I did not expect such long and helpful replies from here. I have been making small changes in lifestyle (for one: packing a spinach salad, lemon juice, and a little Romano for lunch instead of picking something up nearby) and am ready for that next step. I will definitely look at some of the things y'all mentioned (Reddit, the food app, different P90's, and the food board).
I tend to not have much lunch time, so I will try to leave the kids in before or after care to find gym time. I'm nervous about being completely lost in the gym.
FOLLOW-UP:
How can I learn about basic gym exercises, correct technique, and proper combination of exercises before going so I don't look like a 30-year-old who has never been in a gym?
Thanks already for the help and encouragement!![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

Get a workout plan in mind and then google the exercises, most have a form break down. Bodybuilding . com is good for researching exercises

Back when I smoked, cigarettes and coffee kept me thin.

I am in the gym every weekday morning by 430 sure at first its hard but once you are in the habit no problem. Dont restrict eating too much if you working out but I mean really pushing it. I eat poptarts and protien shakes along with rice, meat and vegetables all by the first couple hours of day. You can have the carbs but its about timing.
I have juice and poptarts on way to gym then big protein shake with skim milk after. I eat my lunch meal (rice,meat, vegetables, wraps etc)....carbs at the time most people eat breakfast. Then I taper off carbs the rest of day, small amount around noon. I pretty much eat no carbs after lunch time. Works for me but that is if you truly workout hard not treadmill for 20 minutes and curls.
What also helps is meal prepping. Every Sunday aftrrnoon I cook enough for the week. Stops you from eating fast foods or crap. Example would be I cook 2 dozen eggs whatever way you like. I may cook 2 pounds of boneless chicken thighs in a pot with broccoli and a little soy sauce. That can be eaten on rice or wraps or plain at night. At the same time I may have 2 pounds of deer grindmeat meatloaf in oven. I even make 5 protein shakes for week and have made already in fridge

There are usually a lot of helpful people in the gym. Don't be nervous about it. Everyone in that gym started somewhere.
