Starting today, I am taking a picture of everything that I eat and sharing it on Instagram and FatManDo.Guru. For the next few days I am going to be cleaning (eating) out my fridge and cabinets.   It will be a good exercise in embracing vulnerability… telling the truth about what I eat.   I am a bit anxious about starting, as I am not proud of how I eat.  Knowing that… Read More

I live 1 hour from Lake Michigan.  Today we were out for a drive, and decided to head towards the lake.   It was so lovely!   Warm water, which really surprised me.   Between the bathtub water and the humid air, I feel summer has arrived – officially! As you can hear in the video, the climb up the stairs was tough for me.  My muscles were fine.  I simply loose my breath.  The… Read More

This brings me back to my basketball days. Also, my long time, on and off, personal trainer, Carol, would be proud! In total I did about 20 pairs of shuffles! It was broken up into 3 sets, over a a 45 minute period. I like to go for a walk on the back round, and stop for some more intense cardio along the way. The dog (Ina) also likes it… she thinks… Read More

It was a week ago that I danced last. Marie and I seem to dance on Wednesday nights. Which just so happens to be the night one of our shows air, So You Think You Can Dance. SYTYCD. I used to really love the show. Getting excited each week. This year I enjoy watching, but it doesn’t leave me with the same satisfaction and thrill ride. Perhaps it is because I am… Read More

I have always been an Insomniac. When I was thin or fat. It is something that causes me the most frustration.

Today Kell (partner), Ina (dog) and I went for a wall/run. I decided I wanted to kick up the intensity a notch. So I stopped and did a few suicides. If you are familiar… the name is perfect for this exercise, as you end feeling drained! Back and forth, and each succession go out a little further before you turn to come back to the starting point. As I was starting, I… Read More

Today was really fun! Kell (my partner), Marie (best friend, Ina (dog) and went swimming for the first time this summer! Well, Ina has been in the water a few times. The pool is up we found a hole two days later and just fixed it yesterday. Half way thru swimming it started to rain a little. I felt like a little kid playing out in the rain. Floating on my back… Read More

Today we went for a walk (Ina the dog & my friend Marie). I had a hard night sleeping last night, and just at the point in the day when I was beginning to feel sleepy (Noon-ish), I decided to harness the power of FatManDo, and go for a walk. It was a warm and sunny summer day. Ina and I raced, she won. At the end of the road we found… Read More

I LOVE DANCING! My dream is to be a dancer for a pop diva. One of the downsides of growing up in the middle of the woods is that you are far removed from a dance studio. Even if there was a studio, is was meant for little girls in pretty pink tutus, not for little boys. I am glad to see shows like So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing… Read More

It was a rainy day today.  I got lost in work on my computer.  Did not move move.  Inactive day. I almost did not post a video, but then realized that part of Embracing Vulnerability is telling the truth, even when it means that I am not proud of what I am sharing.    Part of my learning is  that part of Taking Action is acknowledging when things are slower. In examining and… Read More
