kicking some a$$ one muffin at a time

In January I took a leap of faith by starting, what initially sounded to me like a crazy insane diet.  Never in a million years did I imagine THAT,would have evolved into THIS.  What is “THIS”?  A business.  A passion.  A drive to help people do what I did.  I get this amazing rush when people send me emails, or text messages with their daily or weekly “weigh-ins”.  They feel better than they have felt in years.  They feel good, they look good.  Beauty comes from the inside.  Confidence comes with feeling and looking good.  With confidence, people step outside their comfort zone and do things they never would have done before. 

I stopped in this last week to see one of my “shrinking muffins”.  I couldn’t believe how amazing she looked.  Her and her husband did round 1 together and are gearing up to start round 2 this weekend!  She said to me, “we are really excited to start round 2”.  WOW – getting excited to start a diet?!?!  But seriously, if you only knew the transformation that goes on in your body – you’d be excited too.  Not to mention, a diet that actually makes you feel great!  WTH? Unheard of, really.  By the first week of May, they will have released a combined total of between 100-120lbs.  Pretty damn amazing and a great way to celebrate their upcoming birthday’s!  I have still not seen that damn “man-muffin” since he started (that’s right, I called him a man-muffin LOL!)  I’m thinking I may just hold-out until he releases all his weight.  I’ll probably cry when I do see him – just sayin’! 

I could go on and on about the other’s and their success stories – perhaps I should get my a$$ in gear and update my “Shrinking Muffin” page. 

Another aspect of this “business that started by accident” are the connections and relationships I am building in the “business” world.  I am meeting some amazing dynamic people from the Central Alberta area, and beyond.  I had no idea there was this whole world of like-minded people.  I connect with them on a different level – because we are just that, “like-minded”. Many of us have the same goal of motivating and inspire others.  Some of them are just plain awesome!

Some reflection for Good Friday.  Ego and Fear = Crucifixion. Ultimate triumph of Love = Resurrection. Knowing This = Faith. Counting on it = Power.
