It was my longest walk in several years. I wore a knee brace and did okay, but I worry that I may be further damaging my knee in my effort to lose enough weight to qualify for knee surgery. Pretty scenery, though!

I’ll have tiny amounts of the naughty stuff and bring modest amounts home to John. But besides the turkey for us, I’m cooking rutabagas and Syracuse salt potatoes for the pot luck. (I’ll have a few bites of each.) So it’s going to be a semi low carb, hybrid-sourced Thanksgiving. Should be fun!

12 hours from now I’ll attempt to cook a turkey roast in an air fryer. Wish me luck!
This year’s Thanksgiving dinner will be different anyway, because I’m not going to sacrifice my 76 pound weight loss (and counting) to stuffing & gravy & pie. St. Michael’s is having a pot luck, so… 2/3

What I’m doing: Ozempic; a high protein low carb regimen with careful attention to specific nutrients; and exercise, currently shooting for about 2 hours a day. I’m working around knee pain as best I can. Progress!

Tucson, Arizona. Not the most dramatic, but not bad.
