In preparation for my workout on Tuesday night, I had stacked my folded shorts, tank top and sports bra on the dresser. Nate was at a friend’s house and I had just come home from a class. As I pulled the sports bra off the top of the stack, I noticed a small piece of paper tucked between it and the next article of clothing.

Tears may or may not have filled my eyes, thinking about what an awesome guy I have! I love that he notices the effort I put into exercise and that he’s my biggest cheerleader (actually, I think there’s tight competition between him and Kiddo in that regard).

Even though my fitness journey is for me, I love that I have so much support from those I love!

When I read blogs or weight loss forum comments from people who don’t have the support of their friends and family, it makes me sad. I wish everyone had the support system I have because I think it makes a world of difference. We can lose weight, eat healthier and become more fit without support, but having it makes life so much easier!
