VITALITY IN VIAMI (MIAMI) - DAY 1

The weekend of July 13-15 was one AWESOME weekend! It was the annual celebration of PROSPERITY HEALTH and LIFE for ViSalus, the company that gave birth to the 90 DAY CHALLENGE! As a Promoter who recently achieved the rank of Director

I knew it was imperative that I attend this event if I wanted my business to grow ... and GOD am I glad I did!

I am a big social net-worker which has contributed to a lot of my success at sharing my personal testimony with my 90 Day Challenge and looking at all the posts about how HYPE and EXCITED everyone was about VITALITY I knew I'd made the right decision to be there. Preparing for my Journey to Vitality was SO fun ... hats, minimal make up (thank GOD I don't need a lot), clothes, shoes, etc. SEE FOR YOURSELF!!

I had so much fun picking out clothes to take to VIAMI (Miami) but did not have an all white outfit for the VITALITY ALL WHITE party. Yes there are 2 pictured BUT they were from my old size *sigh* but my sponsor came through SHOPPING IN VIAMI I went!

The morning of I could hardly contain myself! I've lived in Florida for over 10 years now but had NEVER gone to MIAMI let alone gone to a ViSalus event on such a large scale. I was more than "crunk" when Hakim (1 of my up-lines and dear friends) arrived, it was TIME TO GO!! Suitcase, hats and VI nutrition on deck NOW LETS GO!!! Lets make our way to Kevin's to link up with the rest of the Vi fam!!

Up the street and around the corner we go to our newest Regional Director/Bimmer Club member Kevin's house to link up with he and new Director Dominique. Upon arrival shakes were being made and excitement was IN THE AIR! It was now time to pack the rental, a Chevy Impala but NEXT YEAR we will be in a BIMMER CONVOY! You can BET THAT!!

So now it's time to hit the road, so much excitement in the car. Everyone is buzzing with expectations of this event, of ourselves and during this time we all developed a HUNGER! PEOPLE please know and understand when you are on the challenge is it most important that you eat! We are taught to eat 6 small meals daily ... of that 6 you are replacing 2 with shakes and then 1 sensible meal. Those other 3 should be healthy snacks that make you feel "content" after eating, not full or stuffed but content. All of your meals, VI life or not, should have you feeling content. FOOD RUN!!!

Back on the road with LOTS of fun

extra silly moments

and lots of VI excitement! Like this right here

, getting CRUNK off of that GO because it was GO TIME!!! *dies laughing* It did get worse from there once we started seeing traffic and these signs ...

... MIAMI WE'RE HERE!!!! Now its time to hit the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS directly across from the airport to shower and change! It's a must that we look the ViSalus part (SN: Dress $3.99 from Body Central clearance)!!

Upon arrival to the American Airlines Arena, I have to say, a surreal feeling rushed over me! I didn't know what to expect, the true magnitude of this event but that was shortly put to rest! My expectations were no where NEAR what they should have been! This was an event on a MUCH larger scale than I had imagined! IT WAS REAL Y'ALL!!!

Registration lines were LONG

but long lines mean NOTHING when you have your VI family with you!!

The first night was MAGICAL and the arena was PACKED!!

There is NOTHING like being in the midst of 20,000 VISALIANS all there for the same reason ... to aide in the battle against the #1 HEALTH ISSUE IN THE WORLD ... OBESITY! The opening event had EVERYONE amped and ready to RUN THE PLAYS!! Day 2 would HAVE to be even better!

We all left VITALITY Day 1 with thoughts of putting in work AS WELL AS the thought of hitting the MIAMI streets! Those thoughts had me feeling a bit out of character, had me putting on things to go out that I would NEVER wear or was that the Vi life that had me feeling like that? Good question ... needless to say we did not go out since we had to be at the arena so early the next morning but THIS would have been South Beach wear right here!!

Time for bed ... DAY 2 was going to be a LONG day! TOOTLES!!
