1-Mile Walk and Talk: The Power of MOMENTUM

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Thank you everyone for all of your messages. I am so humbled by the warm, welcome back wishes, thank you! I'm so excited about what is to come for this beautiful community, and I couldn't be more grateful to you all for being here. Here's to many more sessions together soon!

[@karenl4408]

❤❤❤!

[@kimberlyhook5009]

Great to have you back!

[@nefwaenre]

Oh my gosh Jessica!! After 2 years! How are you? i exercise with you every day (your videos i mean)! You're the reason i got to my desired weight! Been exercising with you for 8 years now! Thank you!!

[@avacadocreampie1391]

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your special peanut. Also excited to see you AGAIN 🙃 Thank you

[@austinamymusic]

🤍🕊🌿 Your courageous vulnerability is a beautiful homage to your sweet Peanut. 🌊💓🐾 Take the gentlest of care.

[@jenniferbond7073]

The took a lot for Jessica do this vid. She is still in the grieving, crying stage in losing Peanut. Mad respect that she let us see her tears and wasn’t just our training but a friend. Love the peanut pillows. I think I can say we are all here for Jessica. I will watch all her vids to support! ❤️ you Jessica!

[@lnix2433]

Glad to see you back! I know Peanut is sorely missed. My sweet canine best friend of 11 1/2 years just crossed the Rainbow bridge last month, so I understand the tears deeply. We can gather strength and momentum together here on KZbin. Love this positive space you’ve created!

[@jessicasmith8887]

Thank you LNix! I'm so very sorry to hear about your sweet pup too.. words can't express how hard it is to have to say goodbye to our little angels. Sending you big hugs! Thank you so much for being here with us.

[@kreativepulp8760]

What a beautiful way to put it - "crossed the rainbow brigde". May you both find peace as your companions have. To be honest, your buddies are in everything entity that you interact. So stay happy. 💐🥰

[@VeggieTart]

@@kreativepulp8760 There's a poem called the Rainbow Bridge about where pets go when they die. You'll have to look it up.

[@beverlyparker2844]

You showed up, Jessica. I know it wasn’t easy. You are here for us and we are here for you. ❤️

[@lourdesrodriguesvas4008]

You broke my heart to hear your voice trembling with sadness. We know we are all there with you. Missing you all this time. And now that you are here, we are so happy to see that you are safe and healthy and teaching us to be healthy physically and mentally with your talking programmes. Thanks a lot for your wonderful work.

[@bethplott7652]

You have the biggest heart and so much grace. 💓☀️

[@shellyshaffer7831]

I cried with you friend ❤️ I’m glad you are back. We are here for you

[@pamelabellino2171]

Welcome back! I am getting back on track with you!! After I finished I went to Amazon and purchased a Peanut Sparkle Tee. You are exactly what I need, 62 years old and not interested in long intense exercise, focusing on my diet more.

[@shelld1261]

Yay you're back! Love you, Jessica. So many of us understand about Peanut. She was such a great addition to the videos and much loved. I wish I could give you a hug.

[@karenswetland2428]

I screamed out loud in excitement to see a new video posted!! This was exactly what I needed-it’s been such a crazy time. I could relate to everything you said. Thank you so much for being there for us❤️

[@Slowlivingindian]

I could not believe when you posted! Lots of love!

[@jessicasmith8887]

Thank you!

[@AngelicaLopez-yi6oy]

THANK YOU!!!!! Your channel was what first got me motivated to workout. I lived in a small studio apartment at the time with my baby dog, Buddy and YOU showed me it was possible to do a great workout in a small space...with a little dog at your feet. :) Thank you for your positivity and sunny bright attitude. I really appreciate you and I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with you!!! Happy Holidays! ☃🎄🥰

[@AngelicaLopez-yi6oy]

And p.s. Peanut ❤Forever!!!

[@anneyeakey3562]

Your bravery and authenticity are inspiring and motivating - as well as your obvious kindness and generosity…..may it come back to you and your loved ones a hundred fold and more! :-)

[@MrsThatsus38474]

I have missed you! I went through physical issues the last 3 years, while being separated. Then, last year I finally got divorced, sold the house and moved across country. I finally got my fascia and muscle strength back and trying to start again after working 2 jobs and being exhausted! Thank you for being here!

[@zethynmckinley3425]

Welcome back! We have all missed you and miss Peanut. You are our motivation!

