Tickies

I “decided” on three tickies.

And by “decided” I mean, “after several months of not tracking tickies and thinking about which tickies to track and changing my mind and still not tracking tickies, I logged into Joe’s Goals, saw the three tickies that are actually still set up on my Joe’s Goals account, and figured they’d do.”

So, the three tickies are:

• Drinking 3 glasses of water
• Going to the gym
• Tracking food in Daily Plate.

And hey, today, I’m 3 for 3.

Of course, the women’s shower room is being renovated at the gym tomorrow, so prospects for continuing that streak are limited, but we’ll see. Perhaps I’ll go and walk on the treadmill for a bit and come home and shower.

What’s worse than being back where you started?

How about being back where you ended up after you slid backwards from where you started?

When I first started trying to lose weight seriously, I was 337.5, and I lost a bunch of weight (down to about 260) and then gained it all back and then some. The single fattest I’ve ever been was September 3rd, 2008, when I weighed in at 369lbs. Then I lost a bit of it again and got back down to 315 or so, before letting it all go to hell.

Well, this morning, after months of avoiding it, I stepped on the scale.

369lbs.

Right back at the worst it’s ever been.

I could tell you how much that made me cry, but then I’d start crying again.
