Week 130 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. 
Hip lifts
PT ~ Physical therapy using 2-lb and 1-lb weights, alternating days.
UB ~ Upper body exercises
I've worked up to 50 and then 10 more.

The 13th: 1-mile walk. Woke up with a headache. It worsened on my walk, so I cut my walk short. I took a break. Blessedly, the headache finally eased away by afternoon.

The 14th: 3-mile walk. PT.

The 15th: Rest. 

The 16th: 1-mile walk. SEALp. PT. Though I prefer cold weather, my body doesn't.

The 17th: PT.

The 18th: Walk 2+ miles with BIL's dog. PT.

The 19th: PT.
