Welcome to my Fitness Blog
- Michael Tresp
- 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.

Went to run some errands. Coming home down Campbell had this weird deal with a guy that was driving kinda erratically weaving slowing down speeding up. I was going home behind him. He turned left on to Murphy road as did I. Had my chance to go around him. I turn on to Green Acres. All of a sudden he whipped in behind me. Did not want him to follow me home turned into the parking lot of the Pool area. He turned in had a conversation asked if he a was a little wasted He said no FRED I am fine..........but hey FRED how are you are you ok. Answer Yes. Well great FRED I am good too........But FRED how are you must live in Murphy Farms uh FRED, Hey FRED stated to ramble, ramble, ramble, totally hilarious but a little scary uh.. FRED. Really obsessed with the name FRED.
