New Beginning ....SMART syle
...............so today marks the last day of this lifestyle. Cleaning out the cupboards, food shopping and tidying round the treadmill all to begin it tomorrow.
I read a good book on holiday in Spain which kinda hit home. It said there is no fad diet, there is no quick fix. The only way to get healthy, lose weight and get fit is hard hard work. In the book she mentions setting SMART goals. SMART goals remind me of my nursing training and they were drummed into us then. Make any goal to be Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely. By setting goals within this SMART ideals, then they are do able.

My initial goals are set over a 4 week time scale. Then at the end of this first 4 weeks I will reassess and set another 4 weeks. For me I feel 4 weeks are doable so here are my first block of goals.
1. Lose a stone. I am returning to slimming world yet again. I feel, for me, the guidance this gives me especially in the first month is needed to focus. I am going to the Thursday night class for the next 2 months I am off all but 1 Thursday. This give me regular class and time of weekly weigh in. Though as I am starting on Monday I will always also weigh on a Monday at home.
2. Weeks 1-4 of C25k. I have gotten to week 6 of this before so know I can run for 25 minutes with no stopping. But its been a while and I need to begin again. Going to do 3 runs a week and follow the program. You could do it every second day but I feel 3 a week is good enough.
3. Aim a class a week. The other 2 are set as I AM doing them. Sticking to Healthy eating and embarking on C25k is very good but if I can start to add in one class a week at my local leisure centre at some point I will be delighted. I enjoy the dance style of Zumba or Aerobics. I also enjoy Pilates so any of that 3 would be good. This goal is more to get into the habit of fitness.

Setting a wee goal decisions
Been a long long time since i typed a post on here. Far too long. I have gotten lazy with the typing and have it set up now that it often simply posts my Instagram instead.
I am trying to decide if you post on here to monitor my goal or get more down with it and do a Vblog...... oh decisions
