Lucky me, no snow.

After I took the bus-kid to the bus (too late missed it) I drank some tea and water and took the youngest to school.
It is grey outside and if I may believe the weather forecast it stays this way for the next two weeks.
The bus-kid sent an sms it is snowing in the city. Not with us. I am grateful for that.

I tried to answer comments but I cannot load Steemreply or any other site.
I decided to go to bed and sleep till noon. At least I can stay warm this way.

I made a fire just before I picked up the youngest, dragged a shoppig bag firewood inside and fed the wolves and jumped into my car.
I did it all within 15 minutes.
Once back home it felt less cold but it's still cold inside.
Most laundry was dry and I made some food for the children (white beans in tomato sauce with some mashed potatoes out of a package. I only used half of the bag. While they had their hot meal I ate my canned tuna. This brand was terrible, tasteless and not worth its money.

After dinner I tried a bit on Steem again but the connection stays slow.

I delegated 100 SP to @hive-166850 plus transferred 5 Steem.
I doubt if it's a benefit to have a hive. It's another account and you need to pay 3 Steem and start at zero.
No 15 SP to start with so it is hard (impossible) to post.
Also weird. If you post it shows up on the blog of the account only. It cannot be seen unless you resteem. Sorry to say it but this doesn't make sense.
I needed to transfer commentcoin too.

@marblely joins too. She wrote a great list. Only baking twice a year and playing keyboard are some targets she set.
I hope more CCC-members will join and perhaps @hans001 likes to join too?

My food today
I ate some cheese at 8 am, a three week old orange and canned tuna (that one was awful. My youngest made us a "hot chocolate" of cocoa, water and a bit of milk. That was it.

Start am initiative is very hard, unless being supported by a whale. I have my take in #cn-malaysia #esteem-cn as well as recent #hasil2020 and #fitness2020 , which is a big hassle

What does "can" stand for?
I doubt I will ever ask a whale for help. If I start a challenge and offer people an easy income and they do not like to join because they are too lazy to write it's fine with me. I need to earn it first too.

Only at the start I remind people the contest runs. If they do not like to grow, be noticed, are willing to comment it is the end.

If it comes to your #fitness2020 I wonder what the bottleneck is. There are so many activist posts so there are sportive people. Combine it with #hasil2020 is possible too.

I will make a dpoll out of it. Not that many are at dpoll but still worth trying. 💕

Exactly babe. my #hasil2020 goal one of them is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. To put myself down to or lower than 16% body fat this year. To me lose weight is not an issue, but losing fat is. So #fitness2020 is a challenge, more like for myself. When I'm hosting the challenge, I can't possibly be backing myself up. So, it will keep me burning through.

As for the activist who are my potential participants, usually the first thing got feedback is, nobody wanna record a video of them working out. I know why, it's chicken and egg story in the nut shell. I don't look good, I choose not to present myself in front of the camera. Wait until I have a slightly presentable body, I will show you my video. But again, this challenge is supposed to encourage one to put down their ego. So what if it's 5 reps per exercise? Seriously, one day two reps of workout is a joke. I designed it this way is to encourage people to get started. 5 reps is better than 0 reps. In the end that 5 reps is not going to change my body(probably, but I do see some placebo effect, can see my shoulder become more define). Had I not record a video, I wouldn't even notice all those changes, and probably gave up already by now.

On the other hand, video recording is a prove of work, to avoid workout post spam. Take a look at #actif, usually the reports are…

Today I go to work at this hour, I eat this that and those. Finally I'm home after 9 hours. Then I took my dinner at the nearby restaurant.

And usually followed with a long list of tags. I don't want #fitness2020 go that direction.

I'm not a whale, but I do budget #steem for hosting events, contest or even competition. So, I'm on the same sheet here. No whale will sponsor me but myself. I do that because I wanted to see engagement. I wanted to see prove of work. And last but not lease, I believe money can be the greatest motivation. Had the prize be 50 steem instead of 5SBI, don't you think a lot more people will attempt and to try? Hence I will be snowballing the contest every week if nobody come and claim the reward, then it will go to next week. See what is the actual value I can flush some of those workout geek to make videos and claim the reward.

@davidke20 I doubt a higher prize will attract more people. I tried it out with the contests I hosted.

It is a question of not being noticed or too much work or whatever.

I wrote the dpoll and we will see who responds.
Interesting thing is many did join the 777, push ups on twitter including a video. Some used a photo like I did.

I agree you need some prove.
They cheated with 777 and made extra accounts, showed each day the same.

There are activities who cheat too. I gave up on that. I don't like to drag my phone around with me plus it hardly counts the steps I take.
