Week 152 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. 

PT ~ Physical therapy using 2-lb and 1-lb weights, alternating days.
UB ~ Upper body exercises
I'm starting low, at 10, to restart my workouts, with no weights yet.

16: 1-mile walk. PT. UB.

17: I don't know how far we walked. My sister and I wandered the botanical garden. We enjoyed lunch with a friend and accomplished the weekly grocery shopping. Unfortunately, I discovered my fridge didn't turn on like it should. I lost most of the frozen stuff. I'm looking at it as an opportunity to start over with healthier choices.

18: Rest. 

19: 1-mile walk. PT. UB.

20: 1-mile walk. PT.

21: 1-mile walk. PT. UB.

22: 1-mile walk. PT.

The first picture was taken in February 2012. The second picture was taken in June 2012. Inspiration, at least to me:
