Getting back in the game.

Hey Anjana, great tips. I've read so much over the last few years and most of the information is all known. But sometimes its just so difficult to stick to the right food. There were quite a lot of good opportunities I missed to get back into shape. I'm back on the waggon now and instead of cutting down on all types of food, I'm learning to choose and substitute. With majority of the family celebrations out of the way, I am now be free of any temptations. While in Las Vegas for 2 weeks 2.5 years back, I had actually lost weight and was looking slimmer and fitter by the time I landed back in Dubai. The walking and the fresh air did wonders for our health. Also, I've made a decision to do my workouts early in the morn (the hardest part is getting out of bed at 5:30) so that I can look after my kids once I'm back from work. I started today with 20 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the rowing machine. Slowly, I need to increase my time to 1.5 hours of exercise. Any suggestions for the best type/combination of exercise to lose inches and the weight?
