i have to finish what i've started part 2

You're doing a great job sticking to your exercise routine. And I can't believe you haven't checked your scale! That's so cool! I know what you mean about your mom. Even though I've lost 16 lbs, she still gets on my case.
 
I think that some moms are a little evil! haha. My mom used to make fun of me all the time when I was little. Then when I was older and gained a bunch of weight I sky rocketed to 320! Then when she saw me later at 270 she didn't even want to admit I'd lost any weight at all! SO!!! I want to look as trim as I possibly can! I am going to work out M-F until she gets here!! haha. How many inches do you think I can lose from now until Halloween? That's the thing I hate most about dieting! You have no idea how much you need to do in order to get the results you want by the deadline you have set!!!
 
Oh, did I mention how my mom has recently gained a lot of weight??? I am a little evil but more than anything I want to be smaller than her for once!! This is my chance! I feel bad but I think it serves her right. She weighs 185 now so that's why my goal is 180. I'm a little bit evil.

When I use the www.sparkpeople.com it tells me what I have to do to lose weight by a certain date. For instance, with the calories I'm intaking and the exercise I'm doing, I'll be down to 200 lbs by Dec 10th. Which is a mini goal, cuz we do a lot of family functions around the holidays. And so far my weight is matching the progress line.
 
Okay... I just got back from a 3 mile walk! My mother in law and I took Banjo and decided to walk around our neighborhood. We don't have sidewalks so it was a little tricky. She's being a huge support to me and has been helping me all week with exercising! I'm lucky to have her around. I feel really good about working out again today. Glad I did it!
 
Okay... my feet are dead. I don't have good walking shoes and was wondering if anyone could recommend any good shoes.
 
My husband just called... we are going to go out with a guy from his work and his wife on Saturday. I'm really nervous because I have social anxiety big time!! I'm already getting nervous... not a good sign.
 
Dear Hf2006

I am sure it will be fine when you go out, don't worry too much about it:) (of course thats easy for me to say) Just relaxe and most importantly breath:)
About the shoe thing, I don't think I can help, I just use some tennisshoes, nothing fancy.
Have a nice weekend
 
hf2006, you're a lovely person and if they can't see it, it's their loss. You'll be just fine knowing that we're all here rooting for you and waiting to see how it went! LOL And, yeah, I can't be much help on the shoes either, I just wear plain tennies.
 
Thanks Mahatt and Manaloa! I'm sure it will be alright I'm just nervous. Too bad about the shoes I guess int's internet research time for me!

30 min of bike and 1 hr of weight training! My body is burning today!
 
You just sit back and relax at the dinner. No worries. have a GREAT Day and good job on the exercise today. Don't forget your WATER:p
 
Thanks Jelly belly! I will try to have a great time tomorrow night.

Ok... just got back from a 2 mile walk with my mother inlaw... it got too dark to stay out. I feel really good about all my exercise today.

Does anyone think it's possible to lose 5 inches off of your hips and waist in a little over two months? I wish dieting came with an instruction manual!!
 
Hey, I was just typing out a big log entry in my diary when you were posting. God I wish I had a Mother in Law that would come over and motivate me! I hear they help you clean your house and stuff too is that true? Paul's Mom died when he was 16 so I will never know what that is like.

Good for you for doing so much exercising. You can get medication for social anxiety. I am surprised that you have it. You seem so outgoing. They're just peeps. No worries! Have a great Saturday.
 
Thanks Pineola... and no my mother in-law does not help me clean my house...lol I am a neat FREAK!! I sometimes help her with her house though! hahah. She still has two young kids at home so stuff gets a little crazy over there! :)
 
Good luck today! I love going out, unfortunately my husband doesnt :(
My family loves New Balance Tennies, they are affordable, light weight, and oohhhh so comfortable!

Keep up the amazing work out routine!
 
Thanks heidilw!

I used to really like going out. I was a social butterfly and stayed out all the time! It wasn't until I gained all this weight that I started to feel social anxiety. It started out with not being able to talk to people. I would get nervous and automatically think they were thinking about how fat I was. I didnt want to go anywhere becuase if anyone looked at me I'd think they were making fun of me. I have a really really hard time eating if front of people because I feel like they're thinking wow she doesn't need to be eating all of that! I can't order diet sodas in public because I think that the waiter/waitress is thinking yeah you really need that diet soda. I can't work out in a gym because I think people are making fun of me. I don't like to ride a bike or roller blade in public because it fells like people who pass by are making fun of me. I have trouble eating at my in-laws because I don't like to serve myself... I feel like they're thinking holly doesn't really need to be taking that much food! When I meet new people I tend to sweat and freak out! Sometimes I have an anxiety attack. That's what happened when I met Danny's parents. It's usually when the people are really important that I get really nervous.

So yeah, today isn't just going out and having dinner. Today is Danny reaching out to someone and trying to make some friends for us. I don't have any friends here in Louisiana and he knows that I am lonely. He's always said that we need married friends so this is first attempt. I'm glad that we're not going to their house because that would completely kill me... hahaha. I just have to stay calm and think about happy things. Breath deeply and calm myself down. I know I will be ok but it takes a lot of work to get me there. Let's just hope I don't have a what to wear breakdown before then.

Wow... I sound crazy.. hahaha. The thing is as I've lost weight my social anxiety has eased a bit... not a lot but I know it will go away when I feel comfortable in my own skin again.
 
You can do it! If you feel like you are going to freak out just take some deep breaths... What restruant are you going to?! Hopefully some place good. And this might be a good night to cheat...hehe... but then start to work out tomorrow!

I havent joined the Ymca here because it is geared towards Weight Lifting and it is full of body builders and cheerleaders with their skanky work out clothes, so I stay away!
