But guess who else is?
Sadie sat in the door frame as I hobbled around outside taking pictures of my breakfast this morning. (Gotta take advantage of natural light!)
She usually runs outside, sniffing around our backyard and terrorizing squirrels (something I 100 percent support) while I photograph my meals.
Not today.
Today she watched me from the door frame, debating whether or not to step outside, but ultimately deciding that the warmth from inside was much more enticing.
I braved the cold, but fortunately had a toasty breakfast to warm me up.
Breakfast included a toasted sweet wheat Alternative Bagel, topped with peanut butter and pecan pumpkin butter that I nabbed from Williams-Sonoma a couple of weeks ago.
Recognize my retro Christmas plates? 😉
If you are a bagel lover but aren’t a fan of the oversize and often calorie-dense options typically found in grocery stores, I highly recommend Alternative Bagels. They’re substantial enough to really satisfy a bagel craving and one of the sweet wheat bagels has seven grams of protein! I find them in the bakery section of my local grocery store (Publix).
The toasty bagel really helped warm up my belly!
I was pretty cold after a one-mile walk with Sadie. I left the gym sweaty (30 minutes on the arc trainer + 20 minutes on the ellipical), but walking a mile with the pup allowed all of my sweat to dry and had me feeling even colder than before!
Thank goodness for a warm bagel breakfast! 😀

oh my gosh, how is it possible that i’m jealous of your dog’s sweater?!?! so cute!
peanutbutterfingers says
oh heather you have to see the other side! it’s a gray & pink argyle sweater. 🙂
Laura says
Sadie is adorable! I’m also jealous of her sweater. Too cute!
Can I just say how happy I am to see Williams Sonoma pumpkin butter on your blog? I LOVE that stuff!
peanutbutterfingers says
it’s unreal. i eat it by the spoonful!
Jess says
Aw poor Sadie…so far (day 2 of viszla puppy ownership) little Rush is not a fan of snow at all. He’s so pitiful when I take him out to do his business–although he doesn’t waste any time! I can’t wait till he’s bigger so we can go for walks, because my other dog looooooves the snow.
Arlene @ Adventures in Weight Loss says
Heard you’re getting cold weather in Florida … glad it’s still decent here in northern Arizona.
Sadie is so cute in that sweater!
Anne says
So far our dog has fully embraced the cold. Not bad for a South Carolina girl. I’m interested to see how she responds to snow, though.
Nic says
Looks like Sadie could keep warm right where she is basking in the sun with her sweater. Keep warm and bundle up!
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says
I love her sweater! Do they have “owner” size?
peanutbutterfingers says
This comment just gave me the BEST idea for a gift for Ryan for Christmas… Matching sweaters for him & Sadie… think “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” He’ll die. LOVE it. Thanks for the idea, Tracey!
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says
That would be HILARIOUS. We need a pic here of them side-by-side. 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
If I find a matching sweater set, I’ll definitely post a pic! 🙂
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
Sadie looks too adorable! I can’t get over it!
Hope says
I love that picture of Sadie in her sweater! It is so cute! 🙂
Healthy Chocoholic says
Looks yummy!!!! Where I live, we don’t have those bagels. Are there any other brands that make thin bagels?
peanutbutterfingers says
thomas’ makes bagel thins, but they’re really thin. i love the alternative bagels b/c they’re still thick and have a more bagel-like quality. i’m not sure of any other brands, but if i find any, i’ll follow up with you!

Sadie is so cute. I just had sweatshirts made for my boyfriend and myself with our dog on it (for xmas presents). You can see it here: http://www.cafepress.com/+custom_hooded_sweatshirt,493145527
It certainly was cold here too, 10 degrees this morning with wind chills below zero! I was all wrapped up in Uggs and a down coat!
Christina @ Food.Fun.Fabulous says
I just picked up a new christmas sweater for my pup! I may or may not have also picked up some light up antlers for her as well (not sure if she will keep them on though haha)
annette says
Sadie is so cute! My dog (Loki)hovers at the door too. We were told she lived in FL but how she ended up here in Freezing cold MI I dont know. I’ve been trying to talk my Grandma into making Loki a sweater so she wont be such a wimp:-)
Amanda (Eating Up) says
I need pumpkin butter back in my life. The cranberry apple isn’t cutting it–much too tart for me!
Lisa says
Omg, that dog sweaters adorable! =)
krista says
After a sweat session I end up FREEZING even inside my house once the sweat starts drying. I HATE WINTER!
Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
I HATE being cold! UGH! But December is my favorite month of the year…go figure.
On another note, Sadie’s sweater is extrememly stylish.
Kelly says
I tried to put a Carolina sweater on my doxie for game day and wiggled out of it. He did not like something foreign on his back. I wish he would wear a cute sweater like Sadie!
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) says
Sadie looks so sweet in her sweater! She has nicer clothes than I do! 😛 Must get my dog one of those, although I’m not sure he would like it very much!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I’ve never had the chance to try Alternative Bagels but have wanted to! I know some stores sell them..I’ve just never been able to spot them.
Poor Sadie! At least she’s stylin in that sweater 🙂
Amber K says
I’m a baby in the cold, too! It’s the only time I miss my “heat” (all the weight I’ve lost).
avril says
I think the “I’m not comin’ out there, crazy lady.” was before you bought him dog sweaters. The one he wears should keep him warm, maybe some boots an he can run free in winter:))
