From KT – June 19, 2015

Good Evening Teammates/Citizens of the DaVita Village,

It is Friday night, I am on a plane heading to Europe.  Half pleasure, half business.  Sorry for the long gap, you will understand in a few minutes.

We got into Seattle after midnight, traveled to hotel, got to bed at  1:30 or something.  It was a productive flight, we worked right until the landing.  Up at 7:15 to go for a bit of a run, but after 20 minutes I pulled a muscle in my calf.  Darn!  Had to walk back.  Not fulfilling.

Had fiber for breakfast, ½ serving only.  And a banana, so that is a serving right?  Lunch was salmon but only 1 serving of veggies.  We got on a plane at 4 pm, so landed in Denver about 7:15.  I had a conference call once I landed, and then got to my mom’s nursing home about 8 pm.  We spent 45 minutes together, and then I took my younger sister out to dinner to catch up on her life.  It was an Italian restaurant, and I only had ½ serving of veggies.  I should have asked for some special dish to get more.  Oh well.

I did some work after dinner, and did 90% of my packing for Europe.  On Friday I had my shredded wheat produce, and headed in for a day with interviews for VP of Marketing for HCP, plus an internal special projects person, as well as a compliance meeting and a lunch with the CEO of a competitor.  I left the office to get to a chiropractor at 5:30, the latest time – great thing with new technology is I was able to do conference calls until the last minute.  I had to see one, my body was definitely out of alignment, that is part of why running did not work out.  He did some adjustments as well as some dry needling.  Anyone else had dry needling?  I have had about 10 sessions, it can feel pretty bizarre.

Then I headed home and got in a workout before leaving for the airport.  I was up too late on Thursday to get up early yet again, and I needed sleep to try to kill this cough.  It is getting better, as I am living a healthier life this week than last week.  My workout was 26 minutes on the bike, medium intensity (I remind you that medium still leave me dripping with sweat in the end), plus 15 minutes of stretching and strength stuff.   Made me feel much better about the 13 hours of travel coming up.  The good news about overseas plane flights is I get amazing amounts of work done!

Sadly, my weight was 197.4 this morning.  That was a surprise, I thought I would hold even.

I hope you are all doing well in living a healthier life, building new habits in our shared 6 week adventure!

One for All, KT
