Tolman Tubbies v. Food: Who will come out on top?

Well I know it has been a while since I have posted anything but I wanted to let you all know that I am still doing well. I have been in the great Navajo nation for the last month launching a missile from Gallup to White Sands. I found a new Squa and I have changed my name to Squatting Dog. J/K At least I didn't get touched inappropriately like Jami was. NE WAYZ. My last day of the HCG diet was on Saturday and I am glad it is over. It was pretty hard by the end and I wasn't following the diet. All in all I lost 25 lbs and am extremely motivated to continue to get back to a healthy weight. I am starting P90X tomorrow and I really hope that by the end I will be a lean mean fightin machine. Shirye is doing her Zumba class and loves it. She hasn't weighed herself but I have noticed a difference and her clothes are looser on her. She is excited. I read Lisa's post about food and how it is a high priority in our lives and how we plan around it when we get together. Our family loves to eat good food. Its fun to cook food that tastes good. We build memories around it. I can distinctly remember things I ate when I was younger because it was so good. One thing I have realized from the diet is that I can enjoy good food that tastes great but is also healthy and good for my body. It is more important for me to put good things inside my body than to have the momentary joy of eating junk food. It is a real mind over body struggle. But I also think we need to give ourselves a little break on a limited basis so we don't lose control when we are presented with these temptations. I do think that we should try harder as a family to plan meals when we are together that will taste great and be nutritious. I had a burger yesterday with two pieces of lettuce instead of the bun and it tasted great. I am trying to limit my starchy foods and eat more fruits and vegetables and lean meats. I am so proud of all of you and your progress and I know that we can all be successful. I am truly thankful for the inspiration you felt to start this up and get us on the right track. It will change our family forever. I love you all and I can't wait to see you sometime.

P.S. Shelly we received Evans package and will get it back ASAP. I remember I did the same thing when I was younger with Flat Stanley.
