I’m not really a fan of consequences but unfortunately we always have to pay them. Right now, I’m facing the consequences of an amazing weekend!
I enjoyed a redeeming 9 miler run to kick the weekend off on the right foot!
Brunch Critic helped us start the party early on Saturday.
I checked another item off my NYC bucket list.
This weekend was definitely one for the record books, but I think the amount of activity left my body drained!
Even though I slept for eight hours last night, dragging my body out of bed at 5:45 was not very easy. My throat was sore, my nose was running, and I was sporting the sexy man voice. But, regardless of how I felt, I’m proud to say that I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and tweeted my false excitement before I could go back to bed.
By 8am Sara and I had enjoyed our first Bikram Spin class and I’d wished her best of luck on the first day of this new, amazing chapter in her life! You should wish her congrats too as she started a great, very deserved new job!
What is a bikram spin class? Well, it’s nothing more than an awesome Dave M spin class (which I’ve raved about here and here) that is taught in sweltering temperatures due to the lack of air movement in the corner. Needless to say, we now know why those bikes were still available yesterday when we signed up. Unlike Sara, I was thankful for the extra sweat today as it left me feeling a bit lighter and as if the residual alcohol had finally left my body!
The rest of the day was focused on getting back to basics that leave me feeling refreshed, satiated, and fueled to combat the aggravating cold that has come back with a vengeance.

Now, even though it’s only 7:45, I’m curling up in bed to get some much needed sleep.
Until tomorrow, I leave you with this awesome video featuring Caitlin’s awesome movement, Operation Beautiful! I’m so proud of everything she has done over the past two years and even had the opportunity to cheer her on when she was on the Today Show this summer with Tina and some of my favorite blogger friends!

Looks like a fabulously fun weekend!
Thanks Elizabeth, we had so much fun!
It’s amazing how much my body will just crave rest and vegetables after a weekend like this. But totally worth it! It looks like you had an absolute blast.
Amen! I’ve been craving salads, fruit, and cereal!
