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.

Well another day in paradise just living the dream
Pot of coffee of course.
Went to help out Mom today.
Stopped at Whataburger got 2 sausage, egg, & cheese biscuit sandwiches without the biscuit.

Back at the house by 3:00.
Ate some chicken & tomatoes then hit the treadmill for 30 minutes.
Going to play Whirly Ball combination of bumper cars, Lacrosse, & basketball tonight with my brother David & a bunch of Brandon's friends (check him out if you need some real estate).
Even though just riding around in a bumper car. I actually worked into a sweat.










Talked with my brother David. Thats him in the black shirt fixing one the cars.
He is TRYING to lose weight & get in shape.
But you know what Yoda says about TRY "there is no try young skywalker there is only do or do not.
I think he is doing the Atkins thing. He says some nutrition professional's said you need to cheat every couple of weeks. But I do not think so. I will monitor his progress but cheating never works.
Exercise & eat right is the way to fitness period end of sentence.
My brother thinks this a challenge between us but it is definitely not.
I started 01.04.2010 to help myself feel better & be healthy.
Today was a pretty good day for the fatman. Feeling good, looking good, & smelling good !
