I do better by helping you!

Yes, If I am helping someone else, I help myself! It seems I do not feel as good doing for myself, but I will go to great trouble to help someone else. Go figure... Maybe we could help each other? I am 63 and a  Grandmother of 5. I love to garden, I have my Master Gardeners degree. I have wonderful partner, he made me a garden shed and a Beauty Shop for family and friends. I work just one day a week in a regular salon. I have two rescue dogs, Zoe and Zak. Last year I lost 15 pounds, and had a personal trainer. I wonder what it was I did not like about being fit and trim!!! I need to lose 15 to 20 pounds. So big deal, but to me it is a big deal. I have no idea how to help myself other than, what we all know  to do. By the way I am very funny!!!!

What exactly does a personal trainer do for you?  I"ve been thinking of doing that myself.  Right now I'm at the point that going to a gym terrifies me...esp. at my weight!
