VellaMal Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hey, all. Vella here - I used to run about these parts a year or so back, but Life Happened and I fell straight into the abyss of working and just trying to keep afloat. But I'm back now. New account for a fresh start (and because I can't get into the old one anymore on account of doing an e-mail address cleanout/deletion), new plan, new goals, new pet. Today, it begins. 2 Quote My Character Current Challenge: Starting from the Start Link to comment
Wobbegong Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Welcome back, Vella! Let us know if there's anything we can do to help support you And don't forget to share pics of your pet! Is it the cat in your profile image? Quote Link to comment
VellaMal Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thanks! Yes, the cat in the profile pic is the lovely Delenn, who is my only housemate and my fluffiest friend. I'll share a few more pics. Mostly I'm here for the community and the support - I've got a couple friends who are into the fitness thing, but I feel bad relying only on them for support, especially since I'm here to get over an issue with anxiety - I managed to associate my martial arts classes with anxiety attacks, and it's been really hard to get the motivation to go back. Hopefully with a couple of Challenges, I can make some more positive associations, and I'll be able to get back into regular exercise more easily 2 Quote My Character Current Challenge: Starting from the Start Link to comment
Novaurora Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Welcome (back)! I've only been a member for a few days, but I wanted to saw hi because anxiety is a part of my fitness journey that I have to overcome as well! You are not alone!! Good luck with starting over (you have a super cute side kick for the journey), and I look forward to seeing your progress!!

VellaMal Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hey! Thanks! There are many things I wish to tell anxiety to do; go away is probably the politest summary of them I can manage. Feel free to message if you need a sympathetic ear! I look forward to seeing you around on the forums! 2 Quote My Character Current Challenge: Starting from the Start Link to comment
zeroh13 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi Vella, welcome back! I've tried telling my anxiety many variations of "go away", but it always says "nope, I like I right here just fine." Good luck with your journey, and I hope to see you around the challenges! 2 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment

Anxiety is a terrible listener, can confirm. And always overstays its welcome. I'll see you around the challenges, too Good luck with your journey as well! 2 Quote My Character Current Challenge: Starting from the Start Link to comment
