Please join me (and Peanut!) for our latest installment of our “1-Mile Walk n’ Talk” series. Today we’re talking all about how to [really!] begin loving and appreciating your body as it is right now, not just when you ____ [insert goal here]. It’s not an easy thing, but if we can begin to focus on our self talk and truly begin the process of self acceptance, it can be an important step in any healthy lifestyle journey. We can still be grateful for what we already have while still working for what we would like to create in terms of our health, our bodies and our life in general.
If you need a boost of motivation or a dose of inspiration, join us for this basic, indoor walking session anytime – rain or shine!

How many steps do you think in this video? Roughly?
I absolutely enjoy these sessions of Walk and Talk. It's just wonderful to get your motivational narration to get me through a slump, and keep on moving. Please continue with this series.
Thank you! This is just what I needed to hear today. Thank you for making a difference for so many people.
This is such a super reminder of what is “important”. Count your blessings every day but make your blessings count really resonated with me this morning as this is Mile 5 on my 10k challenge. I did 4 miles on Saturday but it has been such a busy few days I am finishing my last few miles today. I am grateful for my energy and I am going to make that energy “count” by donating to The SPCA and Typhoon Mangkut relief in the Philippines once I have finished my 6.3 miles. 1.3 miles to go….. see you at another walk and talk😀
Thanks! I've been really down about my weight gain after having 3 children, all under six. You asked us to say one thing we're grateful for today about our bodies. I'm grateful that my body has been able to nurture, give birth, and nourish three babies despite my being an older mom (44 now). And that I'm still in good heart shape despite the 50 extra pounds.
One step at a time…anyone watching and reading this, you are ready to take steps to appreciate yourself as you are. You are so worth it. I love what Jessica said and I’d like to add that positive affirmations are a good place to start. Louise Hay has great ones about everything including our body image. Positive affirmations can help us learn healthy loving thoughts to replace the harmful things we have learned to think about ourselves. Meditation is also a powerful tool to help calm the mind and body. I use YouTube for both.
Whoever is reading this I am sending you love and light and I hold a space of faith, knowing that you are on a path leading to beautiful things ❤️
Nice talk. I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel
Real help as I downsize
Hey 🙂 what i appreciate about my body is that it is fully functional and takes me from one day to the other. The force within is burning and its getting brighter with exercise and makes me more and more aware of my body, and thats much thanks for videos like this. Im also glad that i can swim, thats something im really glad for. Thanks for this video and peace to all <3
whenever i am sad abt my appearance i come to this video
Another great walk….thanks so much and have a great xmas holiday everyone 🙏💕🐾
Grateful that my body is still flexible enough to do these videos. Thanks Jessica!
I so appreciate these walks! Thank you for all you do. You are so encouraging and positive but keep it real.
Thank you, Jessica! I just found this walk and talk series yesterday. Such a great idea to just get up and move a little. I was thinking about the topic and realized, I'm 43, I don't think I have much to improve on! Little things, small goals, but mostly maintenance. We're not getting any younger! Just taking care of myself, eating healthy foods, trying new recipes, and keeping my body strong.
Have you talked about keeping up motivation and plateaus. Thanks for everything!
I have been working out with Jessica for about 1 year now. This is an easier walk. But, the inspiration to keep going is much needed! ❤
Thankful for sunshine today 😊
I am becoming addicted to your videos! Thank you for everything !
I had an injurty two weeks ago. I was upset at first, that my body encountered this strange and painful situation that appeared totally random. I had to stop and let my body rest, I had to care for myself instead of constantly being on the go. And you know what? I'm better. Not all the way, but better. Here I am two weeks later easing back into workouts with this walk and talk about loving my body. I will get back to the tougher stuff, but right now, I'm grateful that it only took two weeks to mostly recover and get back into things. That's what I love about my body, and not be mad at it for taking me down for a couple of weeks. Thank you, Jessica~
Really appreciate the teacher shoutout @8:07 . You are teaching too! Keep up the positivity, you're awesome Jessica. 😀
I like these talks but is Peanut alive?? 🙂 I've never seen him move!!
