Beginner with unique schedule/ lifestyle
Hello all! I've been overweight for a while now and am deciding to try to better myself. I've been very active in the past but I'm having a hard time finding time to work on myself. If I'm in the wrong subreddit please direct me to the right place :) I'm just an average guy trying to better themselves. After looking at my post, number 4 is the most important I feel. If you have any advice there, please send them my way! If I may, here age my struggles I have on a daily basis:
-
My shift at work is 2 am to 1030 pm. Odd hours. No late nights. The wife gets home from work and I'm off to bed. I'm still adjusting to my schedule, as it's new. I need a nap once I get home (as of right now). I really hope I can adjust and cut out that time.
-
4 kids, 2 of my own and 2 step. They get out of school at 130 through 3 pm (k through 10th grade) , so I'm dadding at that point. Small window of time for myself. I may be able to work something out and find more time for myself. Love every single one of them to death. Step children included. Anything that might pique the kindergarteners interests will be especially helpful here. He needs a lot of attention.
-
Don't have expendable income to get a gym membership. See number 2 above. Needs to be at home/ free or inexpensive as possible.

Through my own faults and taking a close look at myself, , I have realized that I need help with consistency and not falling out of my schedule. In other words, I need help developing my own habits. This, I feel, is the most important thing I need to learn. If I take on a new challenge, I need to keep it up. Any tips here I think will be the most helpful.

I am a smoker and I do drink. I know I need to quit. But unless you've been addicted to something before, it's a mental issue that can only be challenged once someone decides to take that step. I have a hard time getting rid of my stress from work and children without these vices. I'm almost there, especially with smoking. It's my vice from life and work. For me to get over this hump, i feel like I'll need to see results before i make these sacrifices. I hope it makes sense?
I know it'll be hard work and I'm not expecting any single reply to solve all of my issues. I'm hoping through the collective input here I can piece together something that works for me!
I feel like the most important thing for me will be to maintain consistency once I get a plan. I will happily indulge anyone who has any input there!