[@Prairiestar193]

It's so great to have you back. Please be proud of your tears, it shows how much Peanut was loved xx

[@BaharGlbahar]

Welcome back you are the best trainer in the world 🌎 , I am so happy you are back again

[@jessicasmith8887]

Thank you so much, I am so happy to be back :)

[@patasam]

Glad you're back. Totally get the impact of losing your lovely Peanut. Hang in there. We're with you.

[@shree5815]

Warm wishes from India. So happy to have worked out with you today again. Cheers and best wishes for the momentum 👏 Missed you all this time for 5 months. We are with you. Peanut will always be in our memories.

[@keepfitgirl8191]

Great to see you back. Adore your Peanut pillow. We all loved Peanut and understand your grief. Sending hugs from the UK. Emma x

[@victoriawoods3952]

Its been a really tough year. My Mother passed in May, my sister passed in October and my aunt passed away last week. I Loved watching Peanut and her antics...just remember, you don't ( and I won't) ever get "over" the loss, but we can and will get through it! ❤🙏

[@abbyconnors7916]

Jessica, losing a beloved pet is so hard, I'll be thinking of you. Peanut was a sweet, funny, and wonderful dog and we will all miss her. I'm so glad to see you back! So grateful for your help and motivation.

[@maureensioumcas9310]

Thank you Jessica- it was nice to be with you in the new video. My 10 year old dog was laying by me as I walked, thinking of Peanut. I teared up with you as I walked. I have been exercising with you and Peanut for a year in January and have appreciated your expertise and her presence through this journey.

[@maryfrey]

Welcome back, Jessica; you've been greatly missed! Grieving is a process that's different for everyone, so take all the time you need to process such a profound loss. Thank you for sharing your beloved Peanut with us. ❤

[@sheilaknutson703]

So glad to see your sweet face again and I love that you have your Peanut pillow in the workout. I cried with you and I am sending you a virtual hug. I miss Peanut too and so glad that we can still see her in past videos. Stay strong and know you are loved by a huge community!!

[@jessicasmith8887]

Aw, thank you so much for your big hug sweet Sheila! Thank you for being here and for being a part of this. I appreciate you so very much

[@sharondepasquale5505]

So happy to see you back. I know how hard it is to be without Peanut. I lost my precious Belle over a year ago. I still miss her everyday. It has been so hard to be without her. But we have to remember what a great life we gave our fur babies. Peanut was so lucky to have such a loving caring home. And she will always be in your heart.

[@drummyj1]

I happened on this walk and talk when trying to be motivated after losing my dog last weekend after 13 years of her company. Bless you Jessica for your unedited emotional tribute to your Peanut, I have sweated with you on and off for many years and you always bring a smile to my heart xx💖

[@cherylbower2423]

So glad you are back. I pray 🙏 everyday I'll get a little bit easier for you. Thanks for keeping us moving!!

[@JenJthatcrazy8]

Yay! Glad you're back! 🤗🤗 Even though I've still been working out with you. Your workout have helped me be consistent woth walking out. I appreciate you. Just did this walk and it was what I needed. I saw the pillow and couldn't help but smile. She's still with us.

[@sherihemphill54]

I knew I would need one of your Walk and Talks today as they have been my go to when life has got me down. Today marks the one year anniversary that we lost our sweet Bostie, Mojo, and when you spoke about your sweet Peanut, I was crying with you and so wished I could give you a hug, Jessica!

[@loonielaura]

Welcome back Jessica. You have been missed. I thank you for putting yourself out there with this workout and your honesty. I am glad I was able to enjoy the many laughs with Peanut over the last decade of working out with you. My heart continues to sting with all you have been through, like many of us. But, we did it. We took what it takes and got back on track. I started back the beginning of November. This happens to be my recovery week of doing shorter, less intensive workouts so today was perfect timing to release this. Both your words of wisdom and the "something is always better than nothing" walk this morning.

[@venturegirl2331]

Welcome back Jessica! I just love you to pieces and am so happy to see you back. I totally understand the grief you feel over your precious Peanut, I have had the same experience with my kitties. No matter how much time passes, it still makes me cry sometimes. But what a wonderful life we were able to give our fur babies! And we are blessed with so many beautiful memories. Thank you for being real, for sharing your thoughts and feelings with your faithful followers, for helping us to stay on a healthy path.

[@deekayvixen]

Jessica, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Vixen to acute kidney failure in September and I don’t think I’ll ever not cry when I talk about her.

[@MsLindaJayne]

I know how much you miss Peanut. We lost our beautiful Dakota (German Shepard) in December. We were shocked he was in kidney failure and we had to put him to sleep. I understand the tears. Welcome back.

