If you’ve been following along for the past month you’ll know I joined a group of friends to complete @caprarunning and @sequoiatrinity challenge to walk, run or hike for 30 minutes per day, everyday in November. Without a treadmill, this became an outdoor challenge for me too. I managed to explore a few little new to me sections of Centennial Park, Dieppe trailway, Irish town Park, Humphrey Brook and the trails along the former Lake Petitcodiac. When the Atlantic bubble... was open I ran the Harvest Moon trail in Wolfville and watched the sunrise at its reservoir trail. I hiked the Shediac outdoors association trails frequently, as well as those closer to home @plageaboiteaubeach, Cormier village, and the beautiful trails that interweave my little neighbourhood. This evening, in Cap-Pele, on my 30/30 I explored a brand new section of trail designed to be used by fat bikes this winter and mountain bikes in summertime. I’m sharing all of this because; -It was fun -It was simple -I have a sense of pride in my simple accomplishment. -There are likely amazing trails close to where you live and/ or work too. The ones I’ve listed were all free, kept clean, quiet and felt safe. I challenge you all to find a trail within 10 minutes of your home, I use the @trailforks app whenever I’m in a new place to help me locate new spots to explore! Enjoy

The office is open tomorrow December 29-Thursday December 31st, during the day, if you need to refill supplements or to arrange your next in-person or virtual visit. I’ll be back next Monday, January 4th. If you’re fortunate enough to have a few days off during this time, enjoy . We’re enjoying lots of walks in the woods with our 10 month old Sheepadoodle , isn’t he the perfect snow pup ?

I’m a hiker disguised as a hunter . Off the beaten path at Irishtown park for my #capra20203030 & @sequoiatrinity 20/30 outdoor movement today. Moncton’s continual improvements to parks is impressive. Lots of variety when it comes to trails and views throughout the city.

That’s the last of the kale, and a few little late broccoli. Gardening is something I romanticize until I’m out there among the thick swarming mosquitoes . I could certainly get used to the fly free late November gardening though. It’ll be green smoothies all around for the rest of the week.

A time to take pause to remember those who fought in war & in peacekeeping efforts. A day to express gratitude for those brave enough to sacrifice their lives for change. A prayer for those soldiers, in parts of the world experiencing unrest, who are fighting now. Hope for continued peace on our soil.

A little late roasting our jack-o-lantern pumpkin seeds, but they are delicious. If you have some seeds waiting in the fridge too, here are some hints I found @salads4lunch blog. Wash them off super well, boiling them for 10 minutes in salted water, sprinkle with salt (I was very generous), drizzle with a little oil (I used olive), then roast at 325 checking every 10 minutes or so, I took mine out after ~65 minutes. These guys are loaded with zinc, are high in fibre, and are a fantastic plant source of protein.

Our healthy-ish ramen bowl organic rice & millet ramen, cooked in @prairienaturals chicken bone broth with avocado, salsa, mushrooms & corn (topped with siracha for some of us). How do you like your ramen?

November tends to be a bit of a slump month, mountain biking is slowing down, snow isn’t here for cross country skiing yet, I jumped into @caprarunning #capra20203030 challenge to run, hike or walk 30 minutes per day, everyday in November. Then along came @sequoiatrinity with some rad swag and a 30 x 30 challenge of their own. Loving all the support and camaraderie, and am totally inspired by all the others posting their challenge pics. As a little extra challenge I’m attempting to explore as many different local trails as possible as I complete my walk/ run/ hikes today was in Barachois by the Historic Church .

Anger, anxiety & agression can all present along with the diagnosis of ADD. Nutritional strategies can focus on supporting both ADD and the common secondary presentations, simultaneously. The more we learn about gut health; what contributes to inflammation, irritation and disruption of our micro-biome, the better we can focus in on potential beneficial nutrients and detrimental metabolites for our overall function.
