My name is Jessica and I am 28 years old. I live on Long Island with my amazing new(ish) husband (we got married on June 12, 2010), two adorable dogs, and an outdoor cat. We are lucky enough to live in a house previously owned by my late grandparents, which we are continuously renovating and putting our own personal touches on.
Likes: playing volleyball, watching good movies, running, meditating, choosing happiness, laughing, learning, and anything that involves music. <3

I love to read fitness blogs. The first one I became obsessed with was www.HealthyTippingpPoint.com. It made me want to eat cleaner, run more and also start a blog.
I tried the blogging thing for a few months in 2010 while I was trying to lose some weight before my wedding. It didn’t last very long. I think I felt pressure to write longer more in-depth posts about my life and different fitness-related topics, and it turned me off to blogging.
After reading The Happiness Project, I started a one-sentance journal that I keep on my computer. (Even though it always turns out to be more than just once sentance.) I just recount the day and if anything sticks out in my head, I write a sentance or two about it. I find it to be very therapeutic, and since I’m not writing for an audience I don’t have to worry about pleasing them with my content.
Then I realized I shouldn’t be worrying about “pleasing the audience.” I’m not trying to make a living doing this. I am just documenting little bits of my life and putting them out there in case anyone wants to read them.
So, if you are one of those people reading, thank you! 
Feel free to email me at Jessica@FitChickWannabe.com with questions, comments, or just to say hi. I look forward to meeting you!
