Full Metal Lunchbox

 

Well, I had hoped that this post would be nothing but good news.  But actually the news is mixed.



Let's start with the bad...


I sat for my final Microsoft exam for my MCSE/MCDBA this morning and failed.




I walked into the testing room this morning confident I would pass, but I knew within the first dozen questions that I was insufficiently prepared.


I'll just have to do better when I retake the test next month.



Now for the good news...


I am pleased to officially announce that after 3 1/2 months of dieting, I have lost 27 pounds and have reached my weight goal.





Justyna's positive example, along with a reduced calorie diet and moderate exercise, made getting in shape a mostly easy experience.  Having experimented with several diets in the past (also due to Justyna) I have to give props to Weight Watchers for having the most workable weight-loss philosophy:  eat less (and assign a point value to everything you eat), exercise, and most especially, document everything you do.


Regretfully, I don't have any cool before and after photos.  Those of you who haven't seen the new me yet will just have to be surprised.


I hope to be in even better physical condition by the time I finaly pass my exam.  My goal for this summer is to become a certified geek *and* also look good in a tank top.
