It still blows my mind a little that in Nairobi the amount of accessible green spaces is LESS than what you'd find anywhere in Europe
Less than 6 months back home in Kenya and the BJJ quest is ramping up into a speed run like....I'm in the national Business Daily Africa paper already and officially a coach at Nairobi Jiu Jitsu Academy 💜🫡 – at Nairobi, Kenya
I never thought hearing "..and a high of 27°C" every damn morning would have me feeling kinda sad 🤣 experiencing the UK's bipolar weather for 23 years has done a number on my Kenyan brain it seems. – at Nairobi, Kenya

2025 Goal: No "zero" days.
A 'zero' day is when you don't move at all.
In five years, you won’t care whether you crushed your workout today or not.
You’ll care that you showed up.
Focus on being consistent. Fitness is a life-long journey, not a 30-day sprint.

I'm only 39 and I already see it.
Fit friends seem to defy aging.
Those that don't exercise regularly are going downhill fast.
It's f*cking sad.

I get that life can be busy.
A day here, a day there.
In the short term, missing fitness doesn't seem to make a difference.
It's hard to notice until one day, it becomes obvious.
And while it's never too late to begin an exercise routine, the longer you wait, the harder it is:
You have two options:
1) Exercise regularly.
2) Or don't.
It's a binary decision.
For a while, the two lines, action and inaction, feel similar.
Then one day the difference becomes jarring.

It's hard to find time to exercise.
But you don't need to do a lot. Start small.
Just move. Today, just walk for 15 mins.
Life's busy. Finding time is hard.
But if you don't make time for exercise now, you'll be forced to make time for disease later.
Don't let that happen.

Anyone know how to kill or at least quieten the "logic/corporate" mind to allow for a creative to shine through? Asking for myself. I'm tired of my own bullshit 🤣
9 months of visiting BJJ gyms across Europe and finally making it home to Kenya to this new BJJ gym in Nairobi with THIS VIEW is unreal. I have big plans and this is a great spot to inspire them and carry on getting the work done 💜 – at Nairobi, Kenya
It's crazy how being reminded that rolling black outs are a norm in Nairobi changes my wanting a fully detached house to a nicely nested townhouse to live in 😅 imagine just randomly being attacked by a monkey trying to turn on the generator.
My god I've become soft 🤣
Moving back home after some 23 years is weird....It's the first clear break I've had into a different society (my teens to adult was easy due to uni) I feel like there's a field manual but there isn't because we just sorta "do it" but never think why 🤣
You know when your friend means well but they end up dropping a dollop of panic into your plans? ....That.
215 days into travelling for BJJ, with 68 days to go before it's all over and I've finally gotten episode 1 of my gym reviews online 🤣 you can have a noodle here:

162 days worth of travelling...spending the last 2 months in the UK has slowed down the excitement of it all...But going to places I've been "meaning" to head to still makes it a bit exciting other than I get looked at funny when I go "Holaaaaaa" entering a shop 😆😆😆
