All Good Things Must Come to an End - WildFit Wrap-up

Today is the final Zoom call for my WildFit Tribe and I'm looking forward to it and dreading it all at the same time. It's been a long journey - 13 weeks of trials and sacrifice, with varied results in the end, but I'd say more than 80% of the participants are thrilled with the program and going to stick with it past today and tomorrow. Many of these people have joined our separate Facebook group that was set up last week by one of our Tribe members. That will allow all of us to stay in touch with each other, because realistically, most of us have more weight to release and we'll need the support of the Tribe to get there. 




MindValley is a premier location for self-improvement 
classes in a wide variety of aspects. Anything from 
career to personal development courses are available 
through MindValley, along with free Master 
Classes lasting 60-90 minutes in length every 
month or so. I highly recommend MindValley to 
all of you. 



I've done other MindValley classes, in fact I'm taking several others right now, but WildFit was unique. The way the program is structured, with such a high level of interaction and guidance, is what allows it to be as successful as it is, and allows the participants to link to each other. My other classes have taken place on the MindValley network which has participants posting in a far different way than on Facebook, and it's much less interactive with less back and forth between people attending the classes. 




Eric Edmeades is the founder of  WildFit. Although 
we haven't interacted with him directly, our coaches 
do touch base. We were having some people who had 
problems with the program, and I posted a response 
to them. Eric actually responded to me on Facebook, 
personally! I was shocked and delighted. My friend 
Talita was so excited she immediately messaged 
me and we got into a long conversation back and 
forth for a half- hour about MindValley and how pleased 
we were with the classes we were taking. 



I love the classes I'm taking - I think I'm allowing my mind to explore directions I've wanted to go since my college days. I thought I was a bit silly taking four classes at the same time, but my O/L friend, Talita, is taking more than ten. Suddenly I don't feel as silly at all - LOL. 




Lots of green veggies is foundational to WildFit. Add 
high quality protein to that, along with fruits (in season 
only) and other veggies like squash and beets, and you've 
got a lovely variety of food. I've always been a bit 
of a bunny - I love my salads and veggies. The 
emphasis on green veggies was no issue for me. 



But since today is the final Zoom call, we're all taking our Alkagizer drinks along with us, putting them into cocktail glasses, and celebrating. It's Graduation Day for those of us in the basic program, and we're going to toast each other and wish each other the best with cheers and tears this afternoon. Although I'll still be in touch with some people, I'll miss the cohesiveness of the Tribe. But life must go on, and programs have to come to an end. I've made some good friends, and that's the important thing (along with the 15 pounds I've released). Oh, and why released instead of lost? You look for things that are lost, you release things permanently. It's all in the psychology of it. 




I might whip together a simple garnish similar 
to this cute Christmas Tree garnish. I have 
a cucumber that I'll be using today to make 
more Alkagizers, I can get a carrot and olives 
at the grocery store this morning along with 
my regular Friday shop. I actually also need 
to get to Target and the office supply store, 
so my morning is pretty crammed. I've set aside 
a crystal goblet, and I'm totally ready for 
today's Zoom call. 



On that note, I'm off to the store. I still have a lot to get finished before I can settle down in front of my laptop for my Zoom call. Have an excellent Friday and I'll be back tomorrow, and please stay safe and be kind.
