NSV at the gym

When I first started out at the gym being the 305 pound behemoth that I was I could barely do 10 minutes on the treadmill. Now 4 months later 60 mins on an elliptical and "wailing on my pecs" for another 45 minutes (i.e. strength training) with my personal trainer is now the norm. Since then I've dropped about 45 pounds and have started to get noticeable muscle definition again.

The NSV was in the locker room this morning. One of the really hard bodied, cut and carved lifters stopped me as I came in and complimented me. He said "I had you pegged as tourist who would be gone in 3 days. I was wrong and wanted to say I've been seeing you these last few months working your *kitten* off and it is very noticeable. Keep it up as your doing great."

Yeah- I was ear-to-ear grin. That was very nice of him and I'm grateful for it.

    That really is an awesome NSV, and the fact that someone stepped up admitted there mistake on underestimating you and then complimented you what could be better than that!!! Keep up the great work
