W5R2 done - psyking myself up for W5R3 :) Diet changes and changing body shape.

Managed W5R2 today - feel pretty chuffed with myself though it was hard work. The thought of managing 20mins on Friday is scary.

I was wondering if anyone out there has also noticed a change in their diet? I was never a big processed food eater but since starting the program I have gone off certain food I think. I have eaten 1 packet of crisps since the end of December and today I met a friend for lunch and we ended up at McDonalds. I really didn't enjoy my cheeseburger at all. I haven't made a conscious effort not to eat junk but it just doesn't seem as appealing.

Weight loss doesn't seem to be happening but I think my flabby mum-tum isn't as flabby. Hoping that it continues to tone up if that is what it is doing.

So far so good.

I was saying to someone else earlier that running does seem to flatten the stomach. It must be all that jiggling about. Also your digestion should improve too. If you keep off the junk food, clean up your act and try and eat as healthily as possible, and run every other day, then you're bound to see a change. I think the running does make you think about food more and planning your eats around your runs

I have noticed a drop in appetite since starting running - I thought I'd want to eat more not less.

I've met two different friend in the last week who haven't seen me since I started running and they both started with "OMG you look so well/have lost so much weight" . Haven't noticed it much myself - 6lbs gone (and am due to do 2nd lot of measurements soon) but obviously something is showing.

I wish it had put me off wine but unfortunately it hasn't!!! However my shape (and I wish I had taken measurements at the start) has changed so dramatically that colleagues that I see on a daily basis actually comment! I can also see the shape change and the waist all positive stuff, I've lost a dress size but jeans are tighter if anything!!! Oh and actual weight loss minimal!
