Pre-Thanksgiving

It's the day before Thanksgiving.  I'm really excited but really worried.  There will be so much temptation.  There has been temptation already today!  A colleague brought in donuts.  Evil!  I am staying away from them - I really don't have a sweet tooth these days, but I don't want to start down a slippery slope.

At lunch we are going to one of those movie theaters that provides full service - meals brought to your seat.  I am hoping to make it through with a Cobb salad.  It should provide enough protein in the chicken and bacon and good fats with the avocado to make it through the rest of the day.

Then there's Thanksgiving.  I am prepared for this!  The smoker is working overtime.  Today I am smoking a pork butt tonight, then tomorrow a beef brisket and, of course, a turkey.  We will have lots of protein for me to munch on, so I stay away from the carbs and sweets.

I don't know what my unofficial weight is now, but I weigh in officially again on Monday evening.  I am hoping for significant progress.

I'm starting to worry now about excess skin.  I wonder if there is anything other than lots of water that I can do to manage this, before I save up for the skin removal?
