The diet industry is FULL of supplements, vitamins, shakes, and nutritionals to enhance your fitness journey. I’ve used quite a few products myself and saw their benefits in certain seasons of my life towards meeting my goals at that time. I’m always paying attention to the pros and cons of what’s available and the optimal […]
Weight loss is not about losing weight!
-By Mindy Irish I’ve heard so many people say, “I just don’t lose weight.” Well, no one does! Losing weight doesn’t start with weight loss. It starts with identifying the cause of the unwanted weight. It starts with acknowledging the problem and then making a plan of attack to go after it. This is often […]
Them time, me time, any time left?
-by Mindy Irish (as written in August 2012!) School’s back in session and our new routine is playing out. With that routine comes the daily juggle of kids off to school, kids at home, business balance, workouts, meal planning and tracking, social time, and fun. After my six-week fitness break that I had while I […]
Tricks, Tips, and Ideas!
-by Mindy Irish I recently sat down with a friend to sketch out a master plan to help set some new habits in motion. I always say that if you feel you’ve found gold, then you must not keep it to yourself, but rather share it with others as well! Disclaimer: I have a degree […]
You gotta EAT!
I’m seeing such a common theme going around. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their fitness goals and systems, but it commonly comes up that someone is on a new diet plan and is tracking their food. I love to hear that! Many times people will use My Fitness Pal and over and over […]
Believe in YOU!
Sometimes I’m amazed at how some people think so little of themselves. I was in a group recently and the few gals I was with were talking so negatively of themselves AND it showed through in their body language….shoulders turned in, head down, slumped forward. I just wanted to reach out, hold them square in […]
Just listen {to your body!}
Most of us set out with a plan that is working towards our goals. We put it in action, but then sometimes halfway thru, you realize you need to come up with a Plan B! This week I ran my cardio in a gymnasium at my YMCA. The continuous circular running forced me to […]
A number is just a number!
I admit, I weigh myself daily. Some professionals advise against it, but for me it’s my accountability to see the results of my hard work and the effects of my diet regimen for that day. I also know my body so well I can tell you what my cycle is doing and how it’s impacting my performance as a […]
It takes a sacrifice….Is it worth it?
-by Mindy Irish I was in a conversation with a gal who has been competing for years in Figure competitions. We were talking about the “fitness lifestyle” and she says to me, “It takes a sacrifice to get a transformation.” That really hit me and I had never thought of it like that. I started […]
I’ve learned a lot, but there’s more to learn!
-by Mindy Irish This past week I had the privilege of working with my very first personal trainer, ever ever (I’m just a little excited!) I’m a Team Beachbody Coach and won $1000 in a Shakeology transformation contest for the month of February 2012. I decided to use some of my prize winnings to reinvest […]
