Weight Loss - Month Two

August - why are you here so soon?! It also means I'm on month two of my diet...

Today I'm posting about my second month of living healthy and my weight loss progress. As said before, not everyone has to be wanting to lose weight to live healthily, it may be that you just decide you want to - however for me I want to lose weight, as I'm not, personally feeling healthy at the weight I started at...

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LOST?
So far I have now lost a total of 1 stone 2lbs

WHAT HAS HELPED YOU?
Running and exercise, I've already noticed improvements (despite my calf injury). I've also been chatting to my dad, he's run several marathons, in regards to running style, what's correct and comfortable for me.

WHAT DID YOU CHANGE?
This month was a little different, I've had a few higher calorie dinners (about 700 kcals +) which means I took the hit the rest of the day, which I can't say was easy. I've been experimenting more with foods and definitely finding my definite go to foods when I'm hungry. I also had my first real cheat day... I ate chocolate!

ARE YOU HAPPY?
I'm happy, I wouldn't say out of this world happy - but I'm happy I've reached a stone. I'm unhappy that I have picked up an injury. But I am looking forward to the challenges of the next month.

WHAT'S BEEN HARDEST?
I've gotten over having the different meals problem, I'm enjoying the meals I'm cooking for me and I definitely have a few favourites! The hardest thing has been my exercise, my calf has been really temperamental which has meant I can't push my distances as much and I'm really struggling with seeing any changes in my body in the mirror - other people are noticing them but not me. I'm struggling with this purely because I look as though I have had no changes to me.

HOW WAS YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE MONTH?
Week One - 3lbs
Week Two - Stayed the Same
Week Three - 2lbs
Week Four - 2lbs

Week four I had my female issues and I normally always gain normally when not on a diet, so I'm really happy with a 2lb loss and I managed to stay the same over my birthday which was week two. This month I'm really excited for my new sports bra to turn up and do some running in - I can actually get some decent boobie support!!!!!
