After celebrating my friend Lauren’s last weekend in New York City and her upcoming wedding, I was craving a relaxing day.

I slept, without stirring, until 8:45 at which time I woke up, realized Bo had already left for the office, and went back to sleep. I didn’t wake up until 10, when I caught Bo snapping this picture.

Time with cold sheets and soft pillows was exactly what my mind and body wanted.

When I did finally rise, I felt refreshed and rested. These past few weeks have been busy ones and the trend isn’t going to end anytime soon. While I know it isn’t possible to “catch” up on sleep during the weekends it still feels good to get a few extra hours of rest.

Our first task this morning was breakfast as we were both starving! I’ve mentioned on multiple occasions that egg sandwiches are my favorite weekend breakfast; and today was no exception.

  This morning’s egg sandwich included the following:

• Two pieces of toasted Pepperidge Farm Light Bread
• One Eggland’s Best egg over medium
• One slice of turkey bacon broken in half
• salt & pepper

I also enjoyed a sliced banana and cup of tea on the side.

After a quick run and workout, we enjoyed the weather by strolling through Union Square hand in hand. Being in no rush allowed us to literally walk by each vendor, enjoy the breeze, and catch up. As always, there were some interesting sites.

Due to the nice weather, shopping in Whole Foods was a pleasure since the crowds were far less than normal. We were in and out within thirty minutes and ready for a late lunch and The King’s Speech. I threw together leftovers along with a delicious, fresh hunk of Whole Foods whole wheat bread.

Leftover pork tenderloin, corn, and romaine never tasted so delicious! I think it was the barbecue sauce and mustard drizzle that completed this salad.

We’re spending the rest of the evening getting organized for the week as it’s going to be a busy one. Here’s my week and workouts at a glance:
