Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) "Kia tatari ki te 2015 CNN Fit Nation Team me Dr. Sanjay Gupta -- e hiahia ana koe kia eke ahau ki runga ki Stone Mountain -- e neke atu ana i te 1,500 waewae te teitei. Kua haurangi koe?" I karanga ahau. Ae, e whakaae ana ahau. Koinei te mea i hainatia e au i taku tuku i taku ataata ki te paetukutuku CNN Fit Nation i te marama o Tihema. "Heoi, ko te eke maunga i te ata Rātapu - me kata koe ki ahau", ka karanga ahau. Engari ko te wāhanga katoa o te tukanga i mōhio ai au ka haere au ki te ako me pēhea te noho hei kaitākaro takitoru. I muri i to mātou wiki tuatahi ki tētahi kaiwhakaako me tētahi tohunga kai, i whakamōhiotia mātou tokoono ki tētahi huarahi hōu o te whakatata ki te oranga tinana me te whakauru atu ki roto i ō mātou oranga. I mohio ahau he mahi uaua tēnei, ina koa mo te tangata pēnei i ahau e whai wāhi nui ana ki ngā take ā-iwi me te mahi hapori. I Lifetime Fitness, i whakaakona mātou e tō mātou tohunga kai mā te maha o ngā mahi e pā ana ki tō mātou tirohanga ki te kai, te kai me te kai pūngoi. I muri i te maha o aku kai i roto i toku oranga, he māmā te mea i korerotia e ia. Hei titiro me te arotake i tō kai, hei whakakapi i a ia ki ētahi atu kai pēnei i te huawhenua me te huawhenua - he nui te pānga o ēnei kaupae iti ki tō whakangungu. Ka taea hoki e te whakaoti i te kai me te kai pūngoi te āhua tonu o taku tirohanga ki te piki ake ki Stone Mountain. He maha nga tau i waiho ai e ahau enei take kai hei mea whakamuri. He rite tonu ki te titiro ki te maunga e piki atu ana ahau i taua ata -- kei hea te tīmatanga, kei hea te tīmatanga? -- me te ki atu ki a au anō, he mahi uaua tēnei. He uaua hoki taku hōtaka whakangungu. I te marama o Hānuere me ngā wiki tuatahi o Hui-tanguru, ka kaha ahau ki te mahi i te hākinakina, te oma me te kaukau. Heoi, i te wā i āraia ai e ngā taumahatanga o te ora, ka kite ahau i ahau e whakangaromia ana. Engari he waimarie kua whakaaweawe ahau e aku hoa kapa CNN Fit Nation 2015 ki te pupuri i ahau i runga i te ara. He tino whakaaweawe a rātau kōrero, ā, kua āwhina i a au ki te whakaaro i ngā pakanga e anga atu ana ahau ki aku mahi whakangungu. Ka pakeke haere ahau, ka mōhio au ko te hākinakina me te kai te mea nui ki te hauora roa; heoi, ko te tautoko a ngā hoa...
E ai ki a George "Chip" Greenidge Jr. he pakanga nui te hōtaka whakangungu. Mai i tana urunga atu ki te kapa Fit Nation, kua ngaro te 20 pauna o Greenidge.
