Learning to accept compliments and an awesome chicken recipe...

So, I've been feeling blue about the weight and if I haven't mentioned it I have plantar fasciitis, so I am stuck wearing running shoes daily. I feel like a total dork. I am not a running shoes kinda girl. I am not a wear the same shoes two days in a row girl. I am a girl with an overflowing closet of shoes. I am a change your shoes in the middle of the day girl. I am a 5 inch heels girl. So, I feel like I am perpetually getting ready to go to the gym.

Anyway, today I am standing in line to get my iced Americano and a total stranger walks up to me and says, "I don't want to be creepy or disrespectful, but I had to tell you that you look amazing." He then walked away. No conversation. No can I get your number. No do you have a boyfriend. Compliment and run. That's what it was, but... it made my day. It wasn't creepy and actually made me stop and put my self-loathing aside for a minute. A stranger thinks I look good and I'm wearing leggings, a sweatshirt and running shoes. Well, OK then.

I simply replied, "Thank you."

Oh yeah and that awesome chicken recipe.
