Day 38: Back and Biceps

I'm glad I have this blog to help me keep track of which day I'm on. Otherwise, I'd probably forget what week it was. Week 6! Again! Well, okay, not really again. But anyway, I'm back on track. Today was day 38, and I did Back and Biceps. I do like that workout, even though I'm still using the bands rather than doing pullups. But I think I'm getting stronger--I can use heavier weights for some of the exercises. Yesterday I did plyo, which was crazy, as usual. My knees still hurt, but the pain doesn't seem to be getting worse, so I guess that's good. My legs are sore today, and they're more sore now than they were this morning. I'll probably be in pain tomorrow.

This weekend was very nice. I was very happy to have an extra day off from work. Not to mention that this weekend was entirely free of tumor board!! It was so nice not having that hanging over my head. On Saturday I did pretty much nothing, which was awesome. Yesterday I went shopping and bought some makeup and clothes, as well as some scented candles and body lotion from Bath and Body Works. That made me happy. :-)

Today I spent most of the afternoon baking. I made lemon cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, and then I made chocolate cherry bars. The cupcakes came out really well. I'm taking them to work tomorrow. The chocolate cherry bars are sort of a fudgy consistency with a pink cherry-flavored icing. I'm pretty sure they came out the way they were supposed to, but they are SO sweet! I cut them into really tiny pieces, and they're still too much for me. I'm going to take some of them to work tomorrow, and if people like them then I'll take the rest on Wednesday. Otherwise I might have to throw them out, unfortunately. I can't handle that much sugar all at once. I'm not sure if it's because I haven't been eating too many sweets lately (thanks to the P90X nutrition guide) or if the bars are just that sweet. But either way, I hope my coworkers eat them because I don't think I can.

I really enjoy baking and cooking, but I don't like doing it for myself. So my coworkers get baked goods every once in a while, and my friends get the occasional dinner. I'm planning a dinner for a couple of friends this Saturday. I'm trying to plan my menu right now. I'm still trying to come up with an appetizer or salad. We'll see how that goes.

You would think I would be ready to go back to work after the long weekend, but no. I really want to take some time off, but considering what my schedule looks like, I don't think I'll be able to do that until November. Oh well.

Anyway, I'm going to watch some TV and then go to bed. I finished Fahrenheit 451, so I'm trying to find another book to read. I'll do that this week. That makes me happy too :-).
