From KT – June 28, 2012
Yo DaVita!
Yesterday back to back all day and with DVA teammates until 10 pm, hence no journal entry, sorry! Yesterday did 25 solid minutes on the bike, 100 crunches, and 6 minutes of stretching, for a total of 34 minutes.
This am, I did 45 minutes of email starting at 6:30 then 25 strong minutes on the bike but only 2 minutes of stretching. I am hustling to get downtown for meetings until 7 pm tonight. I don’t know if I have biz dinner or not.
Hope you are well! I have stopped eating desserts!

Desserts are the enemy – at least one of them 😀

I am enjoying this so much, love my team and encouraging them. I live near the beach and look forward to my long walk/jogs. It makes such a difference for me..my team name is “Bound & Determined” Strong Bodies, Stronger Minds! I have lost 7lbs since we started this and it really makes me accoutable when I think about MTM. Don’t forget we got the 4th of July coming up, I plan a head when going to celebrations. I usually will seek out the low-fat stuff or since I love to cook I will make something that I can share and know it is safe for me to eat. I am making homemade Mango Salsa with pita chips for a party we are going to. It is always a hit! Happy 4th of July to all and I am so thankful that we live in a Free Country!

Thanks KT – it must be a challenge to eat out as much as you do – kudos for giving up the dessert.
Maggie – thanks for reminding me about the food challenges of July 4th. I am invited to a BBQ. I usually bring a nice green salad (people always say they are making salad but it usually winds up being macaroni or potato salad!)and a big bowl of fruit salad. This way I am assured of having something healthy to eat and the temptation is minimized. A little Greek yogurt with some unsweetened cocoa and sweetner, tops with crushed nuts, helps me get past those tempting desserts.
Thanks all for your words of motivation!!!

Hi KT,
I enjoy reading your posts over here in the Team Evergreen business office. I am currently an intern in the tax pack. I was curious about types of health supplements you take when working out. Do you ever take any Whey Protein Isolate after a hard workout? If not, have you ever tried taking any protein supplements to aid muscle recovery? I was also curious what your stance is on multi-vitamins? Do you take any?

KT – I am off and on when it comes to a daily general purposed multi-vitamin thing. the studies do not really support it making a difference, and I get a lot of good stuff in my normal diet – although I eat too much of it. Regarding nutritional supplements, if I am out for more than a 2 hour tough bike ride I take endurolytes to replace electrolytes because I sweat a lot … and sometimes perpetuum as boost during the second half. And then if it is a long and exhausting one on the muscles, where they are really hurting, I take Recoverite after. I was quite skeptical, but it works, I am far less sore and stiff the next day. kt
CT – Desserts are the enemy – at least one of them
KT – A formidable enemy it is ….
