Week Ninety-Six 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 19th: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.

The 20th: 4-mile walk. PT. BD. I fought the cat claw (a parasitic vine), and I won, today anyway. I do realize this is vine comes back and comes back, but I removed most of it from the bush it was devouring.

The 21st: Rest. Cold. Really cold. Not good. Napped in the afternoon because I could not keep my eyes open. Oops. It isn't going to be an easy night.

The 22nd: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD. Woke up every two hours, give or take. Bah. How stressed am I? I've eaten peanut butter and jelly sandwiches 3 nights in a row, and 5 or 6x in the past week. 

The 23rd: PT. BD.

The 24th: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.

The 25th: PT. BD.
