Looking for accountability partners!

Hi! I did a fitness challenge back in February of 2009 and successfully lost 30 pounds by that summer. An eye injury, a move out of state, a daughter off to college and a divorce later, all since then, I have successfully gained back all 30 pounds!

I know I can do this because I did it before. Sadly, now almost 45 years old with the metabolism of a 75 year old, and a body of whacked out hormonal imbalances as it goes through menopause, I am once again disappointed in myself and extremely eager to get this weight back off and FOR GOOD this time! Yes, I am aware that it needs to be a lifestyle change, and I am fine with that.

My weakness is I love food and I have a pretty significant sweet tooth. I really don't eat badly. Haven't had fast food in years and don't even like fast food. I only drink water and green tea (no coffee, no soda, no fancy juices) and I drink a Nutribullet fruit/veggie shake at least once a day in the morning. I cook for the most part, but occasionally eat out with friends and occasionally my job orders in lunch and I partake.

I used to be a beast in the gym. I miss my daily gym workouts, but I was waking up at 3:35AM to be at the gym by 4:30AM and I worked out till 6AM so I could be on a train to work by 7:30AM. I won't work out at night. After a full day of work, I need to cook dinner and have relaxing me time. I know myself and I am not motivated to work out at night. My work schedule has changed and I now have more flexibility to work out a bit later in the morning. For the winter, I don't like to go to the gym so I recently bought Shaun T's T25 to do at home, Monday through Friday. It's only 25 minutes long, 30 minutes with the cool down, and it's a very intense full body cardio and interval training workout. I love it because it doesn't require an hour or two in the gym. I had started the T25 and it was going great for two weeks, and then I hurt my back, badly. My chiropractor told me I can't exercise for a while. That while became 2 months and by then, I lost my mo-jo again.

My issue is this....WHY am I so unmotivated? I have the time and flexibility to do this, I want to do it, and I NEED to do it! I am vain enough that I am dreading spring and summer when the weather will allow less clothing, and I know exactly how fit and sexy I looked when I was in shape and fitting into all the great clothes I have. I need a kick in the pants! I need some accountability partners. If you would like to partner with me to help each other stay motivated and achieve our goals, please contact me and let's do this! I'm sick and tired of being out of shape and my body isn't that far off from being awesome again. All my muscle tone is still there from all the weight lifting I used to do. I just need to get my endurance back and build my core back and I'll be in business 100%.

Sorry for the lengthy post. Looking forward to hearing from others who can help!
