From KT – June 8, 2015
Greetings to the Good People of DaVita !!
Welcome to Match the Mayor VIII. The annual campaign where a few thousand of us band together and help each other in the quest for help. It is 10 pm, I just got home from work, a long day. I have another couple of things to do, and will try to avoid eating a big dessert as a reward.
Let me start by reporting on my results:
- My exercise count is a “no count”. I have been fighting some type of respiratory issue, and I had to cancel my morning workout as I was up coughing for a couple hours in the middle of the night. Poor Denise, my wife, I woke her up also. I started antibiotics today, we will see if that helps. I hate using them if inappropriate, but it has been a few weeks and the trend was negative.
- My produce score was right on! 2 veggie servings with my salmon at lunch, plus one serving of strawberries. 1 serving of black beans for dinner, plus some corn, tomato and lettuce makes 1.5 in total. Putting me over the goal of 5 servings per day was my serving of shredded wheat this am. For you new MTM participants, that is a special Mayor’s rule. Shredded wheat, unfrosted, counts as a vegetable! Rank has its privileges, and all that fiber is good for me, I don’t want to give it up and replace it with fruit.
- I will see if I get 10 minutes of quiet time before I go to bed. I might not given the time.
- My starting weight is 197. I don’t think I did well today on that score.
I am also excited to introduce my MTM traveling companion, Uma Narenjee, from our Malaysia team. She and I are going to help each other hit our goals, as the over 2000 teammates now signed up will help each other. Let’s go Uma …
My day was filled with meetings, on kidney care, healthcare partners, and RX. Tomorrow I fly to Chicago at noon for a meeting and dinner, then back on a late flight after dinner. So it will be a tough scoring day. Oh well …
I wish you all the best. MTM VIII is underway, let’s do it, together! Game on.
One for All & All for One. KT
