4/25/11 – Greetings blog readers!
I am happy to report that today was a good day – success! After a touch and go weekend I really wasn’t sure what Monday held for me. My last Monday after chemo was rough to say the least. I didn’t know if I would wake up and still be sick, but I’m happy to report that Mondays are “up” days once again – well, at least this time.
I spent my day working from home. I find that it is best to work from home on Monday’s after chemo just to kind of protect myself in case I don’t feel great. Working at work is tiring. Working at home is much more chill. I prefer to work from work, which is why I will be returning to my half day in the office/half day at home schedule tomorrow.
So, I’ve mentioned how Todd and I are watching what we eat. (Remember? Yet another horrible experience on the dog scale at the oncologists? I hit a new high – literally!) Anyway, I’ve been eating ultra healthy all week. Just to give you an idea, celery and organic peanut butter is splurging! This diet should be compared to a new form of torture. I mean, take Snickers and diet Coke away from a girl on chemo, that’s hard core. But, it does work. I’ve already lost 4 lbs. I guess I can be a little uncomfortable to avoid constant disappointment on the dog scale. Dog scale here I come.
With our diet we are allowed a cheat day once a week. Cheat day!!! Oh my gosh! I cannot wait. Cannot wait! I am going all out. I fully intend to consume a week’s worth of calories all in one day. I may set a world record or something. I’m doin’ it. You can’t stop me. Twinkies, Snickers watch out. I’m hungry and I’m coming for ya!
In all honesty I am looking forward to tomorrow. I’ve already planned out my breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Cupcakes. I’m getting cupcakes. That’s the only real thing that I’m being a stickler about. I have to have something sweet. Todd and I actually went grocery shopping just for tomorrow – how sad is that? Did I mention the chocolate bunny? I got a chocolate bunny yesterday that I plan to eat as soon as I wake up! Holla!
Today has been good. If I could have anything to eat I would like a grilled cheese sandwich. My song of the day is “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele. I heart this song. Love!
Night y’all!
