I’m failing

**Cross posted to fatguyinalittlecoat.wordpress.com** The one thing I promised myself when I got back into this, is that no matter what happened, I would be real about my experience. So, here’s me being real: I’m failing. While sending the check off to Free Arts was a great feeling, hoping that our small, collective effort could [...]

Taking Care of Business

Taking Care of Business

Where have I been? I don’t even know where to begin…but let’s start with the first project. After extending my donation period for sometime, I was finally able to get $200 raised for Free Arts of Arizona. I want to sincerely thanks those who donated and helped motivate me to keep working. Though I hoped [...]

Being Accountable

Being Accountable

When John asked me to be a contributor for Fitlanthropist, he probably didn’t imagine I’d be ratting him out. But accountability is a good thing, right? So here I am, admitting to you that we ate donuts last night. And I mean donuts as in more than one donut per person. At the time, it [...]

Final Weigh-In Wednesday for Free Arts of AZ

07 January 2010

Weigh-In Wednesday – Jan. 7, 2010 from The Fitlanthropist on Vimeo. Well, friends, it’s over. I set a goal of 15 pounds and lost 10…and frankly, I’m pretty happy about that. I had a few doubters going into this, and rightfully so. It didn’t seem logical to some that I might actually be able to [...]

Well, Then…

20 December 2009

When I set out with the Fitlanthropist, I really didn’t have any concrete plan other than to get healthy, lose weight, and raise money for charity. My hope was that people would eventually run into this site, and donate or help motivate me. I don’t think it was much of a coincidence that I was [...]

Playing catch-up (and avoiding ketchup)

24 November 2009

I have been so incredibly busy this week with a conference in Cleveland, and with other things with my doctoral degree work, that I haven’t had much time to post! I even had an opportunity to do a weigh-in Wednesday, but I just haven’t managed to get the video up…I’ll do that very soon, because [...]

Weigh-In Wednesday Postponed

11 November 2009

Argh!! Something is up with my scale. It either needs to be recalibrated or needs a new battery. All I know is I stepped on it this morning and could NOT possible weigh what came back. It’s just not humanly possible to gain what the scale was telling me in a week…yeah, the number was [...]
