Compliments at the gym

Today at the gym I worked chest, shoulders and tris. I was doing incline presses next to a guy who was also doing incline presses. I don't know this guy, btw. He probably weighs 100 pounds less than I do and he's lifting a lot more than me. Anyway, as I was going to put away my dumbbells, we kind of crossed paths. I said excuse me and he said "No problem, keep up the good work!" I twittered and blushed and immediately went into the locker room to write Niki + Stranger = 4ever!

After I said a polite thank you to the stranger I left the free weights area. I'm walking through the main floor and one of the other afternoon regulars stops me. "Niki, you are looking really good!" So then I had to go back into the locker room and revise the love math.

I thanked her and went to do abs. I don't know why 2 people decided to compliment me today, but I kind of needed to hear it because the scale was up 2 pounds today. I know it's more than likely water retention because my food over the weekend was great, and I even worked out. Or, it could be the hamburger, salad and blue cheese dressing I had for breakfast. Washed down with a 20oz diet soda and a liter of water.

I'm going to try and get in some cardio tonight.
