Back again, this time for real. Anyone around Madison WI?

Hi All, I'm a 46 year old mom of two girls, three dogs, four cats and wife of one cool hubby. I joined here a couple years ago and never really did much with it. Now I am back and 18 pounds heavier then when I first joined. Time to get real!!! I am starting a 24 day challenge later this week but have already started making changes. I gave up my frou-frou coffee one week ago today, yes I miss it but I feel a bit better with out it! I think its more of a mental thing and so far I have been able to substitute plain old hot tea and not feel too deprived.

I do not really enjoy the idea of exercising and I think putting on the work out clothes and shoes is the hardest part for me. Once I get that done then I am good. Unfortunately I have not made myself put on those clothes much since last November, darn holidays and cold weather. No more excuses! I spent 30 minutes at the gym today because that is how much time I could carve out of my day so I feel like I accomplished something.

Hoping to chat with some others for some encouragement and new ideas. Its good to be back here and feel accountable while making my way to a healthier lifestyle
