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.

Love & More - Act 1

Right from the first day I saw you, I was drawn to you. Not love at first sight, but an attraction that I still cherish today after 13 years. I still remember the many walks we took when we started talking. My-o-my, I loved talking with you. I still do. Maybe I was listening more, now that I think of it. The one thing I recall was you made it easy to talk and thinking of the walks between White House (Engineering Building) and Computer science Building including other locations within the Obafemi Awolowo University community? Still cherish them. You have come to show me another part of life, completing me in areas I am not as strong. Still a journey for me but I cherish the process even though I sometimes react to the adjustments. I cherish the results though. I love it when you are happy. When you smile (even at my dry jokes). I love it when you excel at the things you do. formal and informal. I appreciate your thoughtfulness to things. I guess it comes with you being so st...

Love & More - Act 2

It has been a while we had the movie night. We have some history with movie nights I must say. From the times in Akure, Lagos and now, Amstelveen. Whenever we watch, it exciting. I enjoyed the action movies and then the love ones. I enjoy all of it anyway cos we watch together. the taking it back so you understand better is not so fun for me sha..me i have moved on in cases like that.....but anyways, i agree with you.......better to understand the context. When did we start watching movies together? Before we got married I guess. I guess this was in Lagos before I took the job with BEDC. Not sure if we watched any on our own or always with Bukky and Busayo. But anyways..the history was formed. Cinemas. one thing I loved about Igbatoro, Akure was the Filmhouse Cinemas at the Akure Mall. and then those cozy evening when we did nothing but watch a move together. Do you always stay up when we watch? Now I have to write that you might stay up with the first movie but...

The Many Walks with Kiity

Ever heard of the benefits of 30 minutes walk everyday? I bet you have. Walking is a great way to improve or maintain our overall health. Just 30 minutes every make a change in your life. I took a walk for 1 hour once and I felt the effects. It was about 8km in all and I could feel my legs tingling when I finished. The next day, the muscles spoke and I was happy. Kiity and I enjoy taking lots of walks. We did that a lot in Nigeria both individually and together. I enjoy it more when we do it together. Since we arrived the Netherlands in April this year, we have had several walks and I enjoy it more when we do it together. Walking over a small bridge, De Poel, Amstelveen I decide to take walks for many reasons; - To exercise. - To clear my head and away from the familiar - To see the environment and new places. - To breathe a different air. The most important is to talk. This is when I do it with Kiity. We have to talk about something as we go. W...

What a day!
