Thanks Ron! You are a lucky man to have all 3 Waynorths
The healthy food change is something I started 20+ years ago, I was 39 and had gotten a little heavier than I liked by about 20 lbs or so. I started out just reducing calories, several months later I added an exercise routine and somewhere at the beginning of the exercise routine I started replacing one bad food with a good one, as I got used to not eating that particular bad food I would pick another and replace it. That approach allowed me not to relapse back to my crappy old diet. It's really difficult to make any 180 turn around on diet like flipping a light switch and not give up and go back to your old eating habits or at least for me it was.
To this day I still allow myself a little treat occasionally, we get pizza maybe twice a year and occasionally eat other not so healthy foods. Sugar is the worst in my opinion, fortunately I never had much of a sweet tooth. And of course my fondness of good beer is my worst indulgence in empty calories which I only allow myself to get into on weekends. Moderation is key in food, beer and many other things
Stick with it and never give up!
