My first 2010 DetoX

This is the third day of what I intended to be a 1 day detox. Why the change? I weighed myself and found that I's gained 15 pounds over the course of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the loss of a loved one on Christmas Day.

My goal had been to lose 50 pounds over the first five months of 2010 but now I have to up it to 65 pounds--13 per month instead of 10. My goal is to weigh 165 by my birthday. That is about what I weighed when I was in the best shape of my life. I previously achieved that weight through vigorous exercise, now I will do it with moderate exercise and eating a lot less.

My weights thus far have been as follows

Day 1: 230, 230
Day 2: 226, 227
Day 3: 224, 222

I weigh myself before drinking DetoX the two times each day. The loss of eight pounds in 3 days is remarkable but I've been stuffing myself for the past two weeks.

Tomorrow I'm going to decide whether to continue. My dilemma is I had planned to do regular short fasts to test my ability to restrict my eating in-between fasts. Right now however, I feel so good that I hate to stop.
