Y’all really know how to make a girl smile! Thanks for your sweet comments. I’ll admit, I was a little nervous to publicly state all that (even though Rocky, Adam and I have been laughing about our california weight gains forever now!), but once again, your comments have totally blown me away and made me feel even MORE comfortable in my own skin…so thank you! 
On another note, I was having crazy real dreams about cupcakes and frosting last night and woke up starving at 7 am.
Overnight oats with half a banana, dried cherries, cinnamon, almond butter and maple syrup.
Let’s see…what’s on the agenda today. I’m about to go work out right now and then I have some Amazing Grass stuff to work on and some appointments this afternoon. I also need to figure out asap what dessert I’m making for Thanksgiving. Nothing like letting it go to the last minute….

Speaking about weight gain, here’s how NOT to gain weight during the winter! 
I’ve been procrastinating getting ready by g-chatting with Caitlin for the past hour. You know you are chatting with a good friend when she has you laughing hysterically on the other side of the laptop.
up, up and away!

I’ve been dreaming about making cupcakes (really just baking ANYTHING) while I’ve been in Aussie. I can not wait for an oven again!!
I totally dream about food! I’ve definitely been known to wake up with cravings set off by my dreams…
Great article by the way.
So great to hear that you feel comfortable in your own skin
that’s what it’s all about!
You’re beautiful and nothing will change that. The blogging world is here to help you remember that.
i love your refreshingly honest, its ok attitude bc you are still healthy and pretty much dang gorgeous and slim!

Jenna, you are my favorite blogger, hands down. You’re such an inspiration to me as a young woman about to graduate from college in New York City, aspiring to become a food editor and go to culinary school. You’re seriously everything I want to be. I’ve been reading your blog since its beginnings and really admire the way you’ve handled the complete 180 your life has made – you’ve been through a lot over the past year, both good and horrific things – and you’ve come out of it all absolutely shining, inside and out. I think you’re resilient, beautiful, talented and have so many good and exciting things ahead of you. These past few posts totally embodied a certain peace that I think you’ve found within yourself over the last few months, and I’m so happy for and proud of you, as a loyal reader. Bravo, keep inspiring young women!
You have already learned this year that life is too short to sweat the small stuff. 10 lbs is no big deal, and you know what? It looks good on you. You’re happy, you’re living your dream, life is good…as long as you’re still living a healthy life – which you are – who gives a crap what the scale says. Keep living each day to the fullest and enjoy those curves!
I’m so making those overnight oats when I get back from visiting my family! I’ve seen them far too many times on the blog and each time I say “I should really make those” and I never have. Sunday morning, they are mine!
“Get in my belly!” – haha!
love your over night oats!

Jenna, I adore how you’re learning and taking others right along with you. And even more, I adore that you dream about cupcakes.
Hope you had a great day!
Your overnight oats look so yummy. That’s weird! Me too the same night as you, I dreamt about doing cupcakes.
