Lost but Forever With Us!



This weekend an amazing friend was lost in a tragic car accident. I needed to exhale, breathe and also mourn with my fellow Savage sisters (www.cathysavagefitness.com), so I went to Sunday session and right away felt the love and spirits lifted. This team of women are truly amazing. Ashley was a amazing light to this team and will deeply be missed but never forgotten <3

I then woke up this morning and felt a bit off and down again. I had contemplated just washing today off and not working out, because I was honestly just feeling downright low. However, I knew Ash would say like all the other Savage girls just get it done! So I decided to get outside and work out my emotions and feelings on the track. I knew that I would feel better after, as I always do. So I cranked up the iPod and went to town! Check out my below workout for a killer mix up to your regular routine.

I was also surprised that during my workout I happened to see 2 butterflies and felt an overwhelming calm come over me. I definitely believe my Nana (who passed this April) was there with me and today she had a friend. It was a sign to keep pushing and know that I do have someone (if not 2) looking down on me.

Needless to say, I exhaled, smiled and went on with my day :)

Until next time, stay healthy and happy!
