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.

Started out as a great day! BUT did not end up good.
Up & out to work after a few cups o coffee.
Got all my ducks in order for me to be gone next week. Greg & I are headed to our father son ski trip for spring break.
Chelsea & Zachary meet for breakfast at the Original House of Pancakes on lemmon ave & Oakgrove lane. Funny i worked on Oakgrove in 1978 at Mitchell/Hall Engineering.
It is Uptown area now the building is gone.
Went to the deposition at the attorneys office. Went way to long.
Finally home to finish packing the rest of our stuff for the trip.
ARRRGHHH ! ! Then my arm started feeling numb & swelled up popping popping veins red/purple color not that pretty (& everybody nows how pretty my arms are RIGHT?
Kids said you need to go to the doctor........jeezzzz.......I said NOT we G & me are going skiing like NOW!
