Running Music

So lately all I have been doing is running. Yes, just running. I wanted to make my running habits a little more fun. Okay,  lets not kid ourselves its so I don't lack so much. (I have a half in less than two months!) I asked a friend to go running with me on Wednesday's. This is our second time doing it and I really enjoy it. Sometimes I'll make excuses to not run so this really motivates me to stay on track. While running I came up with an idea to get more people to run or help them reach their weight loss goals. I hope I can create this group or event on facebook sometime soon. I would really love to help others reaching their goals. It also leads up to my lifetime goal I want to do in my lifetime.


Lately I have been overly obsessed with Queens of the Stone Age. The plus side I consider their music the best running music ever!!! I made a little playlist of just few song that would be enjoyable if you are running. I love music that has loud drumming and guitar when I'm running. It gets me pumped!

Playlist

I have yet to hear all of their music so I am sure I will add more to this playlist.

Run into you later, Leslie! (:

5k Color Run

 My best friend and I did a 5k color run. I was so excited to finally do one because everyone kept raving about them all summer long. I mean come'on! You run and by the end of the race you become a rainbow. (bonus!) Where's the unicorn?! As much fun all the running and the coloring seems. It wasn't so much fun. Overall, I think everyone who gets a chance to do one should! Just to get it out of your system plus who doesn't like great photos you can post on facebook?! Here are my great photos! 

This past weekend I purchased two cameras! GO PRO and Canon!! I have a few projects up my sleeve on how I want to incorporate them with my running! Stay tuned!

Last thing, I wanted to share is this video because its so inspirational! I love watching videos just like these because its part of my movement I want to create! Never give up! You can accomplish anything you set your mind on! :)

Run into you later, Leslie! (:

Homemade Chicken Tenders

This week I learned how to make REAL chicken tenders! It's so simple! I couldn't believe I had not learned how to make these! I am always trying to find new ways to cook healthier versions of my favorite foods but I really wouldn't call this "healthy eating". It's just a better version that doesn't contain so much grease or sodium like the restaurants chicken tenders. You only need 4 ingredients plus water. That's it!

Chicken Breast (cut into long thin strips)

1 or 2 cups of Flour ( I actually used whole wheat flour and they were still delicious!)

1 1/2 tablespoon of seasoned salt (You can try any type of seasoning. I'm going to try lemon pepper next time!)

1 cup of vegetable oil

2 cups of water 

Heat frying pan with vegetable oil for about 4-5 minutes under low-medium heat. Mix the flour and seasoned salt in one bowl and place water in another bowl. Once you have all your chicken cut into strips, dip the chicken into the water bowl, then dip into the flour bowl but repeat the process two times. So, dip the chicken again into the water bowl (briefly, dont soak it in) and back into the flour bowl. (You can do it three times if you want them a little more crispy!) So now you are ready to fry! Place chicken in the oil. Let them simmer and fry for about 4-5 minutes or until well cooked. 

Here are a few photos I took of my process

Run into you later, Leslie. (:
