encouragement at the gym

So I was gathering my stuff and heading out of the gym the other day and a woman who works the front desk in the mornings stopped me. She told me something like this:

"Ya know, I watch a lot of the people who train and you work harder than most. A lot of people just go through the motions, but not you. You push yourself and really work hard and you are going to see results soon because of it."

My trainer chimed in, agreeing, and said that she really enjoys working with me.

I thanked them and left the gym feeling so... encouraged. :)

----Body Update---
I am getting so much stronger. Can I just say I finished running the other day and felt so good- I think I actually....get this....enjoyed it. RUNNING! yes, who would have thought, I know...
You wouldn't believe how much I'm paying this woman to torture me :) But it's sooo worth it- she squeezes so much into an hour session and is always switching things up to keep my body guessing.

typical workout (M-W-F)
30 minutes cardio (intervals on treadmill, stairclimber, and/or eliptical)
20-25 minutes weights (alternating upper and lower body)
10 minutes ab work
stretching
