From KT – July 23, 2011
Dear Teammates!
It is a GLORIOUS summer day up in the Colorado mountains. And I honored the day, and my body, by doing 5, count’em 5 hours of biking. I know the exact amount because I bought one of those Garmin’s you connect to your bike – it only counts the time when the bike is moving, it stops during all stops. 70 miles. Quite flat, a total of about 6,500 vertical feet. Many beautiful views. Also a sore rear end. In addition I strained my Achilles tendon running on both Thursday and Friday, and so that activity will not be possible for a few days.
As of 4:20 pm today, I have had 2 servings of fruit.
WE ARE NOW OVER 1500 TEAMMATES, just picture that, 0ver 1500 human beings locking arms in a shared effort to improve our health. Feel free to grab a partner for more timely and interactive partnering in our shared quest. I wish you all well, and will check in later tonight or tomorrow am. My wife was not so happy with me getting on email at 11:30 or so, even after I explained our nationwide MTM campaign.
Life’s Rich Pageant!
KT, Your Mayor

I am so excited about this MTM….I joined the Village on April 4, 2011 and I must say this has been the greatest 4 months of my professional life, dreams and goals being fullfilled daily. MTM is an awsome program and knowing the support of so many other teammates is avaliable makes it that much better. I have been on a journey of becoming healthy and fit for almost 3 years after waking up one morning three years ago and making the decision that 290lbs on a 4’11” body was no longer acceptable to me and I started the journey to change, for me that journey involved Weight Watchers….I am happy to report that as of this morning I am 100lbs lighter than I was 3 years ago and still losing. I must admit the extremly hot Texas summer had caused me to slack off of my work-out routine, but I have gotten back on track thanks to the MTM campaign and started my work-out routine back up yesterday with a 3 mile run on the tredmill and 20 minutes on the eliptical…can I just say that my legs are not happy with me this morning….:)After three years the healthy eatting part for me, is now just a life-style….the working-out part is getting there….Thanks KT for your daily encouragement and sharing your life so personaly with all of us.
One for All!!

Wow KT you are such an inspiration. I have high blood pressure and take medication daily to keep it leveled out. I am trying to get myself in the routine of working out because I know if I take better care of myself my blood pressure will also do better. I plan to live a long life and have no issues keeping up with my four year old and the MTM campaign is always a great motivator.
Thank You for being such a great Mayor.
