Master  3195     Just South of Boston |  Subject: 1 year anniversary of my getting off the couch! WhooHooo!So, a year ago today I finally shed the couch, and made it to the gym. Realizing my lifestyle, eating, and nonactive habits were a road to ruin, I crawled out of bed and went through my first workout in far too long. I did mostly cardio & strength training until I discovered the fun of tris in June.... Fast forward to today -- I'm feeling as fit as I have ever, I've lost 60 pounds, I've found a passion in S/B/R and racing, am active just about every day, I eat better, sleep better, and feel stronger and more energetic. Have a season planned for 2011 of several races, and am pushing myself to get more fit. The only downside is a case of plantar fasciitis which is forcing me to miss my planned 1/2 mary on 3/20, but I'm recovering, and will be back at running - albeit gradually - in no time. I've changed my life for the better in the last year, and I could not be happier about it. Yeah, me |

| Extreme Veteran 517 | Subject: RE: 1 year anniversary of my getting off the couch! WhooHooo! Isn't it awesome??? It's been right about a year for me too. Personal trainer dragged me out on the floor and started putting me through my paces. That plus cardio and good nutrition brought me down 45 lbs. I'm 15 lbs heavier than my record low weight, but a size smaller, so the extra is all muscle. I love it. Just started tri training in Jan - so much to learn and so far to go! Yea you! Yea us! |

| Member 191 Elk River | Subject: RE: 1 year anniversary of my getting off the couch! WhooHooo! Mike - Nice job and congratualtions. When I read your post I realized that you and I are in the same boat. Last year on February 28th I made the same decision. I am down 60 lbs as well have done 4 5k's last year and am also trianing for my first tri this year. It feels great to have energy, look healthier and know that you can run more then 100 yards before getting winded. Keep up the good work and don't stop. |
