What a wonderful day. It started with a great workout. Yes, I even go to the gym on holidays. I earned this cool activity badge pin my Watch, and finished a great leg workout.
Next was all the food prep. We did a hybrid bird this year. Part bird, part pig. Yes, bacon-wrapped turkey. That was not a lot of work, but the bacon taste was not as strong as I expected. It was very moist, and really good.

Apple’s Thanksgiving Day Activity Badge 2019
After a great feast with family, we took a long walk along the Miami River. The temperature was in the 30’s, but a nice walk. I think we did near 3.5 miles.
I took this photo of this great blue heron with my phone. It’s not as good as a photo as I could have taken with my DSLR due to the distance, but not bad.
I wanted to comment about the food. In previous years, I would have fallen asleep after lunch. A low carb lifestyle resolves that issue. I had a lot of good fat, and some protein, but very low carbs. It was all tasty. In the past, I blamed the post meal sleep on the tryptophan in the turkey. Well, guess what ... that was a lie. It was the carbs.
Have a great weekend.
