Hi! 
As many of you know, I am Tyly (tie-lee).
I decided to start a brand new diary to record my journey.
A little about me for those who don't know:
I am 25 years old, and I am a second grade teacher in Texas. I have a great boyfriend (James), and we live together with our two furbabies, Max (dog), and Bo (cat). He has also decided to join me in a quest to get healthy, and I couldn't be more excited about that! He has been a great source of support, and I think he may poke around here to check out the site. I am always telling him how great it is!
At my heaviest (December, 2006), I weighed 210 pounds and tightly wore a size 16 pants.
I decided to make a change, and in the spring (January, 2007) I joined this amazing site! I went down to 178.4 pounds and comfortably wore a size 14 pants. Unfortunately, it didn't stick that time, and I went back up to 194 pounds and struggled to get into the size 14s.
This winter (November, 2007), I decided that I had enough! It was time to get back on the wagon, and I was 100% determined to make it a permanent change.
I have since gone down to 167.0 pounds, and I am in a size 10 pants. Those are both numbers that I had not seen since early college, so I am thrilled!
Thrilled, but not finished!
I started the Couch - 5K Program this January, and I am now in Week 7 (of 9). I was an absolute running beginner. Week 1 has you start with 60 seconds of jogging, and I have since been able to conquer 25 without stopping! I'm sure I could do more, but I am following the program very strictly.
I am very proud of the fact that I am now training for a specific 5K! I am going to run in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on May 3! It benefits breast cancer, so it is something that I am very proud of. I am hoping to be able to complete it in 30 minutes, but only time will tell!
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
