Supporting Cast

I couldn't have made it this far without help. My roommates have been a huge source of encouragement and support - they have been able to push the right buttons so to speak and make me feel more accomplished than I thought. There were times that it seemed like I made little or no progress on such a huge challenge, but I can count on their positive spin and glass half-full rhetoric to keep moving along, no matter how small the steps may be.

In addition, just being able to talk to my classmates about their progress and struggles is encouraging in its own way because I know that I'm not alone in working towards behavior change. I feel comfort and assurance that I have people around me that I can turn to for support in any of my pursuits and I'm grateful that I have them around!

Update:

11.05 miles last week spread over 3 days with an extra hour of basketball to increase my overall activity level for the week!

Below is a hilarious prank gift box from the Onion store...works great for any occasion!
