Written August 2012: It happens to all of us. We get on a roll, we have forward momentum, we get results, and then life pops up and throws us a curve ball. Before we know it, we migrate back to our former ways. I spent most of July renovating a home for my family. At […]
Goals vs. the Scales!
“I want you to gain 10 pounds,” my trainer said to me in October 2012. My first thoughts, “Gain 10 pounds? I just got finished losing 95!” Initially, this was NOT an easy request for me to digest. At the time, I had been on this fitness journey for three years since October 2009. In […]
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 […]
The Power of a Good Night’s Sleep!
We’ve all heard that getting a good night’s sleep does a body good. But I never realized how truly important sleep and regeneration is for seeing progress in the body’s physique. I just never saw the correlation. I used to stay up pretty late at night once the kids were in bed so I could […]
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 […]

I’m Allergic To What?!
A few of my kids have food and environmental allergies and I take them to a lady who practices NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique). I can’t really explain it too well, but it involves holistic practice using accupressure. The gal I see takes common allergens in little viles and can identify what you’re allergic to […]
The Difference IS in the Details!
-by Mindy Irish I met with my trainer Jackie from the Fishers YMCA in Indiana recently and we sketched out a plan of training, diet, and measuring for the next 19 weeks. I have had a long-time goal and dream to train for and compete in Figure competitions. Come April 13, 2013, I will be up […]
Slow it down!
-Mindy Irish I’m nearing close to three years since starting this fitness season of my life. It’s exciting because I feel that each day brings new knowledge about how to better our bodies inside and out. We can look in nearly every corner of the Internet for fitness and wellness advice, sometimes only to get […]
