OUT THE DOOR WARRIOR

A HUGE Thank You to Everyone Who Visited my first Post!!  I hope to not let you down with motivational and helpful incite.

As we embark on the second half of the school year for many of us parents, the dreaded alarm and mad rush out the door looms but hours away.  For those without children to chauffeur , I know you are in the same boat with the Holidays over getting  back to work on a NORMAL schedule again.

Time to Prepare tonight.  I know it sounds simple and it is...

1. Make the lunches and make them somewhat healthy.. I know how kids are

2. Plan your own lunch, how about some leftover ham and an orange?

3. Get your clothes laid out for you and your kids.. it only takes a few minutes as opposed to rushing around in the dark and cold of morning trying to find the pair of socks that must be worn with those pants ultimately to find them in the dirty clothes.  You could lose 10 minutes here!!!

4.  Get your bag packed.  Throw your workout clothes in a bag, your new ipad, your water bottle, all those things you spend 10 minutes gathering for yourself EVERY am.  Ask your kids to do the same for themselves.

5.  Lastly, and this is important!  Prep your coffee maker so when you wake up you can stumble to the kitchen, press a button, and make breakfast for yourself or kids while that hot pot of instant energy brews baby~!!!!

Guess what?  You now have an extra 10-20 minutes to stretch your muscles, catch the weather report, have breakfast with the kids. 

I promise this will cut down on a ton of stress, arguments, and avoid starting your day off the completely wrong way.  YES your kids can like you in the morning.

So what if your morning were to actually become boring, predictable, and peaceful before you even got out the door? I say perfect. I will catch up on drama in the drop off line and freeway no doubt!

Get some exercise today or you will become seditary with health complications and have a 40% higher chance of dying in 6 years( if you are 50-80)

BTW.. I do not know these children but they must have a great mom!!

A Mother Warrior Training with Navy SEALS.

Bear with me while I navigate the realms of blogging.  I enjoy a good blog as well as the next modern person but frankly never thought I would embark on this sort of narrative.  I am here doing this in respect to the many folks I have written to over the last several years as a Crossfit Coach, SEALFIT intern, Mother, and Enthusiast of forging an outstanding life.  I am a single mother in Southern California who receives very little help from my children's father.  I also lack family nearby to assist me, but please don't pity me.  I am here to tell you how I am living to the highest, happiest level possible.  I do not deserve congratulations or expect accolades for performing the duties I set before myself either. To pity a mother is to pity a billionaire in my opinion.  I simply want to help any mom or dad out there with some of the techniques I have discovered , practiced, and have found highly successful .

So why blog now?  In August 2013, I became the 11th woman in the World to graduate through KOKORO 29, SEALFIT's civilian simulation of the Navy SEALS Hellweek.  If you plan to see "Lone Survivor", you will see an opening sequence that is actual Navy footage of the real Hellweek .  My experiance completely changed my life, completed a deep life affirming awareness that has left me full of a KOKORO spirit  that I want to share with anyone who wants to listen. I wish to

help anyone who needs direction, wants to better themselves on a deeper level, and craves to get in touch with their inner WARRIOR!
My, beyond amazing, boss SEAL Commander Mark Divine, had one of his books published this week.  WAY OF THE SEAL.  He asked me to contribute a section of my daily scheduling to his publication.  His book is number 5 on the Wall Street Journals today.  He has taught me so much and is my main source of inspiration for writing this blog. 

My next several Blogs will not be of this nature but more instructional on what to eat , things to focus on, ways to save time, and mostly take care of yourself and family.

I hope you enjoy.
