I am finally getting back into the swing of things after a very long winter here in Illinois. I have realized that my past attempts at getting fit failed because I just said I want to lose weight without a real plan. I am trying to use the SMART method this time around to make sure I actually stick to it.

For those who are new to this concept, it stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. My specific goal is to lose fifteen pounds by July fourth. I am going to measure this by weighing myself every Sunday morning and tracking my meals.

Do any of you have tips on making sure these goals are actually achievable? I do not want to set myself up for disappointment again. I am currently looking for a good template to write these down so I can see them every day on my fridge.
