I'm not selling a DAMN thing

About a year ago, I was looking for something to help me lose my "relationship weight".
Pants were barely buttoning.
Wearing tight dresses was a nightmare.
Playing soccer felt like I was running a full marathon.
And I was ALWAYS in a

BAD

MOOD

I had noticed for a few months that an old friend of mine kept posting on Facebook about his workout classes, Sweat With Swagg,and his affiliation with Herbalife.

As soon as I realized he was in the Herbalife business, a million NO's came to mind.

"Does he know that this sh*^ doesn't work?"

"Herbalife is only for fat people."

"I thought only Mexicans sold this stuff?"

In short, I knew I had to be on top of my game to make sure he didn't get ANY of my money.

What I DIDN'T count on was all the fun I was going to have.

On August 7th 2014, I met this group and tackled Swallow Cliff in Palos Park.

For those of you unfamiliar with this area, people go to this park to run/walk the beautiful set of stairs you see behind us in this picture. 
There are 125 steps to this set of stairs.

As soon as I drove into the parking lot and saw this massive stair devil, a small voice in my head was telling me to turn back and go home.
Walking towards the stairs I told myself, "I'll just do 2 laps and go home."

But once I got with the group, those voices went quiet.

I went home after walking 10 laps = 1,250 steps

The whole time while I was there all I kept wondering was what type of drugs all these people were on. I just couldn't figure out how they all had so much positive energy, it freaked me out a bit. 

Now, I'm a very social person. I've never had a problem meeting new people. But I had never been around a group of people that were genuinely excited to meet and get to know me (as sad as that sounds).

And the fact that they made me believe I would be able to complete 10 laps of these stairs... THAT was mind boggling.

On my way home I couldn't stop thinking about that energy.  I wish I could feel that... HAPPY, every day.

The feeling is what sold me to try the products. 

I figured, if this is how all these people started to get THAT happy, f^*$ it, why not?

But the FIRST thing I made very clear to my sponsor was that 
1. I'm not a seller
               &
2. I'm not selling sh%^

And not once did he ever try pressuring me into selling.
