Hello! I'm new and I will probably post an into after this- I was going to do my lifestyle change on my own but I realized there are a lot of things that I don't know and who doesn't benefit from extra support anyway? 
A little over a week ago I started drinking water, I try to drink 8-10 glasses a day and at first it was hard but now I actually get thirsty for it. A few days after that I decided to start eating better too and that is easier now too it feels like after drinking water my sense of taste is different and healthier food has a lot more flavor. I was encouraged by this and decided to really make this a complete change and ordered a beginner fitness dvd. I started it last night and it was fun but after 3/4 of it (only like 20 minutes I think) I started feeling really nauseated and weak in the knees and I had to turn it off I was so disappointed in myself but I keep saying one step at a time and if I hurt myself that would be even longer time of not doing anything.
I really wanted to be able to do exercising in the mornings between 9 and 10:30 but I want to do it safely. When I started last night it was 3-4 hours after I ate dinner which was omelet with 1 egg and 2 egg whites, spinach and veggies. The rest of the day I eat oatmeal with blueberries or cranraisins and walnuts, salads with tomato and shrimp or tuna or chicken, yogurt, apples. If I really want a piece of toast I'll throw that in or a cup of coffee with creamer, I'm not denying atm I just like eating these things they are yummy. I always liked veggies but this is a totally different level for me, I'm usually a sugar and cereal junkie but now I am getting through whole day on 7 hours of sleep and not feeling like I need a nap.
Anyway I'm sorry this is like a book, but what am I doing wrong? Do I need to eat a certain time before/after I exercise or eat more in general if I am going to add exercising in? Would an energy bar or something like that work, I don't want to give up my oatmeal but that would be something I could eat while getting my kid to school and then come home and be able to workout.
