When I spoke with Dee Dee on the way home from work, we decided that we would swim after dinner. I've gotten spoiled working from home. Finding the time to swim during the week is going to be a challenge.
Despite the finals of The Great American Sing-off, we were in the pool by 8 PM. I got busy with my warm up while Dee Dee was still in the changing room. She walked out on deck looking quite flustered. She couldn't get the old swim cap she brought over her head, and she'd left her goggles at home. Eventually, she prevailed, and we got our workouts done. I wrote Dee Dee's work out, a series of 25 meter lengths of the pool with drill and and a kick set. My own was 1400 yards of warm up, drill, 100s, a kick set and a cool down. I felt pretty good. Definitely felt the shoulders, but nothing I could not handle.
I've also been watering myself from the inside. Step one in my nutrition plan is to get my hydration under control. I bought myself one of those 32 oz. Rubber Maid drinking bottles. I have a sneaking suspicion that I have been living in a perpetual dehydrated state for years now, and alcohol has been contributing to my state of perpetual dryness. It makes some sense. My craving for beer in the evenings can probably be contributed somewhat to my body's being thirsty.
Just another piece of the puzzle in a never ending quest for answers....

I keep a one liter water bottle at my desk and fill it up like three times a day at work. Seeing it right in front of my helps remind me to drink up.
Until one really starts "measuring" how much water they are consuming, you really have no clue!
Nice workout!
now i'm thirsty for beer. thanks for that.
I find staying hydrated to be rather tricky. I do better at work than at home, oddly. Good luck figuring that piece out...
The water bottle in a good idea! And nice job on all the swimming!
So Diet Coke doesn't count as staying hydrated???
That's an easy puzzle piece, dehydration! Merry Christmas to my Weslicious.
Nice job getting those workouts in during this crazy week of festivities.
Have a great holiday!!!
And you get to live on the toilet because you're peeing all the time. But beer tastes better..I'm feeling the after affects right now.
I can definitely relate! I crave diet coke though.
Merry Christmas!
I feel a lot better when I drink enough but wow do I have to pee a lot when I do!
Nothing like drinking...and drinking..and more drinking.
