From KT – June 12, 2012
Good Morning Worldwide MTM Team !!
Another quick one – I stopped doing email at 10:20 pm last night, and trundled up to bed and reading the newspaper. Got up at 5 am for a quick workout – 16 minutes on the bike was all I had time for, but I did ratchet up a couple levels to make it pretty intense. Then one set of curls (20×17) and push-ups (42) and a tiny bit of stretching. Total of 22 minutes only.
I had to hustle because we had the leading TV Channel in Colorado in the Casa, because we are one of the leading participants in their annual food drive. So they started filming about 60 of your fellow teammates making waffles and packing up food and toys and other stuff – and therefore DaVita was on the leading morning TV show 3 times this morning. While they started at 5:45 or so, the third segment with me in it did not start until 6:40. Wouldn’t you know it, when the camera shifted to me and I was supposed to gracefully open the waffle maker, I realized I did not know how to open it and fumbled around for what seemed like ages as the TV announcer commented on my cooking prowess.
It was a fun event, and the announcer made a big point about how actively DaVita works to make contributions to the community, which was nice to hear.
As of 7:30 the regular meetings start and run virtually all day until 6:30 tonight. Then I will run to REI to buy one or two things for my backpacking that starts tomorrow. I need to hustle because I have a business dinner that I will join in progress at 7:30 I hope – we have some important issues to discuss.
I hope I can avoid over-eating tonight. And I hope each of the 3400 of you, plus the 4 dogs, have a great day!
One for All, KT

Ok, our mayor has to be a mixture of machine and nuclear energy. I’ve found that bathroom breaks helps people reach their weight loss goals, due to the amount of fluid that accumulates when people are so busy they actually forget to use the restroom. On a lighter note, we’ve invited about 10 more davita teamamtes and family members to join our Team. Momentum and accountability is going to be key for utlimate satisfaction in the program. I have to say I’m really enjoying the park passes. It’s helping me dream a little more of the places I would like to visit with my family and friends. Yall have a great day.

Last week my daughter had a soccer accident causing surgery. She is in a non-weight bearing foot cast for 10 weeks. This week, I am working from home and being her nurse all while diligently creating a cool neighborhood atmosphere for all of us to enjoy at our new world headquarters. Multi-tasking at its best 🙂 During the day I have been taking a few breaks to walk. My family and I live out in the country in Tennessee and it is nice to clear my mind and get a little extra creative energy. The scenery is nice and I find that it clears my mind and I focus a little better after a quick 10 or 20 minute walk. I am glad we are in this together guys.