[@lr2564]

I’m crying with you Jessica.those clips of sweet peanut made me bawl. Such a sweet, precious, snoring soul! She helped me through so many dark days when I could barely get out of bed,...I thought to myself I’m gonna go see peanut and did a quick workout. Welcome back Jessica and thank you for being vulnerable. 🥰

[@lysnamarzani726]

Oh, I'm happy to see your face! thank you, thank you, thank you. I love working out with/to you. All the best

[@jessicasmith8887]

Thank you Lysna! I love working out with you too :)

[@shellymoore2924]

Dear Jessica love you and your workouts so much. Sending you all my love as when we said goodbye to our chihuahua 4 years ago it sent us into a bad depressive state only now recovering...but we move on finally with two new sphynx cat fur babies this week .love to you all xxx

[@lisamendheim2675]

How wonderful to see you again! Remember that Peanut will always be with you. While he is a terrible loss, know that you have thousands of people behind you who you are helping everyday. I personally look forward to these W & T videos every evening after my dinner. It’s a great way to digest my food, get some steps in and it ends my day on a positive note. You are truly a blessing to us all. Thank You for all you do to keep us happy, healthy and wise!

[@jilloliver4495]

I am so glad you are back too!! You channel was one of the first that I started working out with about 5 years ago and have really missed you. Thank you for sharing your true self with your community!

[@k.s.obrien9459]

So happy to see you Jessica! You must miss Peanut tremendously, I'm so sorry for your loss 😒 and saying a prayer for healing as you work through grief. 🙏 💕

[@jessicasmith8887]

Thank you so much K.S.! I'm so happy to be here with you :)

[@dannidi99]

You made me healthy-cry with this video. I'm deeply sorry about Peanut. Losing a furbaby is just so hard, and I'm keeping you in my prayers as you live through your grief. I appreciate your openness about your own sorrow; it truly does help to know we're not alone out here as we grieve through our own losses, and to realize that sharing our grief is healthy. I'm also super thankful you're back! Your videos are the only things that motivate me to move more than just walking from the bedroom to the dining-room-turned-office to the sofa after work. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you have done!

[@yoliebieber8791]

Jessica, so so happy to see you back again! I have missed u a lot! And thank u for sharing your tears with us! I personally know what’s like to lose a pet! Is very painful & I still miss him every day, even dream about him a lot! So I know! You are the main trainer for me, and have always motivated me to workout! I have back issues, and your workouts are great, strong but not crazy, I love the low impact cardio & strength! God bless you, and thank you for being there for us, love you and have missed you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💗💗 and Peanut is always with us!

[@donnagarcia6763]

Jessica, you have brought so much to all of us. Full of gratitude, I thank you for always being positive, helpful, inspiring, and real with all of us. We all miss Peanut, and we know how much you loved her. Sending you some love today. We are here for you.

[@bellaolum9768]

It's been a tough time for.many of us. I.lost.my.mum at 82 in 2020 and.my brother last year (2022). All in all, We thank God for the gift of life and health.

[@lorimcannally8053]

Jessica, I don't think I've ever made a comment on any KZbin content before, but I had to today. Thank you for being so open and for not editing out the tears. You not only helped me get steps in during quarantine and working from home, but you also kept my spirits up with your Walk and Talk videos. Thank you for sharing Peanut with us through the years. She will be missed so, so deeply.

[@katiesantos999]

Welcome back, Jessica! It's like being comforted of seeing an old friend again.

[@julesld1019]

I’m back doing your walk and talks after having my appendix removed. My Dr said I could walk and these are perfect. I so look forward to my daily workouts, this has been quite a change for me. I already feel better mentally by doing these. I did get teary ( again) about Peanut. Always in our hearts. Thank you Jessica ❤❤

[@TIERRAYLOMBRICES]

Thank you for coming back we missed you, and I'm sorry about your beatiful angel peanut.

[@Annie-NC]

Thrilled beyond words to have you back with new workout routines! I have been doing so many of the older ones during the pandemic, when you became my favorite workout trainer and I was wondering when we might see you again in real time. Like so many others, I admire you for giving us the unedited version of this video, as we all miss little Peanut and want you to know that we care. I'll be doing all of your new workouts, as they come on line. Thank you, Jessica!!

[@granitemoss1451]

I'm so glad to see you back, Jessica! You're a trooper, as are we all, even if we don't always feel like it. Thanks for encouraging everyone to respect their NOW and do what they reasonably can and to feel about whatever that is.

