Your Best Body 12-Week Challenge, Week 10!
Cut It Out! -by Mindy Irish This week in class an instructor challenged us to find at least one item that was really tripping us up and cut it out of our lives for a few days (to start!). That “it” item will be different for each person. Maybe it’s sugar, coffee, caffeine, pop, salt, […]
Your Best Body 12-Week Challenge, Week Nine!

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 […]
