Yesterday afternoon, via Twitter, I was invited to the following event:
A blogger happy hour with Kathy Kaehler that involves martinis, celebrity gossip, and fitness tips!? Sign me up!!!
The get-together sounded great to me, so I made plans to meet up with the group at the “City Bar” at the Lenox Hotel later that night.
If you’ve never heard of Kathy Kaehler, she’s a celebrity trainer, who has devoted her life to helping people live happy, productive, and healthy lives. She has trained such celebrities as Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian, Cindy Crawford, Julie Roberts, and Claudie Schiffer. Kathy even worked with Jane Fonda back in the day! If you’re into ExerciseTV, you’ve probably seen one of her videos.
Upon arriving, a whole slew of appetizers were served to the table. I had already eaten dinner, but it didn’t stop me from chowing down.
The cheese dip with crostinis was amazing! I could not stop eating it!
I also drank a couple glasses of Chardonnay over the course of the evening. I wasn’t planning to drink more than one glass, but I was having such a nice time chatting with Kathy and the bloggers, I went for a second one.
It was great meeting Kathy! She was so down-to-earth. I wasn’t sure what to expect with a “celebrity trainer,” but Kathy was really sweet and totally normal. She shared some juicy celebrity gossip with us, too! 
I also really loved chatting with the local fitness bloggers! What a fantastic group of women!
We should definitely do it again, ladies!

How much fun is that! I want the celeb tidbits.
It looks like you had a great time!
I actually hadn’t heard of her but that’s pretty awesome.
You’re so pretty on that last picture! Classy.
Looks like a fun night at the Lenox!
Dude!! I want some celebrity gossip!!!!
What a fun get together! I would have loved to hear the celebrity stories. I am a celebrity junkie, I have to admit.
I enjoyed a drink (or two) more than I wanted to last night too. But the nights where you are just having fun and enjoying the conversations and company, those are some of the best nights.
Have a good day!
We need something like this in Louisville. I mean, its a big city. I’ve been reading CNC for about 3 weeks now, love the recipes, photos, life stories, etc. Thank you for sharing, and inspiring. I’ve recently lost almost 60 lbs and find blogging and other social media to be a big motivator and accountability – and love helping others as well (opportunities are coming PTL). You had mentioned NuVal (I think). I would love to see what I can do to help you with that.
What a fun event!
What a treat! I would’ve loved to have met her. You’re a lucky gal!
You’ve got to give us some celebrity gossip. Perhaps a blind item?
that is wicked cool you got to meet a celeb trainer!!
jenna
mmm cheese and bread are one of the best combos on earth
CELEB gossip! Total guilty pleasure!
And by the way, LOVEE your shoes!!
omg that cheese dip looks dangerously good! love crostinis, too!
what a neat event! i think it’s time to share the gossip though… maybe if we get a couple more glasses of wine in ya we’ll get the goods!
How awesome that you got the chance to meet a celebrity trainer. It looks like you all had a ton of fun!
Sounds like a fun night! That is so cool that you got to meet a celebrity trainer!!! I bet she does have a lot of stories to tell.
Have you tried kettlebells yet? Unbelievable workout for every muscle and your cardio, done in 20-30 minutes. The right trainer with an RKC background is the only way to go, no Biggest Loser Jillian stuff! Let me know if you’d like to learn more about it.
Cool event! She has an impressive list of celeb clients.
What an awesome event! I’m glad you were able to go. I wish I could get more stuff like that to come to my city
I LOVE celeb gossip… its my indulgence
Kathy Kaehler is aewsome! Exciting you got to meet her!
Looks like a great time! Those apps look great and I LOOOOVE your shoes!

What a fun time. Love your shoes!
I love your outfit! You look so pretty! The shoes are hot!!
Looks like such a fun time!
Any fittness tips you want to share ? I am looking for new ideas !
Celebrity gossip is my weakness! Looks like a great time…
Aah!!! Can you get me an “in” with Kathy and a training job in Boston?!?!
So fun that you could go last minute. Looks like you had a blast!
That is so cool! I have a Claudia Schiffer “legs” video that she is on and it is good! What did you learn that you can share with us?
What a great experience! Looks like you all had a blast!
I’ve never been to the Lenox for drinks before, but it looks really nice. Adding that to my list of things to do!
Very cool event
That sounds so awesome!! Glad you got the opportunity!
Hey, Tina! Fun night. Can you give us the scoop on your nude colored shoes. LOVE them. And they appear to be somewhat comfy wedges, no? Thanks!
@Heather: They’re from Aldo’s.
omg that would be my dream job… working out with celebrities? yes please! love me some celeb gossip.
Hey Tina! This has nothing to do with this particular post, but yesterday I came across some “non-dairy rice” cream called Carrot Cake and thought of you! It was SO delicious! It has yummy chunks of carrot cake inside that taste like soft gingersnaps and is made by Good Karma.
Tina – how cool that you got to meet KK! I have an old exercise VHS tape of her & Claudia Schiffer that I still do from time to time. Funny, right?
that sounds like such an awesome night!!
I have to tell you I love your blog!! I found it on Kath Eat’s…and it is my new favorite. I really want to start blogging myself. I have a “family blog,” but I would love to do somethign more. I am currently a marketing teacher in NH. I would love any advice you might have!! Good luck with all your new endeavors.
What amazing looking food!!! I am so hungry now. You looked great and very happy!
