Every once in a while I'll throw in some rap/hip-hop just to mix it up a bit. I tend to have a lot of Alter Bridge, AC/DC, Sublime and Linkin Park on my MP3 player when I work out.

For my money hard rock and metal is the best to work out to, something with some thud to it. It takes exercise from something I hate to something I just don't enjoy. I always wear my iPod when walking/jogging/running/biking/etc. In fact I got a watertight containment and earphones for the pool (my favorite exercise). Unfortunately it became too much of a hassle to use both in and out of the pool. Music helps. For my money hard rock and metal is the best to work out to, something with some thud to it.

Mom loves to feed us... we love to eat. :) you'll find something to work for you. you are awesome. Lucky Bea! i hear ya. on health and being in the 30′s. as i am almost 3 years in now. ugh.

Best of luck, I totally feel your pain! It took me forever just to learn discipline, and it’s two parts, the eating right (yuck) and the exercise (yuck x2).

Once I'd been doing that week or so, I naturally wanted to do more because my body was responding so well to the stretching. Then I started adding simple exercises like crunches and pushups. Now I've added weighted exercises and squats. The best part of the whole process is that it feels completely natural since I'm gradually doing more and gradually WANTING to do more. It's a lot better than when I tried to loose weight and get in shape by jogging. It worked for a couple of weeks, but I hated it so I stopped. Anyway, hope that's some what helpful.

I was one who couldn't stand running. I then realized that it's a heck of a good way to get into shape. I'm slow, and I don't go far, but I get it done, and I feel good afterward.

Just a mile walk every night will help. Take a look at this book. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1594868549/?tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_rxmxu3idi_e It might help you make some substitions which would help. Also there are a lot of recipie books out there on lower fat or lower carb meal. Start substituting a few of these a week. The thing that make me fail always is setting a date and then totally switching my lifestyle. Take it slow. with the warmer weather the exersize part should come easier.
