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 [...]

Site redesign likely forthcoming

04 November 2009

As much as I like the funk of this design, I am weighing the options of redesigning to something slightly more user friendly. I think there are a lot of things that are buried in pages people don’t often go to, and these things are important. Things people should probably know about in terms of [...]

All orgs have been notified: Voting extended to NOV. 9!

02 November 2009

The word is out! I have contacted Free Arts of Arizona, Nuci’s Space, and the Andre Agassi Foundation to let them know they are in the running for the first fundraiser. I hope the response is positive, and I hope that more votes start to come in. Speaking of votes, because of the slow start, [...]

A quiet beginning

01 November 2009

Well, today is day one of this first go around. Nothing too exciting, except for the fact that I’ve let most of the people know about this site (and why I only have 13 votes so far is a mystery to me). In any case, come Friday, I’ll be ready to contact the ‘winner’ and [...]

Finalists for the first fundraiser: Vote now!

30 October 2009

After going through several organizations, I have narrowed down the choices to three organizations that I feel are worthwhile causes. Not only do I feel that they’re worthwhile, but I feel that no matter the amount we eventually raise, we will be able to make a good contribution with an impact. In no particular order, [...]

Who else is doing this? Are you losing weight for charity, too?

27 October 2009

I have, on more than one occasion, seen individuals or organizations lose weight for charity. I definitely don’t claim the Fitlanthropist to be wholly original (of course, I’d like to think that certain aspects of it are ). If anyone out there is at all familiar with someone who is doing something similar to this, [...]

Slowly getting the word out

26 October 2009

I know there isn’t much to look at here, and that will change. I made a post to my other blog to let readers (if there are any left) know that I’m here now. I’m hoping to incorporate some new things that I’ve always wanted to like guest posts and giveaways. Plus, I’ll be looking [...]
