Diet has been doing better. Wife does a fantastic job keeping an eye on ingredients and we may go out to eat once a month. She cooks some great stuff, and all three meals 99% of the time are from home if not using things from the property (eggs, veggies, etc). Nothing really processed at all with short ingredient lists. Been great.

Biggest impact I've seen is reduction in alcohol, however. Not that I was drinking a ton, but I'd find myself drinking two or three beers after a long day doing things around the house pretty consistently. Reward for the hard work? I dunno. But effectively not drinking at all except for social get togethers did a lot more than I expected for weight.

They will be out the house sooner than you realize, at which time you can return to a more rigorous fitness routine, if that is what you want.
It's crazy how quick they grow. One will be 5 in a few months and the other will be 3 at the end of the year + one on the way (!). You're right, though. It's the absolute priority - part of being a parent is I get put in the back seat.
