Well, I joined a gym and this morning had a session with a personal trainer. I woke up, ate a string cheese (as I don't eat much first thing in the mornings), and took off for the gym. He had me warm up on the treadmill for about 5 minutes, then we moved to the circuit machines (?) i think, where there were 4 machines for the upper body/ arms, and 4 machines for the lower body/ legs. did each machine 4 different times with attempting 10 reps on each. Finished by a good pace on the treadmill for 10 minutes. When I was done I was absolutely famished! I haven't exercised in years, and this was the first time I have done the whole gym experience, doesn't seem too bad other than I am bored out of my mind while on the treadmill. I can't stand it. My question for all you who are exercising, or gyming it, what do you eat before and after? I will email my nutritionist, however I wanted everyones input here. Thanks.

forgot to add just over three months out, and figured now would be a good time to start, plus financially I finally had the money LOL

You should have a slow (complex) carb before your workout to sustain energy throughout - e.g. steel-cut oatmeal, bran Cereal, other types of porridge or whole grain cereal. After the workout, it should be a quick Protein (whey protein is the best) and a carb along with it (milk in your Protein Shake will provide the carbs).
