Yo DaVita !

Good Morning.  It is Thursday am, and I last left you on my plane to Philadelphia on Tuesday night.  I got to the hotel a little after midnight.  I did make it thru the flight with zero diet cokes, so Tuesday was a zero day in total.  Good.

The next morning I got a solid 30 minutes on the bike, 30 push-ups, 50 crunches, and a few minutes of stretching.  Total of 38 minutes of exercise during that stint.  The good news for me is I did two “walking” meetings that day — a full 2 hours of serious business done while walking instead of sitting in a conference room.  Since it was very low intensity I should discount those minutes, so I will reduce the 120 to 40.  But I would not want to discount it any further, because walking outside is such a healthy thing, physically and emotionally.  So total healthy activity minutes of the day are 78.

Unfortunately I did not sleep well, and had 2.5 diet cokes during the day — in one sense only 2, but since the second one was one of those 20 ounce plastic bottles I should count it as 1.5, hence the total of 2.5 on the day.

I did the senior exec interview in Philadelphia, then flew to White Plains, New York.  I did a meeting there, then drove to Connecticut for a dinner there.  Then I flew to Boston, arriving at my hotel about 11 pm.  Did some email and called it a day.

Today started in the gym, with 20 minutes on the bike, 25 push-ups, 70 crunches, and a lot of good stretching and a few weights.  A good 50 minute start to the day!  Now I am off to a day of meetings and calls, followed by a dinner.  I wish you all a good day, and thanks for the support!

No brag, Just fact
