Too-much strong drink and fatty foods is a dangerous trap that many fall into.
Both of which can lead to the most dreaded result of all, for me ......... having a stroke. I push myself with cardio-exercise so that I don't have to go on blood pressure meds. I will if it gets to the point that I can't keep my b.p. at safe levels with diet and exercise but, it's a last resort and I'll fight it as long as I can.
Make yourself get back into your exercise routine, Lloyd. It's worth it. I believe it's good for the mind as well as the body.
