Building a 'dam' to hold concrete

Ok, I'm now ready to level the floor in my bathroom so that I can put hardwood flooring over it. I plan to put 1/2 inch thick x 1 inch high wood strips around the perimeter of the room and then pour in self-leveling quikrete mix about 1/8 of an inch thick, just enough to make the floor nice and smooth (it's pretty chewed up now). Does this sound like the right way to do it?

Secondly, I need to make another 'dam' in a circular shape around the toilet flange that comes out of the floor. How should I do this? Obviously I can't have any concrete settling right against or into the flange, and the floor surrounding the flange isn't very flat.

Thanks to all. I'll be sure to post pictures of the bathroom when I'm done.
