Today was the day…for the past week or so I’ve been sooo close to 190, even hitting it a couple times.  I wanted to make sure I was really there, so I decided to wait before taking that major step of shaving off my goatee.   I am after all an IT geek and what’s an IT geek without a goatee?

Anyway, I’ve actually be at 188 for the last couple of days so, for the first time in many, many years, I am clean shaven.  All I can say is….WTF was I thinking!  

the pushups / crunches / flutterkicks are going great.  I’m feeling better every day.  good stuff.
