Wishlist Wednesday

Another Wishlist Wednesday... more things I can't justify purchasing right now but can't help lusting for.









 Jack Rogers Monogrammed Sandals - with my new (and improved) monogram, of course.


 If anyone would like to buy things for me, I'll love you forever! :)

Manic Monday

Boy, was today a doozy.

I got to work only to wipe out outside of my office infront of some of our physical plant workers, then I had interviews all morning long and forgot to eat my breakfast, so I went to re-heat some vanilla orange pancakes and dropped them on the steps on the way back to my office - butter side down, of course.

But, I roped two co-workers into going to Subway with me and it was a very theraputic time :) I missed so much while I was gone - they were able to fill me in on everything. Work was crazy hectic all afternoon but I got a workout in, had a good meeting with my MBA Finance group, and am getting some much needed laundry done.

Getting back into shape is tough - especially since I feel like I can't shake this cough - so tonight was only an OK workout, although it was better than nothing!

I was on the treadmill for about 30 minutes. I did intervals like this:
0:00 - 4:59 - 1%  incline, 4 mph (15 min mile)
5:00-9:00 - 1% incline, 5.5 mph (11 min mile)
9:01-9:15 - 1% incline, 4 mph
9:15-9:45 - 1% incline, 2 mph (30 min mile)
9:45-9:59 - 1% incline, 4 mph
10:00-14:00 - 1% incline, 6 mph (10 minute mile)
14:01-14:15 - 1% incline, 4 mph
14:15-14:45 - 1% incline, 2 mph (30 min mile)
14:45-14:59 - 1% incline, 4 mph
15:00-19:00 - 1% incline, 5.5 mph
19:01-19:15 - 1% incline, 4 mph
19:15-19:45 - 1% incline, 2 mph (30 min mile)
19:45-19:59 - 1% incline, 4 mph
20:00 - 25:00 - 1% incline, 6.5 mph (A 9:10 min mile or so... ish...)
25:01 - 30:00 - 1% incline, 2 mph

Then I did 5 sets of abs, 45 seconds on, 15 seconds off, and got a good stretch in.



Here's to getting another workout in tomorrow afternoon! (And wearing my new Marley Lilly tank didn't hurt!)

Hope everyone has a great Monday.

My Life in Instagram


On Sunday, Logan and I cuddled on the bed and talked about everything - it was so nice to just sit and TALK with him. And of course, the kitten cuddles didn't hurt either. Cosette was knocked out in the crook of my knee.


Logan got to meet Maggie May - the newest addition to the Gumpman household. Is it awful that this picture makes me so excited to have a family with this man one day?! He's just going to be the most perfect father.


Logan missed the first batch of the peanut butter cookies I made, so of course I cranked out a second batch with plenty to take back with him for road snacks.


I was lucky enough to meet an accepted applicant and her family for brunch on Friday - this place has been featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives and it did NOT disappoint!


I had a fair on Thursday night in Jacksonville and this was our hospitality gift - I ate all mine before the fair began - whoops! (Chocolate covered popcorn is the worlds most perfect salty and sweet mix!)


Cooked dinner with my Aunt and Uncle -- Hard Cider, Barbecue Chicken, and homemade mac and cheese hit the spot! Sitting pool side with temps in the mid-70s and talking wedding with my family was the cherry on top.


My fair this morning was great but I was tuckered out -- the coffee was much needed when I had 4 hours of appointments on the books for my Saturday.

Home tomorrow! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Follow me on instagram at username cgump!

XX!
