Two Compliments on My Well Fit Body

This week has been a good week for me in terms of flattering my vanity. Apart from noticing several people checking me out -- including some women who apparently don't mind my blinding homosexuality -- I received two compliments from people who had noticed the improvement.

The first one came from someone I really don't know. When I lived in Hell's Kitchen, I used to work out at the NYSC on 62nd St. My trainer and I would meet twice a week in the morning before work and do our thing. Well, there was this lady, Joanna, I think, and her trainer who were there with us at the same time. Now and then we would chat with them or work out next to them.

Well, her trainer had to go on a trip, and he asked if my trainer could cover for him.

According to my trainer, she asked about me and wondered why she never sees us any more. He explained that since I moved, I've been working out at a gym further down town. She said she missed us. She also added that she was really impressed with my trainer because she had noticed the progress I had made. He said that she said I looked "hot."

I know, right?

Well, the second one came from my hair stylist. I went to get my haircut today and my stylist is a huggy guy, so upon saying hello, he gave me a hug. When he did he stepped back a little shocked and asked if I had been working out. I told him that I had and he led me to the chair to talk about what I wanted him to do with my cut.

After I was seated, he stood behind me and put his hands on my shoulders and then his eyes got big and he was like, "WOW! You've really been working hard!"

He went on at some length about it.

Later, during our chatting while he was cutting my hair, I made some flirtatious joke and he actually dropped his comb. And still later, he spent an inordinate amount of time brushing loose hair from my shirt.

For sexual assault, it was really quite minor and, again, I appreciate the compliment.

I'm really pleased to be seeing progress myself, but other people are also noticing and that's affirming, too.

I do fully expect to have clearly defined abs at some point this summer.
