I was encouraged today

I'm down 43 lbs in the last few months, thanks to eating less and getting in a lot of walking. As I came home from my walk this evening, a neighbor stopped me and told me I was looking good and that he had seen me out for a few walks recently. We chatted about fitness (he's a runner), and he complimented me again.
I hope I remember to do the same thing for others, and I encourage anyone else to do the same.

Yay! Those were the greatest moments for me, when a neighbor would stop me and marvel at the changes I showed!

I was out on a run and this guy passed me like I was standing still. I yelled "holy crap you're fast" and the guy must have been going slower than the speed of sound because he heard me and yelled back "so are you, you've got this" which I could barely make out given the Doppler shift. But you can see exactly where it happened on the Garmin track because the encouragement sped up my pace.