[@peacesurroundu8333]

She's back! So excited when I saw this. Now I can get through the winter months. The pillow is a lovely reminder of Peanut and her beautiful soul. Much love and peace to you. And thank you.

[@theresaw1117]

I felt Peanut in the room! I have owned many dogs in my 68 years, and there is always that one special one for me it was Rahib. I will always have dogs I now have four litter mates that I rescued at 3 weeks they are now two. Some day I will say goodbye to them but until then I will love them with all my heart and they will give me theirs! So good to see you back can't wait for more!

[@sherifabiani5795]

So glad to see you back, Jessica! And glad to see and hear the love you have for Peanut in your tribute to her. We, too, lost our little puppo (She was 13, but we had her for 11 years, our own little rescue.) and so I can truly understand your heartbreak. I know how much Peanut brightened my workouts, and I miss her, too. Lots of love and huge hugs sent your way! I so appreciate your positive energy and wellness emphasis. Thank you, Jessica! My prayer is for your comfort, reslience, and joy as you continue on.

[@porsharubenaker4855]

It’s so good to have you back! Your upbeat and positive energy is appreciated and inspirational. We are so thankful for you and look forward to your new and upcoming material. When you started to cry about Peanut, I was talking to the TV supporting you with every step. We all love you and Peanut dearly! Sending love and light 😍🥰💜

[@tinalewis5779]

Jessica, my heart still hurts for your loss and I thank you for sharing your emotions. I never stop thinking about my own fur baby, Jessie (2009-2019) and still cry on occasion, with missing her snuggles and kisses 🐾💔🌈🌉

[@C141B]

Yay! This is exactly what I needed this morning! Yes, we'll miss Peanut, but she blessed us while she was here. We honor her memory by Moving On

[@jessicasmith8887]

Yay! So glad we could get moving together this morning, thanks so much for joining me :)

[@taepdap]

Just want to say how much I appreciate your courage and willingness to show vulnerability and not edit your emotions. You and Peanut have been a source of positive energy and happiness for me over the years and I'm grateful and hope that this community can now provide some support for you. So happy to see new content and videos being added! Thank you for all the wonderful activity and exercise options!

[@shellymoore2924]

You are so strong and beautiful. A real inspiration to us all xxxx

[@joannedinsmore37]

Thank you for your openness and warmth, Jessica. My beautiful Golden Retriever Itsi passed last October. I still have the cats, but Itsi was my constant companion for 12 1/2 years. My other two dogs also passed in the three years prior. And my mother. And several friends... And, since I moved back to the US from Mexico 5.5 yrs ago, I have gained 110 lbs from my ideal weight to above where I had ever been. I was lean and strong. Now, I am not. But I recently bought a treadmill and I am on a list from a great and reputable Golden breeder for a puppy. I just requested a standing desk for work. I am trying to take the steps. Seeing this video reminded me about how much I used to enjoy walking with you. I'm glad to be back and am so sorry about Peanut.

[@kathleenpace810]

I just finished this Walk and Talk and it was my favorite so far. It's made me realize how much I've missed walking with you. I haven't been able to walk for well over a year, first do to some serious back, leg and knee pain. Then because of the surgeries I had in 2022 to resolve that pain. The biggest was the spinal fusion and I am still recovering. I can feel myself getting stronger but it's hard to always be motivated when it's so much harder right now to do almost everything. Your message today has inspired me. I am starting slow. I've also been able to go back to the gym but am only doing that 2-3 days per week. Soon the snow will be gone so Daisy and I can get back to our walks! Thank you so much, Jessica. I appreciate all that you do for us!

[@karenk2831]

Just finished our walk and talk. So refreshing!!! And yes i teared up as soon as you started talking about our dear sweet Peanut❤. The pillow is so special! Looking forward to more from you. God bless you Jessica! We are here for you too!

[@sarahlewis4658]

So glad you are back, Jessica. Thank you for your excellence, approachable nature, creativity and hard work over the years. I so appreciate your videos. I am sorry for your loss. I was so happy to see you back with a walking video.

[@GreenPalmsGarden]

Love you Jessica. Missed you as much as you miss Peanut. It was because of you that I began my workout routine. You're so inspirational and you have a calming effect. No other fitness instructor out there can match you. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@peggyrossiter6126]

So glad you are back! It was great doing this video with you! My heart 💔goes out to you on your loss of Peanut! She is greatly missed. Thanks so much!!

[@pretty_things_styling]

Aww... the Peanut pillow! So she's always with us... Thrilled about this new video!

