Moving can be a ton of work. And it's often the kind where most of the tasks you're doing aren't that strenuous in the moment, so it takes a while to realize how hard you've pushed yourself physically.
Do you ever get headaches? Start blaming the coke zero. That is how I cured myself of drinking soda. I never thought I would give up soda, and even when I was off caffeine for a while, I drank caffeine free soda. But I took the notion that the fizzy drinks were making my headaches worse, and suddenly didn't want another sip.
The caffeine, though. And the sore muscles. That made me wonder if one of those caffeinated workout supplements or OTC pain relievers with caffeine like Excedrin might help. Wouldn't hit the spot, maybe, but might be worth a try when you're feeling like ground meat.
The headache association caused me to form an aversion. If I had associated a tooth problem, that might have worked too, because I already want to bite the dental technician every time I am at the dentist. That event is only once or twice a year for me, though, so drinking soda would be causing a problem for a future self of mine, and one who is far enough into the future to feel like a stranger. Do your teeth hurt when you are drinking the soda?
Anyway, I hope you have recovered from the moving pains by now and are enjoying our abode on your own.
Totally sympathise on the aches and strains - we're gearing up to move and spending all hours either packing or painting - lots of lovely hot baths and a real sense of achievement do seem to help, though!

Word on the moving. It's also something where you use lots of muscles you wouldn't necessarily?

Yeah, you're putting specific, and sometimes unusual strains on your body.

...so is this where the younger one moves back in? *ducks* Seriously though congrats on getting your place back. \o/
Lots of athletes drink caffeine while exercising so perhaps your body knows something you don't?

I think it's also going to take a lot of time to wean my body off the addiction.

I let myself have one Coke zero a day. Too much virtue is a vice and coffee really does suck.

I have teeth reasons for wanting to quit soft drink, but wow is the one a day sounding tempting.
