This year has been messed up.  First the galbladder came out unexpectedly which ruined my training trip to Florida, followed by a shoulder injury to my "good" arm. 

The next 5 months that followed have been ups and downs at best.  The bad shoulder became the good, and the good was the bad.  Both.

Gains I made on bench were pushed back again.  The shoulder pain has been fairly constant and this has meant extremely broken sleep, and pushing to get only the minimum.

This story isn't without good news though.  The foot is feeling much better, and I've been back to the treadmill off and on.

The past week, I've been sleeping like a rockstar though! I feel a hundred times better, partly thanks to Tylenol at bedtime, but I believe also thanks to what might be a lucky combination of "stuff" in my protein smoothie, which comes thanks to a fellow Freetrainer whose name I don't know, but I'm pretty sure she covered all the vowels.


Anyway, off to spin class and more improvements to follow.  I'm out of this crap-ass slump that's dogged me since the spring!!
