Baseball Mom

Hi everyone. My kids are/have been my whole life and I let myself go. I am overweight. I have some health issues going on, I would love to walk/run a 5k in October for Breast Cancer, and my daughter is getting married in February and I would like to look nice and feel good at her wedding. I just got my diet plan now onto exercise. I have never tried running before. I don't even exercise. I NEED TO and today is the day I am going to change my life. Day 1. I have lots of questions for those who have been on this journey for a while (getting fit - Losing weight - just being healthier etc..) I am just starting. Is it better to run in the morning before work or evening after work? And also before meals or after meals? I have been discouraged so many times I don't want to fail this time and would like to hear any advice and motivating stories to keep motivated and on track.

Good luck to you HethersHealth. I am starting today. I also want to run/brisk walk a race in October for Breast Cancer. I am obsessed also so I need to get healthy.
