Goal for the Day

Add 1,000 words to Christmas Lost. It's been a long time since I've added a thousand words in one day. It's time to up my game, again. I want to finish this book. I have to start somewhere.

REAL Week 414

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.  Since my accident I haven't done these, but I'm working to add them back into my routine.

PT ~ Physical therapy
UB ~ Upper body exercises

TBR

51. Yours Truly (The Homespun Collection) by Sharon Gillenwater Western romance

52. Country Kiss (The Homespun Collection) by Sharon Gillenwater Western romance

53. Lord of the Storm (The Coalition Rebellion Book 1) by Justine Davis Sci-Fi romance. There are some steamy scenes. The story that kept me turning pages. Justine is one of my favorite storytellers. She has some amazing insights. I don't have permission to share quotes.

54. Skypirate (The Coalition Rebellion Book 2) by Justine Davis Sci-Fi romance. Steamy scenes. The continuing story that kept me turning pages. Each book focuses on three different couples.

55. The Kingbird (The Coalition Rebellion novella between Book 2 and 3) by Justine Davis Sci-Fi romance. This novella is a pleasant interlude between 2 and 3.
Yes, the white dot is the moon.
