Stranger at the GYM

So......I've been going to the GYM for just over a month. It was a long haul getting there with my rup disc - the epidural that allowed me to start moving again and the surgery that has been a miracle for me. :bigsmile:
At the GYM today - I'm just starting to do my squats (ball behind me on the wall and holding weights) this is best for my arthritic knee.
This lady comes up to me - I'm thinking she pointing to the wall behind me and realize she's pointing to my ear phones - she's asking "can you hear me?"
Yes I reply and wonder what advice she is going to offer me and then she starts telling me how great I'm looking - she says "you look so much stronger and you're thinning out"....I'm speechless! She keeps talking and asking if I can feel the difference - yes I reply as my workout shirt is several years old but looks brand new coz it never fit well, but now....it does!
I humbly thank her - blinking away tears welling up in my eyes! :blushing:
What a wonderful feeling for a complete stranger to come up to me and let me know that she had noticed the change in my body in just over a month.....WOW!
Such an awesome NSV!!!!!!!
For all you newbies....this works! Yes...it takes commitment and yes you have ups and downs, but IT WORKS!!!! Day by day, logging your foods, moving your body and asking for and giving support!
To all my MFPs - love ya bunches! :flowerforyou:
