Cookie Monster

I love chocolate. I love cookies. I love treats. It's hard to be 39 & love these things. The older we get the slower our metabolism:(. 
Keeping fit & strong helps this of course, but we still need to be mindful of the types of foods we put into our mouths. 
Ha! "Foods", like anything processed should be called food... Yes it shouldn't, but, Well it is. 
So, being mindful of natural unprocessed foods is key. With that in mind..I am constantly on a quest to find, make or create treats that are yummy & nutritious.
Blend in food processor: 
2c almonds
2tbs sesame seeds
1/3 c shredded coconut

Melt on low-med in pot
2 Tbs coconut oil
1Tbs coco
1/3 c choco chips
2 Tbs raw honey

Add & mix nut mixture. 
Press on foil in 9x13 pan. 
Cool in frig. 
Cut up & serve
Store in frig. 
ENJOY!

Burn 30% more calories, when Aunt Flow visits!!

With the help of my new "Period Tracker App", I've been notified I have 3 days left.   Crap, no wonder my kids can't seam to do anything right. So, Aunt Flow is coming to visit.  Oh, POOOO!.  Well, that explains why I feel my workouts have done nothing for me lately and my kids think I'm mean and off my rocker.  My jeans feel tighter and Paleo is going to pot...candy is calling my name. But, there is hope. Knowledge is power!  Actually, now that I've been warned, I actually feel better.  Well... a little anyway. OK, so here is the skinny on PMS and exercise.  Yes, there is great insight that is very helpful.  Besides the usual: avoid salty foods, drink lots of water, yes exercise, rest, meditate, and take your vitamins and supplements. There is a science to this madness;)  I'll give you a kiss (Keepin It Simple Sweetie). 1- When you are actually menstruating (bleeding 1-7 days), when all you wanna do is wea...

Moms need muscles too!

Muscles keep me sane.   I am a proud mother of 3 active preteen boys.  The daily grind of driving them around, doing laundry, dishes, and vacuuming up popcorn only to repeat it again and again, can be not only mentally exhausting, but physically too.  One thing that has kept me sane over the years is a daily workout.   When the boys were toddlers, I remember them saying, "Mommy you cwabby, you need to go on wun!"   And sure enough all I needed was a little endorphin rush and a hot shower with my favorite body wash. Heck, even a toddler knows basic human nature.  We need to move.  We need to be strong.  Then we will be capable.  Capable of great things. Hello, I'm Nasca, and welcome to my 1st blog post. Please, let me know how being strong and active has helped you cope with life.

Mom's vs. Kids meal

So, way back in the day when I considered getting pregnant; I told Heavenly father "if u send me a girl, I'll most likely send her back. May I please have boys?"  Some of this stemmed from not getting along with my little sister. Not the case anymore, SHE ROCKS! But I'm thinking cause I always thought of my self as the ugly duckling & more of a Tom boy, I'd get along with boys better. I'd know what to do with them :). Well, now I spend my days being surrounded by the cutes boys on the planet. Really they are. Plus all their crazy & cute little friends.  Like the other day they wanna dress in morph suits & want me to take them to Wally mart so they can make videos. Sooooo crazy silly. I love these kids. But them one friend acts a little too crazy & some old fart yells at them to take their masks off, turn off their camera & get out of the store. Some people just don't know how to enjoy life. So sad:(  Next they con me into taking th...
