3 compliments in 2 days!

Hi everyone,

I got 3 compliments in 2 days from 3 different people and it felt great!

The 1st compliment was from a girlfriend I hadn't seen in a couple of months. We went out to dinner and must have raised my arm to do something. She later asked if I was still going to the gym and I said no, I hadn't been there in about 6 months. She pointed to my arms and said "But you are so ripped!" I then told her I do Cathe everyday!

The 2nd was when I was getting my Flu shot. The nurse told me to relax my arm and I did. She then said again and a 3rd time to relax my arm or it will hurt. I got annoyed and said "It is relaxed!" She looked down at my hand and picked it up and saw that I was relaxed (as opposed to making a fist with my hand and tensing up) and then looked at my arm and said "oh, you just have very nice definition."

The 3rd was from my man. He was playing around with my legs and said that my legs were "crazy hard" (this is a compliment in man-speak). He said he has noticed that my legs are all muscle lately and that the step videos are certainly working. He mentioned that he was noticing earlier in the day when we were out shopping I had to climb a chair and then was squatting and he said my legs had "great definition" and "crazy muscle".

This was all was great to hear. I see myself everyday so I don't see all the changes like others. I have been an absolute bean pole my entire life and even after working out at the gym and doing weights, I have never had great muscle definition - was just skinny. Nice to hear I am putting on the inches in a good way!
 
Yay! It's awesome when your hard work is noticed :D Congrats Gobias!

I've been a bean pole too and have a tough time building muscle. My sister is thin but takes after my Dad and builds great muscle. No fair :(

Keep up the good work girl :)
 
woo hoo ...good for you...this gives me hope...now that I am trying to work back up again to that place after being injured!! I am happy for you!:)
 
Awesome to get those compliments when you're doing it to stay healthy especially in manspeak. The other day at the Social Security Office when my card, I thought, was lost and some former customers told me I looked 38 when I will be 50 this year. I did find my card the minute I walked in the house in the place I didn't check.
 
Thanks everyone for the replies! It really is nice to get a compliment. My guy also told me he noticed my arms have muscle when I was putting in my ponytail (I guess I was raising up my arm kind of making a bicep curl).

I also have been wearing shorts a lot lately and I usually rarely do since my thighs are practically as wide as my calf (looks fine on a 13 year old - not on a 30 year old!). I used to always wear capris or skirts to hide the skinny but now that I have some thigh definition I feel comfortable in shorts.

I've been a regular exerciser (weights and cardio) for 15 years now so I wonder why now I am getting real results. I used to always go to the gym and do the machines. I think a combination of the free weights used on Cathe's videos and the fun factor Cathe has on her videos has made the difference. Not to mention the variety - I have all of her videos.

Seriously everyone - If I can get results, anyone can get results!
