Steam Your Veggies

Steaming your vegetables in a small amount of water rather than boiling them until they are gray helps retain essential nutrients. Steamed Vegetables are also really great side dishes for any meal with or without adding anything to them. But if you would like to add a little something to kick it up keep reading.
Try adding a pinch of salt to your steamed vegetables. Not too much though you do not want to worry about your blood pressure later on. A little lemon or lime mixed in with your broccoli gives it a feel of summer.
Add a little honey and cinnamon to carrots. doing so makes you feel as though you are eating baked sweet potatoes without having to got to all of that trouble. Chicken or vegetable stock added to your vegetables is wonderful try sauteing up a bit of onion and garlic add this to the stock, throw in some green beans. Oh so good!

Thank you Brooke for your great topic suggestion!

When you care less about what others think about you, and more about how you think about yourself, then you are on the road to true happiness.

Get Running with Your Smart Phone

Get Running was the very first app I started with. I love this app! It is so easy to use. The get running program gets you in your shoes and running a 5k in 9 weeks. The trainer's voice is really pleasant and encouraging. Yes, you can create a music playlist to listen to while running. 
If you choose to run with your phone I would suggest an armband or you can load this program onto an iPod touch. It still requires an armband but is less bulky on your arm.

I purchased this through the iTunes app store; click here for the link.

I have a few more apps up my sleeve. Some were good, some not so much... Stay tuned!

So put on your shoes and try running!
