Wait, read this http://blog.peterkfitness.com/did-you-make-a-new-years-resolution-wait-read-this/ http://blog.peterkfitness.com/did-you-make-a-new-years-resolution-wait-read-this/#comments Sun, 03 Jan 2010 12:40:35 +0000 Peter K http://blog.peterkfitness.com/did-you-make-a-new-years-resolution-wait-read-this/

Resolutions don’t work. If they did we wouldn’t be making them every year :-) Instead:
• Think of the one thing that would make you happiest if it came true (your vision)
• Decide what one small thing you can do right now toward getting it (action plan)
• Suspend disbelief temporarily (it’s too hard, I’m not smart enough, I’ll try tomorrow. This stops 99% of us)
• Think about your vision every single chance you get (especially when someone tells you, “you can’t”)
• Tell everyone your vision and why you want it to come true (tell people who’ll keep you accountable- mentors)

And remember the most important thing; you’re amazing! Really. If you don’t believe it, no one will.

Be Great,

Peter K MS,PT

Read this to feel better http://blog.peterkfitness.com/plan-on-having-a-few-drinks-this-new-years-eve-read-this-to-feel-better/ http://blog.peterkfitness.com/plan-on-having-a-few-drinks-this-new-years-eve-read-this-to-feel-better/#comments Wed, 30 Dec 2009 18:23:05 +0000 Peter K http://blog.peterkfitness.com/plan-on-having-a-few-drinks-this-new-years-eve-read-this-to-feel-better/

First, enjoy yourself this new years eve. If you plan on having a drink or five :-) don’t beat yourself up about it. Many of my clients worry themselves about an act they haven’t committed yet and then end up not enjoying their indulgent behavior. That’s a recipe for frustration and failure. Just remember that the average glass of wine or hard alcohol has 90 cals while mixed drinks can have 300 to 1000 cals. So decide how much you’ll have while still feeling good, exercise and eat great before the party, and focus on how great 2010 will be for you!

40% of the nutrients in your blood go to your brain. Berries, beans and broccoli make you smarter. Sweets make you simple :-) Choose wisely Einstein!

Don’t let setbacks determine future success.  Many of us look at setbacks as confirmation that it’s just too hard, or not meant to be.  Successful people move forward by looking at any good changes they made and taking action toward their end goal, and doing it better next time. Take 5 minutes to do something great today. Don’t wait for after New Years. You can do it.

Try this
  1. Eat a healthy meal
  2. Drink a huge glass of water
  3. Line up all the tempting holiday food in front of you
  4. Look at it, smell it, touch it
  5. Now walk away (without the food ;-)


Now that’s power and control!

Tis the season for stressing. Hang in there if you’re feeling overwhelmed and weepy. Yes the holidays are about family, love and happiness, but they bring their share of craziness. Do what my client reminded me to do yesterday, SMILE as much as possible, for no good reason:-) Do one great thing a day, exercise for 5 minutes, tell a child what you love most about them. Be Great!

That’s what my client Elana told me while asking for the optimal food options after our session. Now that’s the type of attitude that got her 20 lbs leaner and in the best shape of her life using 5 minutes to Fitness+.
