I need to find a middle ground of some hard work, some sacrafic but it still has to be fun and still has to have a mix of foods that I actually enjoy.

The older you get the more you have to sacrifice in order to maintain a 6pack. When I was young I had a 6 pack too, then again I was also skinny in general without a whole lot of muscle mass.
I agree 100% about finding a middle ground though. That's a rough outline about what would be needed to really lean up to the point of having a 6pack. Do what you feel comfortable doing while still seeing results.

It can't be that hard, 10 years ago I ate total trash, junk food, drank lots of beer so my diet was total shit and I had a nice 6 pack. I played a lot of basketball, football, worked out 5 times a week and was very active and enjoyed doing it. When i wasn't working out I was walking a couple miles a day around campus going to classes carrying a 40 pound back pack.
I know its still possible to get in good shape, at least for me without having to go hardcore on the diet. I think, for me, what I lack in diet I need to make up for in exercise and calorie burning.

I think you should be more realistic with your goals.
Regardless of what you do in-terms of training you're going to need some sort of discipline in your diet to get to the point of seeing a 6pack.
I'm fairly active, lift 3x a week + cardio 4x a week as well as full court basketball 2x a week. Even then I don't have a 6pack showing, unless you have very good genetics it takes a strict diet.
Ask dyna mo! I can guarantee regardless of what his routine was like he saw the biggest results due to his diet. Even with all those P90X type programs they come with strict diet guidelines you have to follow to see the results they advertise.
Anyways, good luck. In the end it's all about being healthy and looking good. You don't have to live an uncomfortable lifestyle just to have a 6pack.