[@maryannebyoga]

Jessica I missed your workouts and missed YOU. You are shining light and inspire so many. I was crying right along with you during this walk, and when you released Peanut's tribute video. So happy you are back ♥️.

[@drummyj1]

To follow from my last message, I'm really excited because I am adopting an older dog next week. Can't wait ! 🐶🐕🐩😁

[@lauriehaggith6297]

So glad your back! I love your walking video's. I love your peanut pillow!!❤

[@joannarathbone8668]

We are so happy that you are back! Peanut was one of the reasons I started following you. You are so inspirational and I love the Walk and Talks. Thank you for being real and vulnerable in this video. I cried with you. Love the pillow of Peanut.

[@jane-margaret3299]

Great to see you back! We feel your pain for Peanut and know we are right here for you too ❤️

[@judyhenderson6969]

Thank you for sharing your heart with us. Praying for healing and wholeness for you as you grieve. I enjoy your videos very much. You have been a great help to me in my weight loss and healthy living journey.

So, so happy you're back Jessica!!! R.I.L. always Peanut🙏🏼❤🙏🏼

[@katierobinson7171]

Hi Jessica… I got teary right along with you while watching this video. Our fur babies are family!! So sorry about Peanut. Very happy though to see you back! Wishing you and your family much joy and happiness!

[@bobear1212]

You're the bomb Jessica! I've been working with you for years and am recently coming off of surgery again. I haven't used the walks for a long time so I was once again reminded of your compassionate professionalism. Thank you for your familiar words and movements. I was also a fitness professional myself and I want you to know that I so deeply feel a commarordari with you. God bless you ☺

[@stefread1155]

JESSICA! I am so so so happy to have you back and this video was exactly what was needed. The topic is timely and I might have had to pause to have a good cry, but it was worth it. Really looking forward to your new content and Peanut will always be here in spirit!

[@andreastoddard8573]

I was SO thrilled to see you back!! Thank you for being so real. 💔

[@jarmilashabani4322]

Oh Jess, I just want to give you a hug xxx thank you for coming back to us. Supper excited to see what future has in store for you xxx

[@made4mordor]

What a beautiful workout and motivational message. I feel so good now, inside and out. Jessica, you are a crown jewel in the world of KZbin.

[@fredericktyson8358]

Welcome back Jessica!!! You were my very first KZbin trainer when I gave up my gym membership in 2015. You’re such a great trainer and motivator!! I shared your pain on the loss of Peanut and you’re so right about what we’re all going through regarding loss over these last few years. Thank you for all that you share with us, mostly your amazing heart❤️ !!

[@loishays2934]

I just did your new video as it popped up next after doing a cardio sculpt workout. WOW Jessica!! You touched my heart and was so inspired by you. You are a great example of a compassionate and encouraging coach to help others. I have always loved your videos with the quotes because they are also inspirational. I am so glad that we can all still have the "Peanut" experience by watching any of your You Tube videos. I am 70 years old and have done so many different videos throughout my life, but after discovering you a few years ago I have never looked back. I love the variety that you have in your videos as I get bored doing the same thing over and over. I look forward to more new videos and of course doing all the different DVD's (of which I have almost all of them) 🥰 Bless you Jessica ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@abramos913]

Thank you for all that you do. Peanut is with all of us. 🥰

[@girlygirl5003]

It's SO nice to see you back on KZbin. I have been working out with your videos (both KZbin and DVD) for years. In fact, one of my Christmas gifts was your 8-week DVD set. Sweet Peanut was the same age as my dog. We've all lost a pet and know how dear they are. They are truly a member of the family. I hope walking with everyone who watches will bring you some peace and comfort :).

[@marxusalvatierra1913]

Thanks!!!!everyone was waiting for you!!!really cry with you when mentioning little Peanut. Thanks for being with us again💖

[@dwilliams21]

So good to see you again, Jessica! *hugs* Your previously-recorded vids have been really helpful in this "getting back on track" season of my life. I'm happy to keep visiting Peanut in those older vids. She's still a great cheerleader!

[@brandiefrederick258]

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙Sending bear hugs your way! SO happy you are getting back in the groove. You got this!!!!

[@airva21901]

Love to see your workout videos again! And love the pillow on the chair, reminding of Peanut

[@golddjlr]

I am so sorry to hear about Peanut. My cat Lucky died in June of 2021 so I know how you feel. I hope you have many happy memories of Peanut. Thank you for sharing this with us. We need to hold each other up.

