for you. So, some people might feel able to clean a whole house in one go; others might need to tackle one drawer or shelf. A SMART target means that we are more likely to achieve because we see success.
On my internet wandering I found the weight loss bar you can see at the side of the page. The great thing about this is that you don't have to display your weight if you don't want to. You can add BMI and waist measurements if you choose and there a lots of great designs to choose from.

Hey Sooze - how are you? Are you still with it and are you blogging yet? Good to hear from you xx
DeleteI am very much with it (the diet, that is! lol) Mrs T...just into my 4th week now and have lost 12lbs, I'm really pleased. This diet is so good, I love everything about it - not just the weight loss, but sleeping better, more energy, less achey joints. And no hunger pangs or feelings of 'I've had enough of this dieting lark now'. Yes I'm blogging about it - it's a private blog though, by invitation only. If you can somehow let me have your email address, I'll gladly add you. Does sue15cat have your addy? If so, perhaps she could pass it on to me, or she can give you mine. Good to have you back, and very well done on the 4lbs loss already!!
