We had a great sunday session today! new girls, and vets alike. You girls rock. I am happy to report Stacy C placed top 5 at the jr usa's in So Carolina, and Savage South Coach Celia Thompson coached fitness class B winner Nikki C to a win there. Andi Martin won Ms Fitness Iron City in Pittsburgh. A great weekend all around. I am on my way home to see if we can manage a cookout despite the sudden rain?

On my way to the studio for a long but inspirational day with my teammates!

Kids are home today as there way too many kids at their school who are sick. I figure whats one day when you are in first grade and pre-k! Thank God for blackberries so when I email you today, be patient! LOL.. I am likely answering you while swimming with the kiddies! LOL.. well, thank goodness for my talent of multi-tasking! Anyway, I am looking forward to next weekend and the crazy no-nonsence nutrition seminar we have planned. I am also glad that we are scheduling the teleseminar version of it as well. We want all our teammates to be a part of it. The cool thing is that many girls flew in for it but we know that all of you cant do that so we will make the next one a teleseminar for sure! We have had plenty of these seminars before but this one has so much more energy for some reason. I think a part of the reason is that we are all so tired of hearing about all the harm and dangers of all these products and programs out there. Its time to set the record straight and put HEALTH first!

I know a thing or two about making IDOLS!

Happy Thursday! Well I watched American idol last night and I mu8st say I am bummed out that Adam didnt win. Kris is good and Ilike him but he sounds like everyone else on the radio. I think I actually had guys in my high school music groups who sang like him- GOOD but forgettable. I like him though and I wish him well. But ADAM is a star! (and you all know how I feel about star power!) its a beautifuul thing- He will be an incredible star just like Chris Daughtry so perhaps this is a blessing in disguise! now he doest have to make a certain type of CD- he can have more freedom so again, everything happens for a reason. best of luck to both of them. I honestly was cheering for Danny all season long. He was clearly my favorite- and not because he looks like my pal, Dave Follansbee-NPC New England Chairman. I loved Danny's story of overcoming tragedy and experiencing triumph. Danny lost his wife to a heart problem, 4 weeks before trying out for IDOL. What an amazing journey he has been on and I WILL buy his CD! Oh well, IDOL is over but not to worry- now its on to my all time favorite show ever-SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE- it starts tonight! totally cant wait! its a Savage Girl fav! Have a great day all!

May 20th is my 8 year wedding anniversary! It doesnt seem possible that eigtht years ago today, I got married to my incredible hubby. Eight years later we have two kids, ages 7 and 5 and they are the reason I wake up every morning. As I always say, my life began the day I became a MOM and my life was pretty awesome even before then! Nothing is better than being a wife and MOM. John enables me to balance it all- being a business owner and having a personal life. I couldnt do it without him. He is a huge supporter of Cathy Savage Fitness and he has been with me every step of the way. We both waited a long time to get married and whn we did it, it was RIGHT! He believes in my decisions and my loyalty to my clients who are like my daughters. As a business man, he respects my ethics of not trying to hit my clients up with endless sales pitches and useless products. He really believes in what we have accomplished and our "good girl" message. So thank you Johnny for being strong enough to be married to a strong woman. So many men couldnt handle it but you do it with ease!

Happy Tuesday! Busy Busy Busy! I am working on a number of new programs and products currently. Our nutrition seminar next week is nearly sold out and of course, Jodi, our physique transformation engineer is pulling out all the big guns for this one! Jodi will be producing a nutrition teleseminar within the next few weeks for those of you who arent able to attend!
Jodi and I are also working on some really cool programs and products as well and Tiff BAchus and I are also collaborating on some really nice programs! Needless to say there is alot going on! Throw in the fact that my kids are busy as well so following their absolute cuteness is the higlight of my day! Mad props to husband of the year (my hubby) for not only having his own successful career but for being there for me and the kids and for understanding this crazy fitness life I lead.

MONDAY!

Sorry I have been away for a few days from this blog! I promise to keep it up for you all! The past weekend was great- We had a brilliant sunday session with alot of new gals who are eagerly getting ready to compete! I spent a great deal of time letting these girls know how beautiful they are- and to stop worrying about tghe small stuff! I wish these ladies could see what I see!! As women we are all so hard on ourselves and as we reach for that PERFECT BODY, we need to see the good things that is in each and every one of us!
