Week Ninety-Five of REAL...

REAL - Reduce stress Exercise Adequate sleep Lower caloric intake

What Navy SEALs are required to do to make it into BUD/S:
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 M/W/F and 1-lb weight T/Th/S.
UB ~ Upper body exercises
BD ~ Belly dancing (my version of it, anyway)

The 12th: 3-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.

The 13th: 3-mile walk. PT. BD.

The 14th: Rest.

The 15th: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.

The 16th: PT. BD.

The 17th: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.

The 18th: PT. BD.

It's noticeable to other people I'm losing weight. I haven't stepped on a scale in months. I don't miss it. My clothes are fitting differently. A few clothes have been removed from my closet. My fitness is improving.
