March 17

March 17. Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Attended a luncheon today and ate a lot of green food!! It was lots of fun, and I really enjoyed spending time with my co-workers today! We don't get to see each other very often, so it was a fun day for us!
     This week has been stressful for me, and sometimes as I've learned, we run into a wolf in sheep's clothing. But amazingly I'm still working out everyday, and watching what I eat! I do believe this is the first time ever, that I haven't hit the food pantry to comfort myself! I've worked out harder this week than ever, and I'm sure that's me releasing the stress! It's working and it feels great!!!
   People are noticing that I'm losing weight, so that makes me feel good to hear the compliments! My clothes definitely are getting looser now, so I'm sure I'll be heading to the store in the next few weeks to buy some more pants! 
    I was really down in the dumps today, and I truly believe that God sends us blessings everyday. Some days I notice them more than others, this I know, but one of my kindergarten students today before getting off the bus, turned, looked at me, and out of the blue gave me a hug, and said I just wanted to give you a hug today Mrs. Potter.... a true blessing from God....That hug made my day and bought a smile to my face!!
    I'm still motivated to continue this weight loss journey, and I'm confident that all of us contestants will be successful!!!!! 
Have a Great Day Everyone!!!
