Starting over

I don't know what I'm doing or where I'm going. There is so much information out there and the vast majority of it seems to be angled at people I am not.


I am a middle aged man, 44 years old
I am considered to be underweight at 135 lbs (I don't know my weight at the moment)
My shape is changing from slim to having hips and a belly
I am not physically active nor have been in my youth


I would love to be more muscular and fit. My aspiration is to add about 30 lbs of lean muscle, and to loose what is starting to be a bit of a belly. If I could hit the single digit body fat composition, that would be great.


My challenge right now is that I also have a cooking blog, and I like to bake. I also like to cook French, which often has lots of dairy and fat. I've always eaten pretty clean - I rarely eat junk food, I rarely eat prepared food. I make almost all my meals. So I guess that's in my favor.


Since I prepare my own meals, and I like to cook and cook fresh, which takes time. I commute to work, taking about 2 hours out of my day. The rest of my evenings are for family time, and for building my business. Now I have to figure out when to workout.


Things may also drastically change in my life very soon (hopefully, and hopefully for the better). My office is closing down, and my family is planning on moving to one of the Gulf Islands close to Vancouver Island, Canada.
