Breakfast 1

Around 7:00 AM, my stomach knew that it was time for breakfast. I had some pineapple Chobani mixed with pumpkin granola.

I enjoyed breakfast while catching up with emails and my Google Reader, which was at 1,059! Even after 30 minutes of blog-reading, I’m still so behind! 😕

Mal woke up a few hours later and offered to make breakfast. I wasn’t starving, but I could eat. 😉

Breakfast 2

Mal threw some Eggland’s Best eggs on the stove and toasted some bread.

Ten minutes later, we sat down to a lovely Saturday morning breakfast. The second one of the day for me!

Eggland’s Best makes some good eggs! I had no idea!

It’s a good thing that I ate 2 breakfasts this morning because a good 7 hours past before I ate another meal. I’m still sort of surprised I went that long without eating. It almost never happens!

After breakfast, we drove about an hour to our hometown, where we had some work done on my car and made a special delivery to my mom. Then, we headed to the pet supply store to buy Murphy some food and other goodies.

One of the the employees at the store fell in love with Murph and gave him a bunch of treats. Murphy showed-off his “sit,” “down,” and “stay” skills. He’s so smart! 😀

After spending some time at the pet store, we headed to Target to purchase all sorts of stuff for our apartment, including cleaning supplies and a new mirror for our dining room.

As expect, Target was a madhouse on Saturday afternoon!

While at Target, I found the BEST Halloween costume for Murphy! Wouldn’t he be so adorable as a lobster??? I almost bought it for him, but then I remembered my new budget. But, if Grandma Dona or Grandma Marion want to buy it for Murphy, I’m sure he’d love it! 😉

After Target, we stopped at CVS to print some photos of Murphy to frame in our apartment.

And, then, we went grocery shopping. The combination of not eating lunch and food shopping made both Mal and me incredibly hungry, so we added a couple of snacks to our shopping cart. I’m sure you can guess who picked which bar.

Workout

After running all of our errands, Mal and I threw on our workout clothes and headed to the gym before it closed for the day. I did 60 minutes on the elliptical, followed by 15 minutes of abs.

For my elliptical workout, I used an interval mix from MotionTraxx called “Drop a Jeans Size Workout ”˜09 – Interval #3.” It was a 30-minute cardio machine workout that was perfect for an elliptical. (I just started the mix from the beginning to extend my workout.) The intervals and corresponding music pushed me to work hard. It was great!

Dinner

For dinner tonight, I reheated some leftover pizza that Mal bought last night. The pizza had a ton of toppings on it– pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, mushrooms, and onions. Delish! And filing!
