After his brief setback, Mark found that continuing to follow his plans for exercising and eating better got easier and easier. Realizing that eating right did not mean "dieting" enabled Mark to actually enjoy his food and not over indulge. Feeling better from exercising motivated Mark to recruit his brothers and join a community basketball league that they could all enjoy one night a week. Mark found that using the coaching from LifeHub to help master his stress at work and using their Career Skills information to improve his job performance was making a real difference in his mood, which carried over to his life at home.

Mark felt that the most important thing he was learning, however, was that self-development is a journey. Sometimes there are bumps on the road that are expected, and sometimes there are bigger bumps that are unexpected. The important thing is to re-group and get back in the game instead of sitting on the sidelines.

Mark was maintaining the gains he had made and was continuing on the journey.
