Welcome to my Fitness Blog

Hello..... I am a man from Dallas, Texas (smile when you say that). Born and bred third generation and damn proud of it! I moved to Abu Dhabi, UAE in the Middle East on September 25, 2010 to start working on a major hospital project in downtown Abu Dhabi, the Sheikh Khalifa Medical City. Reason for this move was to have an adventure, make more money and try to pay off the debt of 3 children's education at Texas A&M... WHOOP!

I am married to Joy, the most wonderful woman in the world. Been so since 1980 that is 30 plus years. She is my love, my life, my everything. I have 3 wonderful successful children Jessica, Chelsea and Gregory.

This blog is way over due -- I was going to start it last year recording my new adventures in a new world. But I got busy and did not start until today September 1, 2011. It will be a blog to record the adventures and quirks of Abu Dhabi. Plus the blog will be a new motivation to me to get back in shape after nearly a year of sedentary life style. Ref "50yearoldfatmanproject"

So sit back and maybe enjoy my boring adventures of Michael Xpat.

Happy Valentines day!
Pot of coffee plus 2 sausage patties with a slice of cheese between.

Sunday, made it to church Jessica & Greg late left with out them.
Headed to taco bueno after church keeping with the diet had 2 sides of chicken fajita meat on a side of lettuce with grated cheese & some pico on top ($2.87 cheap).

Headed over to Winters Park Nursing home to check on Mom. Moved her to room 407. There was a large crazy afro american evangelistic woman that was hell bent on saving my already saved Mother. She said that she was her room mate because god had called her to save her. But my Mother just needs some physical therapy & some good rest.
David & Gail came to take Mom to see Al. I told them how good I was doing with the project. He said no way that you lost that much weight since January 4th. But I have with exercise & eating right.

Got back to the house Joy was in a cleaning frenzy. So I got Greg vacuuming me dusting it quickly became an all afternoon ordeal. But whew it really needed to be done. Even scrubbed the tile floor with a cleaning stuff & a brush.

Then got dressed in some warm clothes because it is cold. Went all the way up Murphy road turned right to racetrack north to the rock road to the cemetery scary then to Kimbrough. Walked the east side then started across the track. Bam the alarm went off in the stadium scarred the heck out of me. Never happened before & I have done this many times. I ran very quickly..........I could see myself calling Joy saying guess what? Back to the house same way just backwards.

That was 1 1/2 hours of pretty hard bike riding.
Joy having left overs. I pan cooked some chicken with onions, peppers & spices. Through it on some leaves of lettuce & ate it up.

Hit the hand weights a little before bed. 4 sets of 25 about 6 different basic exercises.
