Alison, I loved reading your post. I have been wondering what a personal training session would be like, and I too am a member of our YMCA, where they offer such sessions. I did not know that you could do one session, work out on your own for three weeks or a month, and then have another session; the people I know who have "personal trainers" seem to use them every time they go, as sort of a workout buddy (which is frightening to me -- I don't want someone watching me every second!) Your experience might help me get up the courage to call my own Y and check into it. Thank you!!
P.S. I also really appreciated your writing about the changes in your personality since you stopped exercising. Isn't it amazing what it does for us when we don't even realize it? I need to remember that.
