Hello...Again...for the third time

Well, I was going to Yoga on Tuesday mornings, but with my work schedule there is no guarantee I can make it to the classes. I can have a shift one day from 2:30 in the afternoon to 11:00 at night, then go back at 8:00 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon. With that kind of schedule, I kind of gave up on doing classes. There were some classes that require registration, that I thought sounded fun but just would not work because of my scheduling. I know, I need to work on getting up the same time every day, and going to bed the same time every night. Fit my exercise in at some point during the day. Luckily, the Y is only a mile from where I work, so I can go there before or after work. I just need to remember to grab work out clothes and things before leaving.

Thank you for the ideas. Now to put them into practice and actually follow through. Too late today to do it, since I am heading to work soon, but I will do it tomorrow.

Thank you everybody for the comments. I am currently stuck living at home with my parents. My entire income (small as it is) goes into putting gas in my car and student loans. I am primarily looking into losing weight to go into some form of law enforcement or military. Currently looking for better paying job, or more jobs, that will allow me to move out on my own.

When I was going to school, I was eating healthier, eating less, and feeling better about myself. I was exercising a lot more as well. Since I had to go back to my parents house to get on my feet, I want to work with my family to change the situation. For a while, I was in charge of planning meals and buying groceries. I am also expected to do the cooking. When I get healthier foods, I get nothing but complaints or questions about why I don't get some simple to make foods like ramen. Example: I buy yogurt because I like it for a snack, I get complaints about how they don't want their money spent on yogurt even though it is my job to keep everybody fed. Oatmeal? Only if I am going to make cookies with it. This is where my frustration lies.

I will track what I eat, I just hate seeing it though because I always get somebody who complains about what I get and then they go and fill the shelves with unhealthy snacks, which leaves me no room for the food I like and want to eat to get healthy. They are of the mindset that the cheap, instant food, is satisfying enough. I don't share that experience. They tell me I just need to cut back. That doesn't work though when you have a burrito and still feel sharp, stabbing, hunger pains and half an hour later you are shaky from lack of something.

This is what I will do then, I will start planning my meals (separately from everyone else if need be), for a week in advance. I will then buy what I need for those meals, and have a couple alternative meals ready for when I either don't feel like making something or end up picking up an extra shift at work.

If you are able to go back far enough in my food journal, you can see the difference of when I was at school and when I was at home. School had massive amounts of salads and omelets with some toast, an occasional cheeseburger (maybe not so occasional, but tried for only one or two a week). Home is junk food mania.

The end result is that I am in a living situation that I am desperately trying to escape, so I can make my own choices without people in my physical vicinity bringing me down with their negative attitudes. They say they want me to lose the weight, and then only criticize the choices I make or talk about how unfeasible it is to eat certain ways.

It doesn't help that I get bored with different workouts either, even when I change it up. I used to love the treadmill, with the different exercise programs, but it is monotonous now. Same with the elliptical. I try going for a walk down the road, and get bored with the same scenery every day. No matter what path I take. I have taken them all around my house. Classes at the Y are fun, and I should go more, but I am almost always scheduled to work during the classes I enjoy. I also enjoy going to the tennis courts, but I need a partner and those are hard to come by around my house. I realize my biggest problem is my mindset, followed by the attitudes of the people around me. I am going to work on fixing my mindset and ignoring the people around me. I will find different activities that I can do to keep myself from getting bored with exercising. i will make myself succeed.

So, again I thank you all for your responses, and I will track my food so my friends can all help encourage me to make better choices the next time around.
