"ITS TIME WE REALIZE THAT FOOD IS A FORM OF HEALTHCARE" ~

CONGRATULATIONS to my first born, and my "one and only son" on completing his MASTERS IN CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY at the University of Manitoba!!! Such an amazing accomplishment, and, equally impressive as this incredible achievement, are your solid ethics of HARD WORK, DEDICATED, & ORGANIZATION! You have a way of making your achievements look easy, but Bobby, I know there is nothing further from the truth. CONGRATULATIONS, son, on this well deserved achievement! Dad and I are so proud of you and what you have worked so hard to attain! On to your PhD - we're right here by your side, cheering you on every step of the way! Love you so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sue's TOP 6 THANKSGIVING "MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES"!!!🦃🍂🎃

There are bound to be a few extra indulgences this weekend! Here are a few tips to help you keep (mostly) on track with your goals :

1. HYDRATE!!! Staying well hydrated will be key to help flush any extra calories, for detoxification, and, often thirst is mistaken for hunger! Also, alternating one alcoholic drink with one water (or sparkling water!) will help keep alcohol consumption a little more moderate (because that can quickly add up to a LOT of extra empty calories!!!)
2. HIIT WORKOUT BEFORE THE GATHERING!!! This will create AFTERBURN 🔥🔥🔥, so your body will be more likely to BURN the extra calories consumed, as opposed to storing them as bodyfat! (Watch for my NEW 20 minute HIIT SESSION this weekend on my YouTube Channel - Sue McHardy!)
3. EAT LIGHTER ON THE DAY OF THE GATHERING! Save some of your daily calorie budget for the big meal!
4. MOVE YOUR BODY!!! Stay ACTIVE as much as possible this weekend to help offset the extra calories. Bonus points if you take a family walk after the big dinner!!! This will help BRING YOUR BLOOD SUGAR DOWN!!!
5. Enjoy a few of your favorite things IN MODERATION!!! Watch portion sizes. Eat until you're 80% full only!
6. MOVE FORWARD!!! One larger meal isn't going to completely kill your progress. Just get back on track the next day-- consider fasting the next day until noon, take a nice walk and drink LOTS of water the next day to help FLUSH!!!

Which strategies are YOU going to try this weekend?? HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!💪🎃♥️

FALL RECIPE ALERT!!!🍁🍁🍁🎃🎃🎃

One of my favorite recipes of ALL TIME (and that is saying a LOT!): PUMPKIN PALEO LOAF!!!🎃

In a large bowl, mix:
• 1 cup Almond Flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp each ground nutmeg and ginger
• 1/2 tsp each baking powder and baking soda
• 1/4 tsp unrefined Sea Salt

In a second large bowl, mix:
• 2 free range, organic eggs
• 1/2 cup Almond Butter
• 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
• 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Raw Apple Cider Vinegar

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and spread into a prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with a few dark chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or pepitas (optional). Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

I usually make 2-3 loaves at a time - it will freeze well, and it's always nice to have a healthy treat to pull out in a pinch!

This super easy, moist, DELICIOUS recipe makes an excellent HEALTHY SNACK, or a great dessert to bring to a Thanksgiving gathering!🍁 Bon Appetit!!!💪😋♥️
