…Well I would completely understand if you thought I gave up on my weight loss efforts, since I have once again been missing in action for a few months.  I am having a harder time than I thought getting in to this whole blogging thing, but I am not giving up on that either!

Ok, so what have I been up to? Am I still trying to lose weight/fat? Have I gained 50 more pounds after all the holiday feasts!?!?! If you have been following me at all these are probably some of the questions you have been pondering.  Well I have not fallen off the wagon, I have not gained any weight (in fact I have lost a significant amount), and I will share all of the juicy details in my next post once I get all my notes and thoughts together.

So please stay tuned and I will be back shortly!

Beginning of week 2!

Starting weight (week 1) – 260lbs

Current weight (week 2) – 258.8lbs

I will admit, I am really having a hard time getting motivated and this last week has been kind of rough, but I am down in weight!  So at least I have Continue reading →

Alright, the day is here, I am doing this, the Fat Dude id getting fit!  I really do not have a choice. If I am going to get fit I have to do it now, or it is never going to happen. If anyone would like to join the journey with me, I would love to encourage you along.  Just message me here.

I am going to do my very best to track and journal all about this journey.  First for myself and second to inspire others and show them that it can be done!  I do not know where this journey will take me.  I am not sure how Continue reading →

Ok, first off I apologize for dropping the ball and not being consistent on posting here.  To be completely honest, I ended up falling off the wagon about a week after I got back from vacation.  It was not a major setback in my efforts, but I started getting sloppy.

Ok, now  for the update!  I have decided that I am going to start a Fat Dude Gets Fit podcast!  The reason I decided to do this is because I feel like I will do a better job podcasting than I will blogging.  I will still be blogging here from time to time, but most of the posts will probably be show notes and recipes.

So there are a few new things to be looking for in the very near future. 1. The podcast  2. new weight loss goals (I am starting from scratch).  3. A possible news letter.

Please stay tuned and thank you for visiting fatdudegetsfit.com.

This recipe is by” Everlong” over at Instructables.com.  Click here or on the picture for the recipe and let me know what you think!

So I have decided that maybe it would make more sense to post recipes at the begining of the week since a lot of people may not be cooking as much on the weekend and quick and easy meals are good during a busy week.  So this friday there will be no recipes, look for a new one on monday.  However, come check check the blog out on fridays  for random post on my favorite books, apps, and more pertaining to health, fitness and nutrition!  Sort of a “Friday Free-for-all!”.

I just want to take a second to apologize for not posting last week. I went on vacation last Wednesday and planned on posting before we left, but ended up with a mean sinus infection two days before and was just too miserable to sit in front of the computer for any extended period of time. I will try not to let this happen in the future. Once again, Sorry for leaving everyone hanging!

Here is a super simple recipe that I use quite often for a healthy protein packed meal. I

usually make a big batch of this and eat it for lunch throughout the week, so feel free to double up on the recipe if you would like.
