Unpredictable Times

Kristina Perestegi — Sun, 11 Oct 2020 17:20:25 +0000

We’re living in “unpredictable times”… but haven’t we always been living in “unpredictable times” – even before COVID?

When have we ever been able to predict tomorrow, or even two minutes from now?

If I live my life telling myself to NOT take action due to the unpredictable times, I would not be where I am today.

Life is about being able to sit in the unpredictable and being ok with it.

I’ve learned that the thing I can predict, however – is my choices.

If I had let unpredictability keep me from pursuing this career (living my dreams), I would’ve never succeeded or even be here talking with you now because I would’ve never come out of my shell or have attempted to take the first step.

Be careful of the words you say because they’re a direct reflection of what you believe is possible for yourself.

What words do you say to yourself about yourself?

If you allow “unpredictable times” aka fear – to keep you from doing what you want to do then it’ll hold you back from any other possible outcome.

Not just today during “these times” but every day.

So how do you predict the future?

How do you get comfortable with the unknown?

During times of uncertainty, I remind myself

“The only way to predict the future is to create it.”

I hope you take that with you and use it.
Bet on YOURSELF, every time.
Trust in yourself.
And no matter what happens in life – know that you can create any outcome if you allow yourself to believe you can.

You’ve got this !!!!

Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s start again: The calories you are burning during your workout don’t actually matter ⁣
⁣
ESPECIALLY if you’re just going to eat like afterwards, or you are trying to “make up “ for yesterday, or you are trying to “earn” the right to eat like anyway. ⁣
⁣
Listen, doing tons of CARDIO is about the worst way to out-door un-do or whatever you think doing a lot of it is “helping” you do. It’s more of a time suck than it is a fat burner ⁣
⁣
Skeptic: Ok, fat loss expert, share your wisdom because I’m stuck as f*ck?!⁣
⁣
Doing LESS (with intention) is going to feel so nice, you’ll probably drop several pounds within a few weeks & be feeling so good, you’ll WISH you had listened to the expert sooner. ⁣
⁣
The calories your body burns at REST are really all that matter because you’re burning more of them than you are during the hours you’re exhausting yourself in the gym. ⁣
⁣
If you REALLY want to tap into your body’s fat stores and become a fat-burning machine, you’ll pick heavy weights & go for more walks than you do runs, aka spend less time “trying” to burn the calories your body knows it’s going to burn anyway. ⁣
⁣
Work smarter, not longer. I’ll leave it there.

There’s no such thing as a summer body, but these arms are ready to come out and playyyyy hahah kidding, kinda. I’m obvi 100% flexing but setting a goal to have this bad boy pop without squeezing my hand like someones about to draw blood. (if you’re new around here my goal in life is to own a palm tree and have arm muscles…and today, I get to introduce you to my tricep and I’m stupid excited about it)

Are you an arm or leg goal person?!

Stop waiting!

Today is the youngest you will ever be again!
Stop WISHING for things to be different this year and DO SOMETHING today to make a change. 1 tiny step is all it takes to start making your life what you want it to be.
I’ve sat in despair feeling frozen many times and know firsthand that nothing changes magically without first stepping in the right direction with PURPOSE.
Find your goal & take a step. Are you eliminating negativity? Losing weight? Want to FEEL healthy by July? Starting a business?
Don’t let the world convince you that you are too old, too inexperienced, have too much weight too lose, don’t have what it takes…YOU DO.

Working mom

Kristina Perestegi — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 21:45:34 +0000

When you’re a mom, it feels like a never-ending fight. When you’re a working mom, it’s Mission: Impossible.
Let me explain.
You track your diet. You work out as much as your schedule allows, but yet and still, your body holds onto the extra pounds like magnets to a refrigerator. Sounds familiar?!!
After months (and I do mean MONTHS) of working out, tracking calories, and drinking ONLY WATER, you have lost only about five or six pounds?!
“You need to work out more.”
“You need to get more rest.”
“You need to stop stressing.”
Gee, really?! THANKS, Captain Obvious!!!!
As a busy, working mom of 2 girls, I know how hard it is!
We all know by now that maintaining an active lifestyle should be one of our top priorities in life. Only by taking care of ourselves do we stand a chance of being the kind of person we strive to be on the job, at home with our loved ones, and in our communities.
But let me tell you a secret in a few days I will have something special for you! Its time to make your health priority!!!!!

Fitness lifestyle…

Kristina Perestegi — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 21:06:38 +0000

Making the leap into fitness can be a pretty tough one. When you start lifting, a lot of things change. Like your lifestyle, your mindset about the scale, and even the people around you. Fitness is hard enough on its own, but it’s even harder when the people around you are unsupportive.
Most of us have a hard time getting support from our significant other, let alone be fortunate enough to have an entire support system.
So how do you get through it? I won’t lie, it is absolute gold when the people around you support your lifestyle, or at the very least don’t try to tear you down for it.
You can’t change the people around you, but you can change how you cope with them.
Families, especially when you’re super close to them can be soooo unsupportive. Most of the time they mean well. They love you and hate seeing you not “enjoying yourself” by eating all the food at a gathering. You might lose some weight and they tell you that you’re getting “too skinny” or that your muscles are “too much.” Maybe they even put you down because you’re the “big one” out of the rest of them.
All of this can really f… with your head. This is your family. The people that are supposed to love you unconditionally. And here they are on you for trying to better yourself.
In this situation, you really only have a couple of options and that talks to them or ignores it. I always try to talk things out first, sometimes they don’t even realize they are being unsupportive or how it is affecting you. Other times, it’s just the way they are. Older relatives and parents especially– you can’t change them. You just have to adjust your mindset to the understanding that they don’t get it. If you keep doing what you’re doing they might see it someday, and if they don’t, that’s just something you will need to accept.
As much as I hate to jump to jealousy, this tends to be the case when it comes to friendships. People hate to feel like you are surpassing them on some level or another. A lot of friendships are complacent and comfortable, and you’re generally seen as equals. So what happens when one piece of the equal pie starts to better themselves? The other person starts to feel it. They might look at you and feel like you think you are better than them. Your newfound healthiness might shine a light on their unhealthiness and an insecurity explosion may ensue. Rather than use you as inspiration to get better themselves, they may try to get you back on their level by making rude comments or trying to aid you in sabotaging your progress.
As as it is, this is something that happens. You can try talking to them and including them like the significant other section above, or you may need to allow the two of you to simply drift apart. A lot of friends are lost on fitness journeys because you are elevating yourself and quite possibly growing out of friendship.
You have goals, and you can’t let anyone, no matter how close you are to them, stop you. You are bettering yourself, improving your health, your life, your mind, and your body by embarking on this journey. Don’t let unsupportive or ignorant people keep you from that.
And if you have no one? Sometimes that’s even better. You may not have anyone to support you– but you don’t have anyone to drag you down either. At the end of the day, you’re the only one who can accomplish your goals. When you can make shit happen without support, you’ve already proven to yourself you can do it, so when you do have it– it’s simply a bonus.

Be your own kind of beautiful!

Be your own kind of beautiful !

Do whatever you want. Be whatever you want. It’s starting by letting go of the fear of the judgment of others. You stop living your life and living the life of others. For others. You will never know what you are capable of until you do it. Try it. Experience it. But remember this, NEVER change what makes you happy to fit in, to be accepted. Always stay true to who you are. Don’t be ashamed of who you are. Be proud of what makes you, YOU. SHOW it. OWN it. Be unapologetically you ALWAYS!
