Compliments are motivating

For some reason it seems that people at work have noticed that my shape has changed. As I've said before I teach ESL and one of my students asked me what I was doing to get in shape. I told her the basics but I was surprised she had noticed. Later in the day one of my co-workers also mentioned it. Even later that day the Executive Director also mentioned it. (Both of whom were women:) Last night my mother-in-law came over for dinner and also gave me a compliment on how I looked. It was funny that it all happened in the same day. It is good because it reminds me I'm on the right track and to keep with it!
