Yo DaVita!

It is now 10:30 p.m. on Sunday night, sorry for the gap in communicating to my partners in pursuit of greater health and vitality!

Last Thursday a.m. I woke up in New Hampshire. After a short unsatisfying workout I was off to discuss some interesting new business opportunities. I skipped breakfast because I had not eaten dinner until 11:30 p.m., and because they did not have any healthy warm food on their menu after 10 p.m., so pizza it was. Tasted great but felt terrible since I did not crave it. Lunch was healthy I ate ham and turkey without the bun.

I hustled off to the airport in the afternoon to fly to Pennsylvania for a meeting with some physicians who are thinking of working with us. That meeting went from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. I had a salad and then chicken for dinner, which felt noble at the time. To the airport I sprinted and a little after 10:00 p.m. I was flying to Boston. I joined my wife at the hotel at 11:30 p.m., since she and I were going to attend our 25th Business School Reunion. But by this time I was starved, and since she and I were going to stay up and catch up with one another I ordered a cheeseburger with no bun and no fries for a midnight treat. Ouch!

My Friday started and ended with DaVita meetings, but in between I was able to spend four hours at the reunion and also got in a strong workout. I skipped breakfast again given the late night eating, and had a light and healthy lunch, which was made easier by the fact that the food was not very good or warm.

I won’t bore you with the details of the entire weekend — but my eating was reasonable, my exercise was solid, but the beer and wine added a bunch of calories on top. This morning we had a hearty breakfast in Boston (not a light one I am afraid) and flew back. I got a large amount of work done on the long flight, and had fish and vegetables for lunch.

Once home I went straight into my home office to continue the attack on my email mountain, still over 800 of them even after my progress on the plane. I also had to do my Compliance Refresher Training courses, the general one and the negotiator one. I stopped working at 7 p.m. in order to workout — at 8 p.m. my wife and I went out to a little local restaurant for dinner. I had a Caesar salad and salmon with veggies and rice. It feels great to be home!

Unfortunately I will not enjoy it for long, since tomorrow morning I get up at 6 a.m. to workout and then fly to the Casa in LA. I will let you know how the weigh in goes tomorrow a.m.!  I hope you all are doing well, and leading healthier lives!

One for All,

KT