[@krystlewright4252]

I'm so very very very glad to see this channel uploading again!!!

[@honestangel2]

Oh my gosh...I am so sorry. Losing a dear pet is as difficult as losing a close family member. I'm sure Peanut would want you to continue on. Thank you for what you do. I love all of your videos. I also have some of your DVDs and I always tell everyone I know that I highly recommend your programs.

[@cherylcosgrove511]

Jesssica you’ve been so missed❤️thanks for returning !

[@lydiajohn77]

Hi Jessica! I was only able to check out this video today and just felt compelled to show my support and to keep sending you love and light after all you've been through. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to do this video and I just want to say that Peanut was so incredibly blessed to have you. Every pet should be so lucky to have had such a loving family and home. You gave Peanut all the best you had to give and I'm so sure she is still loving you, wherever she is. This is my first week back to exercise since recovering from covid. It is so good to be back sweating with you. You have given us so much and we are all so grateful and blessed to know you through this channel. That's how I feel. Just before falling ill with covid, I was also on my 2nd round of your Lift & Shift programme, which had become such a tremendous source of strength and energy for me. It may be a little too much for me at this time, but I'm also on my renewed momentum journey, myself, so I hope to get back to Lift & Shift soon enough. Thank you for everything you do and I wish you continued healing and success in everything you do 🤗🤗🤗

[@Ksukeduc]

Hi Jessica and JessicaSmithTV friends! I have been walking with you all on and off for about five years! I have been walking consistently with you all for this last year while I have been participating with two virtual wellness programs: Hinge Health (for back and neck strength) and Wondr Health (for weight loss and food mindset changes). I am proud to say that I have lost 32 pounds and counting, and more importantly, I am feeling great! While I have been a subscriber and a walker for the last five years, I have truly grown to love some special things about this channel. Jessica, your approach to the Walk n Talk series is so engaging; I enjoy the learning and the moving combination as it keeps me truly motivated to continue. Further, watching Peanut over the last five years has "given" me a pooch again. My pups have all passed on, and my heart goes out to you and your family as you continue to celebrate Peanut's wonderful life. Seeing you be so vulnerable as to talk about her on this "Momentum" video was so heartwarming; I am proud of you! (I know you always tell us, so I figured it'd be nice for you to hear it, too!) Further, I like that your videos don't reflect some unattainable reality. You, and sometimes your mom, look "normal" or "typical" and look healthy; you don't look like body-building machines or flesh and bone robots. Thank you for continuing to inspire and educate us on the values of being healthy. To that end, I'd like to make a suggestion for a Walk n Talk topic. Can we discuss how negative relationships with food develop and explore strategies to change that? While I am not sure if you are a RDN or not, I am not asking you to talk about food science. I am suggesting just talking about how we don't listen to our bodies, but instead listen to our emotions very often when it comes to food. Like in the "nature lessons" Walk n Talk video, you said, "My body is telling me to eat pizza and watch Netflix. But is it really?" Changing this mindset has been the greatest win for me over the last ten months, and I think folks in this community might appreciate it, too! I wish you a very happy, healthy, and safe holiday season, everyone! Thank you again, Jessica, for uploading two new videos in the last two weeks; I so look forward to more! Kathy :)

[@mcandsc2024]

I am so happy that you are back! I am really sorry for the loss of Peanut. I know the feeling too well. I lost a 17 year old border collie mix in 2016 and then our lab mix in 2018 was so unexpected. And when you do not have kids, it's an extra kind of hurt. Sending many hugs and all sorts of positivity your way. Thank you so much for the videos that you post!! ❤❤🐾🐾

[@mariafos4554]

I was so happy to see your video pop up, that I took the blanket off, got off the sofa and joined you for the walk right away. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, take care xxx

[@karenl4408]

Hi Jessica! Working out with you today was like reuniting with a beloved friend! Thank you for sharing your heart. And your words of encouragement were exactly what I needed to hear. Small steps are what I'm working on now, and I truly appreciate your wisdom and thoughtful approach. Welcome back!

[@sandyloesch503]

Glad you are back!!!! Was so excited to see a new video posted. I know it has been hard with the loss of your little buddy, but you have always been such a motivator to all of us. We can not work out without you, because You are the best! Thanks Jessica for keeping us moving, no matter what level we are at. Looking forward to all your new workouts!!!!!!!

[@tlump5689]

Thanks so much for this! Not only did I need the exercise, but needed the talk about momentum and reminder to start small. So glad you are back!
