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.

Oh my goodness it actually snowed 12" in Dallas Texas.
Did not go to work stayed home another good excuse the weather. Plus I have to take my mother to the nursing home.
Omelet, sausage, & coffee.
Then made big snowman with Greg. That's working out & bonding with my son.

Go to mom's help her pack take to Winter park Nursing home. Had to pick her up about 6 times carry her a few feet. That should have burnt some calories. maybe not she doesn't weigh 110 pounds.
Did my first infusion through my PICC line.
Jessica & Joy made dinner grilled chicken,with peppers/onion, broccoli. They made fried breaded chicken strips,  & okra. love that stuff but i said no NO then i ate one okra & a tiny piece of the chicken.
Did a lot of activities all day but it is not enough you have to do the exercises.
Ride the bike for an hour.
