What Navy SEALs are required to do to make it into BUD/S:http://navyseal.s5.com/requirements.html

RIght up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. So my SEAL puppy reps consist of girls' pushups, crunches, and flutter kicks, a SEAL training basic. I started with doing one of each. I've worked up to 33 and working at slowing it down.

For a while, I'm going to try and keep track of my weight only when it goes down. It's too easy to start from the new higher weight.

The 28th: SEAL puppy rep. I didn't even bother to weigh. My sleeping is weird. My hormones are a mess. 

The 29th: Two-mile walk with my sister.

The 30th: Trying to keep my head above water.

The 1st: SEAL puppy rep. Short walk. SEAL puppy rep.

The 2nd: Not doing well, exercise wise.

The 3rd: Weight isn't going up, but not going down either.

The 4th: I'm easing back into my routines. Not quite there, yet, but headed there.
