A Little Goes a Long Way
Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at 10:24AM “Hey Robert, how’s it going man?”
“Hey George! Man, you are looking trim!”
“Thanks. I’m trying to keep it up,” I say through a smile.
And now I float around all day on that compliment.
What a huge deal. I know I am nowhere near trim but that compliment made me feel like a skinny ninja.
In fact my Wii Fit reminds me that I am Obese on a daily basis although that is getting closer to the Overweight spot on the scale. How sad is it that I am working to be Overweight? Ha ha.
Oh well, its all about the baby steps.
My suggestion or challenge to you all is just to pay at least one person a compliment everyday. That seems easy enough and I can tell you that it goes along way. I cannot wait for racquetball tonight to exercise even more so the next time a vendor comes into the office they can say, “Dang George, I didn’t even recognize you!”

I'm up for the challenge G-Ninja!
By the way, you have really great attitude !
George, you look maaaaahvalous. keep it up buddy.
I want the WII!!!!! I especially wanted the wii-fit until I saw that is weighed you and told you what your "issue" was. Now I'm scared!
I'm sure you look great. I probably won't even recognize you when I see you in Sept. for the big 50 party.
What a good idea, George. Paying a compliment to at least one person every day is such a nice thing to do. Thanks for the challenge! You're such a thoughtful ninja!
Hey thanks for spreading happy thoughts! You're always a great one to help others get outside themselves. :)
What a fantastic idea. Yesterday I got a couple of similar compliments. I figure whatever I was wearing was slimming. :-)
Keep up the good work and write us up another review on the Wii Fit once you have been using for a month or so. I am curious to know how you do with it.
Here's to a amazing day for the Skinny Ninja!
