Congratulations! What a great story!
I can't resist pointing out: turning this around was a matter of finding a point of agreement (we need healthy lifestyles) and working from there...
I'm not pointing it out to say "look how smart I am." It's a fundamental and basic concept of managing conflict and negotiating and it just plain works. We would do well to use it often in our relationships!
Now you'll both feel better about yourselves when you go on the trip!
Everybody wins.
