Want to get into a healthy routine

Hello All,
I turned 40 last year, and have been faced with one stressful situation after other at work and family. I have been in shape on and off in the last 15 years, but more fat than I should be. Being a gym member, I never really paid attention to my diet. But I found out that as you get older, the pounds just don't want to move. Now I have a BMI of 33, and that needs to change. I want to re-motivate myself to exercise at least 5 days of the week. And also watch those calories. I welcome all friends in the same path, specially in the 35-50 age range and struggling with diet and routine.

    So far logging food everyday. I dont like the MFP feature where it adds the exercise calories to your daily requirements, because I want it to be a variable to contribute towards fat loss. So I have decided that I will not be logging exercise calories..set it to 1 or 2 calories.

    Some stress has returned, but so far doing okay with logging and exercise. One step at a time...

    Had to step off wagon for the weekend as I was out of town and had to eat what was provided. Then came down with a nasty cold and lost another 1.5 days. Feeling a lot better today albeit with a runny nose. Maybe I can make up with a couple days of extra workouts. I also need to get back into the cooking food rhythm.
