Oh man, the idea of chain mail with literally nothing underneath is really funny. "DIE HEATHEN CURS...ow, hold on, my boob is pinching. *adjusts mail* NOW DIE!!!"

(Having actually WORN a chainmail bikini in her life... but not in combat)
Look at it like this: Your entry is between you and Sage. You're anonymous to everyone else, and you won't have to reveal yourself at any point. Even if your entry is barely legible English, you're going to get three entries of good advice for making it legible English. Based on your posts, though, I'm preeeetty confident you write good and you're gonna get people wanting to beta for you.
I'd say DO COMPARE to the greats. Not comparing as in "oh, he's so great, I'm so poor" but comparing as in trying to find what the differences are between their works and yours.Girl, DO NOT compare yourself to Neil Gaiman. That way lies madness.
You're the bravest person I know.
I've also worn a corset with a chemise and practiced sword-fighting with rapiers. Now, the tip was dulled for practice fighting, but when a rapier-tip brushes the nipple at high speed, you still spin around and fall to the ground, clutching your bosom in pain. At least, that's what I did.

I just found out the next town over is supposed to be getting an Ikea. I don't need any more furniture. Why am I excited?
Because IKEA is a magical, magical place. Speaking of which....I really need to take a trip to IKEA
I was unaware that they sold food other than meatballs.
Or that "chicken meatball" in Swedish is "kycklingköttbullar".
I'm surprised you don't have to mix the ingredients and form the meatballs yourself.
I seem to recall seeing that the removal of legumes in the Whole 30 diet is because it was originally designed to diagnose food allergies and legumes are a common allergen. If you aren't allergic, you can (theoretically) modify the diet to retain some legumes and still have beneficial effects.
Have you thought about getting someone at the gym just to show you how some of the equipment works? Depending on the place, they are all for educating their members. Or bring along a savvy friend who can show you the ropes and spot you. Or help you out when the, um, equipment breaks and falls on you...not that Winks has ever had that happen to her, of course. Nope. *smell of burning pants fill the cantina*
You could also check out some fitness magazines for ideas - Shape and Women's Fitness come to mind.
I'm a little nervous because I'm newer to AW, and the only eyes that have seen my manuscript are classmates, friends, and family. So that evil little voice in my head keeps saying "You shouldn't have submitted! Your writing sucks! They're going to tell you you're terrible and that you should give up now!"
Thanks, subconscious. You're a real gem.

Well, it's a magical place wherein Winks got terribly lost and couldn't find her way out for a good hour.
