From KT – July 1, 2012
Dear DaVitans,
I hope you have been able to take advantage of the weekend to do some great things for your physical, mental and spiritual health!
I got my best night’s sleep in a few weeks last night, I bet it was 9 hours. A good gift to myself. Denise and I spent some time looking around in a few art galleries, just for fun. Then we had a 2 hour drive to our cabin in the mountains
When we got there I had to do a couple hours of calls. Then I got out and did a great road bike ride, 12 minutes downhill followed by 45 minutes up, 1900 feet of vertical, 5 miles in horizontal distance, great workout and I beat my best time by 90 seconds! I followed it up with 40 push-ups, one set of curls (16×20), 100 crunches, and 3 minutes of stretching. A total of 54 minutes, strong ones at that.
Brunch was a tad decadent with ham/sausage/cheese all mixed in my scrambled eggs – but dinner was healthy chicken plus lots of veggies and high fibre quinoa (however you spell that). So far I have limited my evening snacks to a glass of chocolate milk.
I wish you well, all 3600 of you, let’s do it together!
One for All …. Your mayor, kt

Hi KT,
That bike ride followed by the exercise sounded like a amazing workout…
I would suggest for evening snack plain yogurt instead of milk; you may add honey/berries; although plain might be better.
Thank you for setting the example!!
Alex

Thanks, KT!
I would never have started to get in shape if I had not tried to match the mayor. This program is perfect for someone as sedentary as I was. I am thriving on the support from you and the other 3600. I am no where near climbing mountains, but I am getting more exercise and eating better, the goal of so many of us!
