Back to the Gym - Get Under 99kg Beard Challenge

Getting fit is cool, getting heart rate normal is awesome. Visiting a gym can be really addictive. For the second time this year I'm taking beard growing challenge - not to shave it under I will get under 99 kilos. 

Let me explain, back at the start of 2017 I applied for a gym membership at Tbilisi's Champions Academy, my weight was 105 kg, I made a challenge to grow a beard until I will weight less than 100kg. I reached my goal in less than 2 months. My best result was 97.2 kg on March 23rd, 2017. Then starting April I took a pause from a gym for 6 months (obstacles, relocating to another country without access to the gym). I gained weight back. 

Tip: Losing weight is a lifetime experience, to stay sharp - access to the gym or a lot of physical activities is a must have.

Now I'm back, renewed my membership and had my first training session (cardio, dumbbells) - first session was hard, sure. I barely managed a 30-minute session on the treadmill - few sit-ups and that's all. 

Now my weight is 104kg - to reach my goal, to get under 99kg, it will ask me to loose 5kg weight. It should be achievable in a month or something. See: How I Lost 4.4 Pounds In 5 Days In a Gym

To make my journey more interesting - I won't shave my beard until I'll get there. 

What about you? Do you have some special rituals, while reaching your goals? Drop a comment - readers and I would love to hear.

There is a chance my mom might have taken me here sometime in the early 1990s, but if so, those memories are long gone. This visit felt completely new, and…

Berlin Brandenburg Airport

In April 2026, I had my first experience with Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) while flying the Riga–Berlin–Riga route with airBaltic. This was my first time using Berlin’s main international airport, and overall, it left a solid impression—modern, functional, and relatively easy to navigate. About a decade ago, I had the chance to travel through…
