Lunch: Subway/Sandwich from home/Tim Horton's sandwhich
Dinner: Steak/Chicken/Pork Potatoes/Rice/Perogies Corn/California Veggies
That seems like way too many carbs.
I also find I make excuses. How do I break that habbit? I used to not have running shoes. I bought some. I used to not have workout clothes. I bought some. Now I don't have a gym membership. Do I need to buy one? Can I get up every morning before work and jog? How do I break the lazy streaks?
I've heard that actually getting out there is half the battle.

If your goal is just to lose 20 pounds, the changes you need to make are not huge.
Don't eat the bagel in the morning (that is about 800 calories with the cream cheese, maybe more). Eat some eggs instead. Instead of the sandwhich for lunch try a wrap instead. Cut down on the amount of carbs with dinner. Make sure you are getting enough protein. If possible have five very small meals instead of 3 large ones.
Add in an exercise regime of 1 hour for 4 times per week and the fat will melt off.
It's pretty simple if caloreis in is more than calories out you will gain fat. Each pound of fat has 3500 calories in it. 20 pounds = 70,000 calories. An hour of solid exercise is probably about 800 calories.
