Hello All,
As you know I have been very busy working on a new project that will revolutionize the fitness industry, but I also have been working extra hard on making this site a better place for you. Coming Septemeber 26th JessiePavelka.com will be your home for fitness and health. From changing your body to changing your life, you will find it ALL here.
I would like to thank everyone for bearing with me through some pretty demanding times. You have made JessiePavelka.com a great place for people to seek and give solutions and thats what this online community is all about, COMPASSION and COMMUNICATION.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!
Challenge of the day:
When you get home tonight take a good long look at yourself in the mirror, explore your face, your body, think about all you have been through and all you still want out of life. Then look yourself straight in the eyes and ask, "am I doing everything I can to be the person I want to be?"
Let us know what you think!
BE WELL,
Jessie
Hi Jesse my answer is NO and not because I am not trying I am doing my best at the moment but I also know I can do better and the first thing I have to do is make time for ME and stop making excuses to myself as to why I am still as big as I am I know I am the only one who can chenge ME and it is time I started thing about myself instead of putting everyone else in my life before myself.
This is a very tough challenge. We spend years building up walls that represent our limitations due to past failures that cause fear, ego, the list goes on. The most important thing to remember for this challenge is that you stand vulnerable and let down all your walls. Don't let fear get in the way, don't let ego get in the way, just stand there free of everything.
Try this challenge again tonight and let down your walls. Make a list of all the things you want out of life and feel free to share these things. Don't let reality and expectations steer too far in the opposite direction. Remember, you deserve the best. You are a miracle.
Be well,
Jessie
Alright Jessie... I've been thinking about this one. And I think I finally get it. I do know what I want out of life. Doing what I need to do to get it is the challenge. But I'm working on it. I've just got to push myself a little harder. Can I let go of the fear? That would be the miracle. I think I can...
Hi Elisa
Just so you know I think women are notorious for putting everyone around them first. Been there and have done it myself!! Putting yourself first isnt being selfish. If you are unhappy and running around trying to make everybody else happy, you are the only one that will suffer,so don't forget about you!!
I truly believe that to provide great value to those around you then you need to take care of yourself first. It’s the airplane/oxygen metaphor…you must first put on your own oxygen mask before helping others!!
Its not easy and it wont happen overnight. It takes work!! Most of us-especially women-have at some time found ourselves at the bottom of the heap when it comes to taking care of our needs. Some advice to you is get plenty of sleep, eat right and excercise . Try to do some funs things for yourself. Also try to minimize the time you spend with people that drain your energy. And most important learn to say NO!! Yes is probalby automatic for you and you should reserve it for things that are important to you!!!
Good Luck and I hope this helps....
Hi Jessie - Looking forward to what you have planned in September
as for the challenge, i can honestly say No, while I've come quite a long way in the past few months, i know I've still got a a bit further to go, and I'm having a bit of trouble motivating myself to do stuff i know i should really be doing like going out and trying to make new friends, or going the guy as often as I'd like, or even something as simple as eating healthier. But I'm working on it.
Can't wait for the new website, Jessie and to see what you have planned. Great challenge also, btw.
Hey Clay...FYI you didn't answer Jessie's challenge btw :-) Would love to hear your input !
Definitely NO on where I want to be, but also moving toward giving myself a break more, i.e., not beating myself up for taking wrong turns now and again.
Thank you all so much for watching The View. I had an amazing time working with everyone involved, but the best part of all was being able to share the experience with you.
I have been receiving emails asking me when the heck I'm going to be coming out with my own DVD's or product and the answer is, very soon. I have been working my butt off for quite sometime putting together a killer program that everyone will be able to benefit from, all you have to do is wait a few months and I promise you will love it!
Enjoy the weekend and BE WELL!!
Hi all it has been a very busy but energizing week!
Fitness is my passion and I had a great time discussing it on The View with Barbara, Joy, Whoopi, Elisabeth and Sherri (we taped the show on Wednesday). If you missed today's episode you can still watch it online for a limited time. Hopefully I'll get to be on The View again. Did you see it? What did you think?
I will have some very exciting fitness news to share over the next couple months. Enter your email here to be the first to get updates:
I also post from time to time on Facebook (my official page) and Twitter (@JessieIsFitness).
Lastly, here's a photo of me with lucky audience members of The View and their FIRM Wave gifts. Every member of the audience got one. The Wave is a great workout system. For those of you who couldn't be in the audience you can find The Wave online at theFIRMWave.com (2 payments of $29.95 plus shipping)
Almost show time! Please watch The View today on ABC. 11am eastern, 10am central/pacific. Tune in and tell me what you think!

Hello Everyone!
CHECK OUT "THE VIEW" ON FRIDAY I WILL BE
DEMONSTRATING SOME GREAT MOVES YOU CAN DO TO CHANGE YOUR BODY! PLEASE WATCH AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! ENJOY
It takes only 10- 15 minutes of your time and can change the way you look and most importantly FEEL in just a matter of days. You can do it on a treadmill, on a bike, stair climber, outside (around the block), up a hill, in the swimming pool, pretty much what I am trying to say is interval training can be done anywhere (so no excuses).
It's 60 seconds of "all you got" followed by 30-60 seconds of a moderate pace (always make sure you are warm-up before starting). Going from aerobic to anaerobic allows the body to burn more calories in a shorter amount of time and releases all the "feel good" chemicals that can help with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and much more.
In all, if you are a person who just doesn't have the time or focus to sit in the gym all day, try interval training and see how you can reshape your body and possibly your life!
I was going through some of the questions I have been emailed lately and I would say 50% of them involve "hitting a plateau". I feel that this happens all too often, so our solution to the problem is realizing that there is no such thing. We have unlimited resources to ensure that our bodies and minds never hit a plateau, this goes back to my last post of "switching it up". You know how your mind can get bored very easily, well your body can do the same thing. If you have been walking for cardio, start some running/jogging. If you haven't been doing any resistance training, add it in. If you feel like you don't know what else to do (limited knowledge about exercise) ask the questions and gain the knowledge. If you can challenge yourself to think this way you will be amazed at how finding solution is much more rewarding than playing the game of stop and start over and over again.
