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 (SEALp) consist of girls' pushups, crunches, and flutter kicks, a SEAL training basic. I started with doing one of each. I've worked up to 50.

PT ~ Physical therapy, using 2-lb weights on Mon, Wed, and Fri, and 1-lb weights Tue, Thu, and Sat.

UB ~ Upper body exercises

BD ~ Belly dancing (my version of it, anyway)

February:

The 8th: SEALp. 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.

The 9th: 2-mile walk. PT. BD.

The 10th: Rest.

The 11th: SEALp. 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.

The 12th: PT. BD.

The 13th: SEALp. 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.

Breakfast: Lemon, chicken pasta and cake.

Lunch: Two eggs, yolk no whites (I'm trying an experiment. I've never cared for egg whites but always like the yolks. I tested positive for allergies on tests that didn't separate yolks from whites. I wanted to see if I could eat eggs if I only ate the yolk. I did enjoy eating it.) Toast. Cake and milk.

Dinner: A couple of fresh-bakes Rhodes Rolls, with a bit of butter. Carnation Instant Breakfast (yes, it's what's for dinner) and 6 Dove Promises (a serving, according to the package).

My tummy seems to be fine from the eggs. Hmmm... what do you know.

The 14th: PT. BD. Happy Valentine's Day!
