Loving compliments

I've started to get a ton of compliments on weight loss...this is very motivating. I'm excited. People at our old church. Friends..acquaintances...(like the kids bus driver) are noticing a change. Even at Body Pump the other day I was doing a side plank and one of the other girls with whom I often take classes with complimented me on it. It's such an awesome feeling.

I have a long way to go though...but the first time I lost this weight, noone really noticed and it depressed me because how the heck can I lose 40 lbs and noone noticed!

I only have 6 hours to go for my exercise goal this quarter. I have 12 days to do it. Piece of cake. I'll be done by next week. SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF MYSELF for setting this tough goal.

Happy Saturday!

  2. I agree its so frustrating when you feel you have lost a significant amount and no one has noticed. Then they do and the compliments are so rewarding. I think generally people do notice but don't comment until the weight loss is undoubtable.
