Lazy Bones
I haven't really done anything over the past week. A couple of times I did push ups and sit up but I haven't lifted any weights and I haven't gone walking. It's been 8 days since I last posted and I haven't had a single cigarette since. For alot of people quitting is very difficult, and there were a few times when I wanted to just go take a puff but once I decided I wasn't going to smoke at all or cheat I haven't really been all that tempted. I still think about it but it's not as bad as it was the first day. So, I think after 2 years I'll be able to quit smoking cold turkey.

In my other journal I've made a few posts about joining the military. Obviously, I'm way out of shape and in my current condition that's not possible. So, I'm modifying my fitness goal to reflect my long term goal of joining the Navy. These are the Navy fitness requirements for women between the ages of 20-24:

145 lbs maximum (for a 5'2 female)
58 Sit Ups
21 Push Ups
1.5 Mile Run in 14:15 mins
500 Yard Swim in 13:50 mins
450 M Swim in 13:05 mins

In my current condition
186 lbs.
30 sit ups
15 push ups

I don't have a pool so I can't practice my swimming but back in the day I was pretty good at it. I figure if I can get meet the neccessary time for the 1.5 mile I can probably meet the swim time so I'm not going to seek out a pool to practice in. Tomorrow morning I will start jogging which will probably be a lot easier since I quit smoking.
