Swimming is Ouchy

I forget if I mentioned this here before, so I'll just mention it again, because I'm lazy like that.  After I finished physical therapy for my lat/rhomboid injury, I started noticing more rotator cuff pain.  Wop wop, cue the sad music.  Now that it is a new year for my Flexible Spending Account, I am going to call up my shoulder dude and go see him again about it.  I am!  I promise!

 All of that to say, I went swimming last night, and now I'm a wee bit sore.  I'm afraid I might have irritated my shoulder a little bit more.  DAMN IT!  I haven't been swimming in forever - just fell out of the habit, really - and I did some laps tonight and remembered that I freaking LOVE the pool.  Like I am going to marry it and have 10,000 of its babies, like I'm a spider.

Sorry, that was a little much, even for me.

Anyway! Gym.  Loved it.  Swimming is a great workout, great for confusing ye olde muscles.  I felt like I accomplished my goal of upping my gym intensity last night!  Speaking of which, I was just talking about how as you get more fit, you need to switch up your workout more, and one of my gurus just posted a blog about it.  Go see what Alfonso from Angry Trainer Fitness has to say about it!  It's not just me talking crazy over here - or maybe it is, but at least that bit wasn't all nonsense.

And, finally, a little diet Coke update: I only had 4 cans yesterday.  That might be a lot to a normal person, but it's nothing for me!  WOOT!  I'm consciously reaching for tea rather than diet Coke and I'm also finding myself just wanting more water.  WIERD.  I'd love to get down to 1 can a day, maybe even less?!?!?!   I can't believe I'm writing that, but the money I'd save is a really good incentive.  Funny how it's always been the case that drinking less diet Coke would save me money, but only now am I hungry enough (so to speak, ha!) that it is motivating me to cut down.  Curious.
