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.

5: 1-1/2 mile walk. PT.

6: 1-1/2-mile walk. PT. The humidity was strangling.

7: Rest.

8: PT. No walk due to rain, rain, rain...

9: 1/4 mile walk. PT. I'm sorry, but air is supposed to be breathed not sipped.

10: 1-mile walk. PT. Wow... missed a couple days and my ankle has stiffened.

11: 1/2-mile walk. PT.

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

At last...

All eight books from Desert Breeze Publishing are available in paperback, at Amazon...

Tuesday follow up...

How did I do?

Not so good.

Rain throws me off. I know, excuses, excuses, excuses. I can't explain it. It rains and all I want to do is read and sleep and watch the storm.

I'll start over, today.

Carpe Diem... Richmond...

NASCAR ~ Alas, Carl came in 22nd. Och. However, he's 7th in the Chase. Go Carl!

Working on the current WIP. It will keep me busy.

Reading will be for breaks.

My life is in God's hands. I'm working to place my trust in Jesus.

Thank Goodness It's Sunday... 223...

~ The local power company has been working on power poles in the neighborhood and blessedly we haven't lost power.

~ Turned in Tarnished Knight, the next book in the Endless Possibilities series, on time.

~ Time spent with my sister. My sister calls it Sister Therapy. I like it.

~ All the amazing people who inspire me, all over the world. The internet is a wonderful thing.

~ Dog therapy. :-)

My Heroes... Staff Sgt. Thomas A. Baysore, Jr.

He is listed on Page 2 of my Some Gave All lists. I read each name as I add it to the list. The DoD provides very little information. The Unknown Soldiers blog shared his story. He was a hero in every sense of the word. May God bless his wife and son.
