From My Couch To A 5K... And Beyond!

Tyly- Stopped in to see how you were doing and you're really ripping it up down there in Texas. Congrats on the size 8 pants... do you ever try to think back to when you last remember being a certain weight... it's always a shock but a good one! And I must say that you are breathtaking in your pics. You look long and lean (I suspect you're on the taller side?) and absolutely radiant. I bet James can't keep his hands off you!!! :D
 
You look hot. (And hot teachers are even hotter than normal hot people, just ask teenage boys.)

I concur with this statement! :D

Just popping by to check up on ya and it looks like you've been hard at work!
Congrats on your new size. You're doing amazing work Tyly!:hurray:
 
As I said in your B&A thread, that's quite the transformation. You have a lot to be proud of!

Plus, that's so awesome about the pants. You must be stoked!!!

Congrats.
 
WOW. What a big difference Tyly. You look damn great!

Thank you! :)

You look amazing....but that is a complete understatement. Very proud of you, Tyly. (I'm also very jealous :))

You are too kind. Thank you very much!

You look hot. (And hot teachers are even hotter than normal hot people, just ask teenage boys.)

I agree. Teachers are the hottest of the hot. Thanks! :)

Looking great Tyly!!!!! You have done such a great job

Thank you! :)

Awww... thanks! I always try to think back and remember weights and sizes, and I know I haven't been this small since high school! It's a great feeling!

Steve, you are too sweet. Compliments mean a lot coming from you! Thanks! PS - Thankfully, I still have the same size melons! :D

AMAZING transformation. but still the same beautiful woman!

Thank you very much!!!
 
I took a personal day from work today to go watch my brother play baseball out of town. I knew I would be busy all day, so I woke up early to get in my run, and I am seriously considering quitting my job now!

This morning was sooooo PERFECT! The weather was cool with a slight breeze, but not cold. The sun was out, but not enough to have to squint. It was absolutely perfect! I would love to be able to run in the mornings, which is why I want to quit my job now! I had no idea how beautiful the mornings are, since I am always in my classroom. Stupid bills to pay... ugh.

I have only been running 30 minutes at a time, but with the race coming up on May 3rd, and the weather being too gorgeous for words, I decided it was time to try the 5K! I am happy to report that I was able to do it easily! I didn't push myself on the speed, because I was more concerned with making the distance. It took 37:28, which I realize is pretty slow, but again, I DID IT! I know a lot of people could run it faster than that with a broken leg, but oh well! I know I can push myself to go faster!

I am just happy to know that I am able to do it with no problems, and that makes me even more excited for May 3rd!

PS - There was a 159.0 sighting on the scale this morning! :D

Thats good that you got your run in this morning, its always nice to excerise in the mornings when doing it outside! 159 on the scale...woooohooooo!!!!!!!!
 
That's fantastic

Congratulations on hitting your goals so far! I think the Couch-5K program is brilliant. It's people like you who inspire other people to push themselves farther than they ever thought they could. Bravo!
 
Yup--yer hot. :drool5: time for a day early boobie soaping to celebrate your hotness--and running a 5k, and getting into a size 8, and hitting the 150s!!!!! Geez, is there anything you can't do? :)

Thank you so much, BB! I am truly thankful to you for doing these challenges! They are very motivating!!!

Ooooh 150's on the horizon. An amazing feeling!

5K, that is great. I will am quite a ways from that goal. I'll make, I swear!

Yes, you will make it!!!! Like I keep saying, if I can do it, anyone can! :D

You are so sweet. Thank you very much!
 
Oh YEAH!

So much to celebrate!

1. I broke into the 150's!!

2. I lost 3 pounds to help out my challenge team!

3. Today I am wearing my size 8 Gap jeans with a size medium t shirt!

4. By breaking the 160 point, that puts me at losing over 50 pounds from my heaviest weight of 210!

5. I was a size 16. I am now a size 8.

6. I love to take pictures now. I have always been photogenic, but I always felt like I looked fat in them.

7. In only 8.8 more pounds, James is buying me $100 of new clothes! See the new ticker?!

8. I can run 3.1 miles! Probably even more - I need to try that soon.

9. I am finally at a healthy BMI! I started at "obese", and I have worked my way to "healthy"!

Today is already such a wonderful day, and it is only 6:20 am!

:D

You're so enthusastic! Great job on doing the 5K. Dont you get summers off?

Thanks! :)

I sure do! I would love to teach summer school (big $$), but I don't have seniority. There's only 1 position open per grade level, and there's several people that have been around way longer than me (35+ years!).
 
158!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS :)
