One man's quest to become more physically fit

About Me
Some more about me...
Currently, I am just trying to get some physical activity into my daily life. While I have worked out and lifted weights in the past, I haven't done *anything* physical for the last 5+ years. I work out of my house, so my commute to work is essentially walking down to my basement office. I also travel around the country from time to time, without much notice most of the time, and that entails eating out at restaurants. Aside from work, I occasionally go outside to watch my kids play, where I essentially sit in a chair, or I take them to their sports team practices, where I sit in a chair. I have a wife, 4 kids and 3 dogs... so life is hectic. Finding a workout program that fit into my schedule was never easy... I thought P90X would work for me, but I was finding it hard to devote 1hr+ each day to working out... and the program is WAY too advanced for me at this point. I have a Bowflex covered in junk and collecting dust, and I'd like to start using that too.
I am 5' 9.5" and weigh about 200 lbs. According to my BMI, I am obese. According to my Body Fat Percentage (BFP), I am overweight (25.6% as of 5/7/09) ***Will try to update this soon. The BFP is certainly a more accurate measurement since it tells you honestly how much of your weight is actually fat, and it also helps you calculate your Lean Body Mass (LBM) which is your bones, organs and muscle. I will continue to use my BFP to track my progress.
