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.

Not much of a fitness blog lately.
I AM OUT of the hospital ! Thank Goodness!!
OK I have to vent.
It looks like now for the next 2 to 3 months. I will be on a ____ blood thinner starting with Lovenox shots. I will give myself a shot every 12 hours for the next 7 days.
Plus at the same time once a day. I take a Comaodin pill.
Arghhhh that's going to be for the next 2 to 3 ____ months.
Also I have to get a blood test every other day to make sure my INR levels are right.
Check my temperature & my blood pressure 4 times a day.
So.....listen & learn from other peoples experiences ........ I will never do an elective surgery again. I will live with a little discomfort. What I am talking about is.
I had a Pilonidal cyst on my back side right at the top of my cute little tan butt.
It bothered me once or twice a month sometimes it would go for months never acting up.
Not that big a deal right? Right....... NO instead of just saying no big deal. I had to mess with myself & my health.
Now I have to take it easy not do this, not do that. But do all that _____ stuff above.

So the moral to the story is never do an elective surgery. Just tough it out. Things can be a lot worse. However, even though all this ____ has happened. I am still going skiing with Greg. I will survive. I will deal with it. So green slopes only for me. We are going to keystone. Been there done that pretty easy if you want it to be.
Got to wear a helmet doctors orders. Big head already, now a BIGGER head.
