My new favorite things

I like the idea of doing yoga, I just don't actually like doing it. I get tooo bored. I need to run, wiggle, jump around. I recently discovered a motivation and distraction to get me through the 90 minute yoga video....listening to conference talks. I just mute the video and listen to conference on my ipod. It's a physical and spiritual boost all in one. I've been loving it so much, I started listening to talks while I walk/run, fold laundry, etc. I can't believe I'm saying this...but it's way more enjoyable than listening to music. (I know, I know...call me crazy!). I thought it would be hard to keep a steady (fast) pace without music, but it's actually easier because I'm not thinking about running at all! I figure this way I'll be able to relisten to all of the talks on a weekly basis. I'll probably start digging in the archives though to spice things up.
On a completely different topic, my new favorite snack is dipping apples in cottage cheese with cinnamon swirled in it. It is pretty much amazing! I dare you to try it.

Exhausted

Waking at 6:45 for p90x, riding my bike to and from work, work, cleaning, mass amounts of homework (more like one very demanding essay), decorating, laundry, not enough sleep, and repeat. After trying to maintain that speed the last week and a half, it's no wonder I'm more than a little pooped out, and it's only Monday. I used to be a little fire ball of energy...where has it gone?!
