Hi,
I'm already over-thinking this post, which is one of the reasons I don't plan on spending much time here in the forum.
I'm not on facebook or any other social media. I'm posting here today because - if it's okay - I'd like to find someone, a woman/mom, like me who is new to Nerd Fitness and might like to communicate by email for support as we work through the program? Is that allowed to ask here?
It would be nice to have someone, like a friend, to check in with and encourage each other. I know one-on-one coaching is available, but I would prefer to find someone from the forum who is also new and looking for someone to share wins and a sense of accountability with on the way to getting healthy and fit.
I'm a stay-home-mom. I'm highly sensitive & empathic (which is why I stay away from most online groups and social media. I get overwhelmed!). I love to read - mostly self-help and metaphysical books on topics like animal communication, angels, and past lives. I like trying out vintage fashion with clothes, hairstyles, and makeup techniques. I'm very quiet and don't have any friends outside of a few close family members and email pen-pals. I love to paint, write, and watch old TV shows like 'Bewitched'.
Anyway, I've just finished my first week and most of the first 5 quests from the Academy. I really wanted someone to talk to about it, to share all the little "wins" and quests with, and to ask, "How are you doing?...Which quest was your favorite?...What is your 'why'?".
I know from past experience that facebook and/or a forum - no matter how great or supportive the place is - just isn't for me. It's hard because that kind of support is great and I really wish I could handle that kind of setting, but I just can't.
I understand if this post doesn't fit what this forum is meant for and gets removed. I just thought I'd make the effort to reach out and see what happens. Hopefully I hear from another mom or woman who would appreciate this kind of communication and support.
