I have so much respect for you. There are a million excuses why not to get in a workout. And with your significant and painful nerve damage you have 2 million reasons.

I always tell people losing weight and getting into shape is simple. But it's hard. Short of a severe metabolic disorder if you really watch what you eat 90% of the time, and make 90% of your workouts you will see fantastic results. And it sounds like your wife and you have made it fun. BTW, I'm Italian, raised with garlic on my cereal and whole wheat pasta is just sadistic. Yes, this is me. I'm 53 next month. I have issues.
