From KT – July 17, 2014
Good Morning Fellow Citizens, Teammates, and Others of DaVita HealthCare Partners!
I have to do a quick one, am racing off to day two of the Board meeting.
Yesterday I did email first thing, then off to a day of Board sessions. At the summer meeting we have a tradition of doing a hike in the afternoon, which we did for 80 minutes, with some nice little vertical. We talked business for about half of the hike, the rest was personal catching up which is healthy.
When that was over I went out on a 45 minute mountain bike ride with some substantial vertical, and so I got some very good cardio. It started raining, with thunder and lightning, which made the last 15 minutes more exciting than I wished.
It was a terrible day for MTM however, as my team forgot to ask for extra vegetables at lunch and dinner! So I had a serving of a low value salad at lunch, so it should probably only count as a half serving. And dinner was a small portion of vegetables, with much of it being corn which is low nutritional value, so I would count that as a half serving. Oh wait, the dinner salad had excellent vegetables and was large, so I would get a total of 1.5 servings at dinner. Dessert was fruit with a small amount of some sauce on it, so that would be one serving of fruit.
It was a working dinner, that ended at 9:00 pm. We talked mainly about HCP and International. Also some executive succession issues. Dennis Kogod and Javier Rodriguez were with me with the Board. I had one final meeting for 45 minutes, with Javier and one of the Board members, and then was in bed about 11 pm.
I hope you all had a great Match the Mayor day, I have to run! Be good! Picture the 3000 teammates, locked arm in arm!

Hi KT!
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences via your blog. It’s inspiring. I like that you not only share when you hit the mark, but also when you miss.
I was wondering what foods you eat to sustain your energy through all of the long days packed with meetings and various activities (and sometimes little sleep)?
Thanks for your insight!
Nicole

Mr. Mayor,
Keep up the terrific effort even in the midst of such a heavy week! Yesterday, I spent the morning with the Audit Committee so I didn’t get in any fruit as I do every morning. However, I woke up at 5:00 am and had a fantastic work-out with strength, balance and meditation exercises, which left me quite energized for the Audit Committee nonetheless.
Your time and effort with the MTM journal are much appreciated!

Nicole I am very good at breakfast and lunch. Bkfast is high fiber cereal most of time, perhaps a little organic sausage. Lunch is always chicken or salmon, with vegetables. If I am in denver I always have a little bowl of berries as well. But dinner is where I am 50% good, 30% red meat, and 20% decadent. Yikes! kt
