From KT – August 6
Good Morning DaVitans !
In my language, DaVita applies to the entire enterprise. The DaVita enterprise is made up of DaVita Kidney Care, DaVita HealthCare Partners, DaVita Rx, DaVita International, and Paladina. Or you can refer to the different businesses as just KC, HCP, RX, Intl, and Paladina.
Portugal is the international leader in participation, with 9 teammates! Poland is in second place with 5.
As of a couple days ago I was performing at the 91st %tile, although I don’t know how much my Wisconsin cottage sojourn will bring it down.
This morning (Wednesday) I started with a big orange, along with my organic sausage. Village Vitality told me I had a reporting gap on Saturday exercise, Village Vitality I did 26 minutes on the lifecycle with modest intensity and then 7 minutes of stretching stuff.
Last night I had 1.5 servings of broccoli and cauliflower with dinner, and then 3 great hot dogs made from the meat of the steer my niece raised, and won a 4H FFA (future farmers of America) award with. They were great, I have to ask her to ship some to Colorado. My Tuesday lunch was a strong and big one , a cup of berries (straw, rasp, blue, and black or boisen I forget which is which), and 2 full servings of broccoli and cauliflower with my chicken. My Tuesday breakfast had the normal high fiber cereal.
Did I already report my glorious run thru the woods yesterday? 45 minutes, including the 2 hill sprints at the end. I had to ice my left knee at the end, and take 2 advil, but it was glorious!
Today I started with a 60 minute phone call with the lead director of the Board, then turned to email and some planning work. I will do calls from 11 am to 1 pm then do my exercise and enjoy freedom in the latter half of the afternoon. probably will do some brush clearing, and then have my mom and sister and niece over for grilling some steaks and corn on the cob.
One of my calls will be an update on our European and Saudi Arabia operations, especially the big ramp-up in Saudi. Yikes.
I hope all 3600 of you, including 185 friends and family, are having a good day of Colorful Choices!
One for All,
KT

KT – I love how you use the word “glorious”. Not an adjective you hear often. My family and I were visiting my brother in Denver last week and spent a day in the mountains. My 6 year old son used that adjective (not sure where he heard it) and I had to laugh.
I had previously written that my boys were participating in MTM with me this year. Wanted to give an update that we have all definitely increased our produce consumption. My 11 year old is also very cognizant of needing a variety of colors. He was gone to a 2 week overnight camp and worried about whether he’d be able to get all his servings in. Amazingly he stayed focused and was successful most days, although some days he only had 2 or 3 colors 🙂
Thanks again DaVita for hosting MTM and encouraging us all to focus on our health!

Went from eating like a quirrel (a lot of nuts) to eating now like a rabbit! A loss of 13 lbs complete 🙂 I do not see where to record excercise this year or a map to run on?? Where did this go?

KT – It was great to see that how you clearly defined about DaVita Enterprise and it’s various arms or divisions. I have been successfully adding 7 or more colorful choices to my daily food and feeling great about myself ….

Suzanne – This year’s Match the Mayor Colorful Choices program focuses on the nutrition aspect of living healthy, however particpants were welcome to set additional personal goals such as exercise even thought the program does not provide a tracking mechanism for the personal goals. We hope you enjoyed Match the Mayor!
