    Your plan looks great - effective, actionable, sustainable. Just make sure you're logging food intake correctly (lots of bad entries in the database, lots of ways to underestimate if you don't use a food scale), and if you eat back exercise calories, eat back no more than 50-75%.

    Your plan looks great. Other than watching how it's working and tweaking it where needed based on how you feel on it I have nothing more to add about it. The hard part is habit building, which is probably going to be more achievable since you don't seem to be swinging for extremes.

    Now it becomes consistency. Not sure there’s any magic pill for that. Extremes that have gotten me in trouble have been exercise related. Trying to avoid these extreme. Extreme has gotten me in trouble in the past. Stupid mistakes. Going too fast on bicycle around a bend in the path. Pushing to hard doing a WOD at CrossFit Box here. Have to learn what I call preservation of function. Don’t heal like I did in my Twenties. Don’t few old but sixty is not that many years away.

    You've gained insight that you just could not have had when you were younger. It takes discipline to not overdo exercise and try to undereat, not just to not eat too much and get moving.

    This is a MARATHON NOT A SPRINT..
    Literally!!
    This a lifetime commitment.
    Take it day at a time.
    A step at a time.
    Small changes and build on them.
    If you burn yourself out, you will not stick to it.
    No matter how enthusiastic you feel at the moment.
    YOU CAN DO THIS!
    Just wade in slowly and sensibly.
