I’m so jealous of your pumpkin mess!

I would love to find a good BBQ sauce as well. I love country bob’s all purpose sauce but it’s kind of high in the bad stuff.

Hey J! I love you and you’re adorable. Loved your thoughts on comparison. So sad, but so true–we all do it! If you’re looking for a good BBQ sauce, mu absolute favorite one is from Sunflower Market, their spicy barbecue. I don’t know if you have one of those where you are. Happy friday! xoxo

Wow Jenna, you are so motivated and I feed off your energy! I love your training plan, and your goals. I think you are so realistic and you are so real and honesty. Great idea with the opening statement too, I think that was important.

I’m glad you are happy where you are, and with how you feel and look. You are so good to yourself, keep up the great work, and I’ll keep feeding off of you. I plan on getting into better shape soon, simply because I’m bored with my same workouts everyday, I need a change!

What I do that is UNHEALTHY is compare myself to myself. If I run 5 one day and the next am bone tired, I feel unaccomplished and weak. That is just as bad. Thank you for posting about your natural dissapointments. I recently gained a few pounds, which I wanted, and thought “I am doing something wrong!” isn’t that crazy? Yes, and yes…but our shared stories challenge these thoughts. THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for posting this! Both one of my best friends and I are pretty thin (we’re both runners), and we’ve always had the same conversation about how we feel the other looks “smaller,” when in reality we have the exact same BMI, she’s just taller than me. I do compare myself to women subconsciously, but it’s something I’m definitely working on. I want to be happy with myself all the time, not only when I’m standing next to someone fatter/shorter/flatter chested.

I’d love a running watch too! I’ve heard the best things about the Garmins.

Great post I agree- a lot of people fall into the comparison trap and their image of themselves/others is totally skewed. Congrats on getting stronger- fueling those muscles is important!

I have a Garmin and I’m obsessed with it. It has a heart rate monitor, GPS, speed, and a million other features that I don’t use haha

Your little girl is so cute!!!! And what a great great post. It is so true that we are too hard on ourselves and that we should be lifting each other up instead of feeling bad for ourselves and comparing. Awesome post!
