The Journey to 85 in 2025

Really? 85 by Dec 2025?

Now I am talking about my weight.

In the past 2 years, I have added more weight than I did between age 30 and 37. It seems the metabolism gets slower when you get older I think. However, during a 1 hour session with a health and lifestyle coach, she mentioned this is not the case. Not sure if she referred to my age though.

Now I weigh 97.3kg early in the morning. A year ago before moving to the Netherlands, I weighed 89kg. This is over 8kg in a year. wow! what have I been eating?

Here is a recent picture I took today. I would focus on my face here. It really looks bigger than it was last year.

Getting to 85kg by Dec 2025 would mean losing 12kg. How does this work?

My conversation with the lifestyle coach came down to a few things. I mentioned these ones myself - actions I planned to take.

1. Reduce the eating of biscuits.

2. Reduce the sugar intake

3. Walk more.

4. Run a 4K once or twice in a week. (Monday evenings and Saturday mornings work for me).

5. Go back to inserting veggies in my meals.

Not sure this is the best option to do. Let me go check the mail the lifestyle coach sent me a month back.

The Hyrox

We call it the bootcamp. For today, the activity is called the Hyrox. As I type, I am yet to check the dictionary for the meaning of the word 'hyrox' to verify if it even exists. I think it should anyway. FYI- I will check after I finish scribbling. In the picture above are my colleagues at Leaseweb. We had just gone through 35 minutes of some gruesome exercise. They appeared to be simple and light but as you had to do it repetitively, they become tasking and the pain keeps on coming. We do this once a week to encourage people to keep fit or rather create an avenue to exercise despite the bussle of the week. Focus today as on 6 activities and we had to do it in multiple rounds. You can fid the list below: 1. 1km run on the treadmill 2. Burpees 3. Row/Ski 4. Lunges 5. Sit ups 6. Farmer's Carry 7. 1km run on the treadmill. It is good the Coach was unable to spell my name correctly so I am unable to claim a position. But to make it easy for you, I did the least numb...

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life. You indeed have a legacy to cherish and to build on. Your mum, grand-mums and great-grand-mums are one of the strongest and determined persons I have met and I know the seed lives on in you. Yes, I did come to know them all and I see the foundation you have to lean on. You are Royalty both Spiritually and by Land Origin. 1 Pet 2:9 reminds me of your spiritual royalty and the knowledge that you are of the origin of men who have reigned as Kings in Nigeria both in Kogi and Ondo States. Therefore, let the words scribed above by the Queen of the Southern Nigerian Kingdom bring light to you today and for every other day. I was watching a movie during the past weekend and it showcased a Father who stood by his daughter even when the whole community were against her. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

Dam tot Dam 2.0 in 2025

Ran the 2025 Dam tot Dam loop again in 2025. The Night Run. I did this in 2024 and documented here . This time around, I went in for the fun and thrill. You can imagine that I did not practice as I did the last time. "I had done it a year ago, I must be able to do it again" was my mindset. Never mind that I had added about 3-5kg in weight. I was unbothered and so sure it would be done. Last, Last as we say in pidgin English, " I go waka am " which simply means that I would walk all the way. But I did not have to. In fact, I made it in an earlier time compared to the previous year. I made two phone calls during the run to show how i was just in the mood to enjoy it. Now that I think of making a better time than the previous year. I consider that I must have been slow in 2024. what improved? I do not know. I was having a conversation with some colleagues some days ago and they were asking for my running plans for the year 2026. I simply said another 8km. But they...

What a day!
