Working on My FitJess

changed the way I looked at working out at home. Before, I felt “alone.” Now, I have a community. 2020 taught me community is EVERYTHING. Isolated antelopes get eaten. But those that run in packs have safety in numbers.

Shoutout to for getting my days off to a great start and guiding me through rides and runs and walks. Together we are better. ❤️

If you liked the leggings that I shared earlier on my story, you can grab a pair for yourself — before they’re gone! 🛒 ➡️ https://savvi.com/jessleighborden

I felt compelled to share this amazing brand I discovered, because so many of you are journeying along with me! Bonus: New items are launched every week 🗓 !!

And then there were ((over)) 100!! 🎉🎉🎉 I can’t even describe how thankful I am to have over 100 of you joining in my journey. From the blog views & follows to the kind messages & comments, this tribe of positivity and encouragement is something that means so much to me.

I am grateful for each of you. 👏🏻

I like to look at “self care” like this:

If you’ve flown on an airplane, the flight attendant will tell you before takeoff that if the plane looses cabin pressure (albeit unlikely) that oxygen masks will drop. Do you remember what they tell you next?? They tell you to put the mask on yourself before you help others.

😱 See, if you don’t take care of your mental health, your physical health and your emotional health, you can’t show up for other people at your best.

New blog post is up on this topic. It’s something that I am really passionate about. I hope you’ll give it a read. ❤️ Link in bio.

It seems that in today's world, people celebrate the "hustle." You see this everywhere. Social media is the greatest source causing us to glorify this lifestyle of "hustle." Bikini-clad women standing next to exotic cars are not going to convince me that if I just work a little harder, I can have what they have. This is a myth....

“In a world full of hate, be a light.” -

Our country feels so broken. These people hate those people, and those people hate other people. It breaks my heart.

Love > Hate.

We have to remember that. ❤️ Praying that whatever darkness is creeping into your corner of the world will be illuminated by your light.

Whatever it is, do it. ❤️ New blog post is up!! Isn’t it time you let that dream start taking shape into reality?!?

There is something inside you that makes your heart leap. It could be a little tiny dream or a great big plan. Regardless, it is something that you want so badly that it hurts, but for one reason or another, you have neglected to do it. That is not coming from any level of judgement, but rather from a place of hope and encouragement....

Tried 2 recipes today. Breakfast was grapes & homemade 2-ingredient drop biscuits {well, they were drop biscuits b/c the dough wouldn’t roll 😂} & lunch was a easy chia seed flatbread pizza & apple slices. I love creating née ways to eat foods I love {aka all the bread} without ALL the bread. I’ll put these up on the blog later this weekend!

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! We did it! We made it through 2020! Let's just hope that the Mayans weren't dyslexic and get 2012 mistaken for 2021! Since, it is a "brand new start" today, I wanted to share a few of my fitness favorites with you. I know that this is usually "resolution" time or as I like to say, "goal-setting and strategy time."

You may have immediately thought of the glam-metal song by Europe, or you may have no idea who Europe is (to which I will bestow this gloriousness upon you for making me feel old). You may also have immediately thought "thank the heavens that 2020 is in its final hours." Despite this year's general vibe of awfulness, I challenge you to take a few moments to reflect on what the challenges you faced this year taught you....

Are you surviving or thriving? I’ve spent WAY too much time surviving - just defaulting into a schedule that was controlling me. Ugh, that feels icky to admit. You should make your schedule with intention, or your schedule will make you... tired, overwhelmed, sick, unhappy... insert whatever “yuckyism” you relate to. I’ve made myself a daily list of things that I know I must do to really THRIVE. I’ll post to my stories. For now, here’s an amazing easy 5 things to do to THRIVE by the incomparable . Don’t you think it’s time to stop just surviving and start living your best life?

Whatever it is you are striving for, don’t quit. Keep going!! Loved this post by . I think it speaks to you, no matter where you are in the journey. ❤️

If not now, THEN WHEN? One of the most simple and poignant questions I have ever processed. is a huge inspiration to me, and this question comes straight from “Girl, Stop Apologizing.” If you haven’t read it, run don’t walk to get a copy!! It’s one of my favs. 📖
