Okay so I've been a full time student for about six weeks, as well as a single working mother, etc etc. I've been working out since February 16 and have seen slight changes, been uber frustrated at the journey and haven't had any real "victories" to help push me along. Well today as I was leaving class my professor and I started talking about working out and how I was heading to the gym because I was frustrated with my take-home test and needed a mental break.

He commented on how when I first started in the class I had a much rounder face and looked heavier. Now, today, my face is way thinned out and I look leaner/toner. He also stated that I have a natural prettiness about me that is starting to come out and he was proud =). I know it's not much, but this compliment coming from a man who RARELY gives out compliments means a lot and I know it was geniune. It has re-affirmed that my hard work is paying off even if I dont see a lot of results with the scale.

It really made my day =)
