So a Guy Stops Me...

This morning on my way to work, I went into the nearby Walgreen's to buy a Cliff Bar. While I was there, I saw a guy from my building. Typically we don't talk, so I thought nothing of it. After a while, he came up to me and said, "Excuse me. I live in your building, and have for two years." I said hi. He said, "I just want to know whatever you are doing is working." I said, "Excuse me?" He told me he noticed I have been losing weight, and wondered how I'd done it, because he is trying to lose 100 lbs.

I held up the Cliff Bar and yogurt smoothie I was about the buy, and said these help. I smiled and told him that I run, go to the gym, and watch what I eat. He told me he thought I looked great. I thanked him, and told him I had to get to work. I paid for my stuff and was on my way.

What a nice compliment. This morning I was feeling down, because my legs were in pain. That cheered me up. Gotta love an unexpected compliment.

Charlie, what's a Cliff bar? Nice of the man to mention how good you're looking. Every little bit of encouragement helps, doesn't it?

LOL....to be honest he was not cute. He was very friendly though, which surprised me. Most of the time I see him he looks sullen.
