I just paid for a personal trainer for 10 sessions and now I am feeling really afraid of following through. I meet with them on the first of May at the gym I go to. I just get really bad anxiety in close encounters with people. I am very self-conscience. I can't even function normally when I get like that. But, I need this. I need to improve myself. For mental and physical health reasons. I just need to remember I am there to learn and there are no expectations. Ughh.....

Congratulations on signing up. Did you feel comfortable with the personal trainer when you met? I think it is wonderful that you are doing this for your mental and physical health. Reach out here for support as you go. We are here for you.

You are stronger than you think. Just show up for each session & the rest will fall into place (half the battle for many of us is just showing up). Also, focus on your why?-- because you are commited to improving your well-being. I'm rooting for you.

Good, thank you!I have been going to the personal trainer sessions and working out on my own. Altogether I am working out 5 days a week. Instead of sleeping on my lunch breaks I go to the gym. I feel so much better. Sometimes, I miss the naps. I am really good at naps.. But, I am trying to make a life style change and so far it is working!
