I think it is awesome that you have been such an avid exerciser all these years. I am at the opposite end of that spectrum. Work 40 hours a week at a desk job and until recently (April) did no type of formal exercising. My wake up call came when I realized that if I am going to keep up with my 4 year old, I will have to get off my butt and start doing some exercising. I also want to be a better role model for my daughter both in exercise and meal planning.

I will have to say, this is the hardest thing I have ever done. I am not good at sticking with things and it becomes a real challenge to stay motivated. I have a couple of ladies that I meet at the gym when our schedules allow, but mostly, it is up to me to motivate myself to get there. Some days are easier than others.

Hopefully, joining a group will give me some extra support to help keep me motivated. After all, winter will be here in no time and I don't want to gain any more pounds over the holidays.
