Yo DaVitans!
It is Monday evening and I must repeat that it is a great boost to read some of the entries from other teammates! I’m motivated by the energy, the honesty and the sense of shared goodwill and purpose. This is a good place, for me at least!
This Match the Mayor campaign is taking place at a good time, because I did the CIGNA Health Assessment and it highlighted what I already knew — that I have let my cholesterol (the bad type) and triglycerides creep up again, and need to nip that trend in the bud. So thanks for the help!
I was able to do a weigh-in this morning, at my standard time right when I wake up, with the same clothing, on the same scale. The news was much better than I expected, I weighed 190. That is 7 pounds down. I think I must be a little dehydrated so I don’t want to believe it. But the same scale had me down 6 pounds a week ago and I have moved a full hole on the belts.
This should be a week where I have an opportunity to perform well, as I am only in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and I don’t have a lot of big evening work or social events. Since it is day 72 out of the 90, I need to step up like so many of you are doing, so I finish the job like you!
One for All,
KT

Today I’m marking my 40th day smoke free! Yesterday was a milestone for me as it was the first day that I did NOT think about cigarettes at all during the entire day (I only realized that this morning when I was reading KT’s message and thinking about my goals…one of which I have already accomplished…quitting smoking!) I am still riding my bike, a bit longer now, around 7-8 miles each day. It’s getting chillier here in Chicago, so I’m not sweating as much during my evening rides, but I’m still benefiting from the exercise and plan to ride every day unless my bike cannot make it through the snow drifts!
If any of you in our village are still contemplating signing up for “Match the Mayor”, take the plunge and just do it! It’s never to late to IMPROVE your lifestyle. I cannot believe what I have accomplished in such a short period of time, and my accomplishments will last my lifetime. Do it for yourself….you will be glad you did!!!
