Dear diary 📑

It was a fruitful Saturday, the day i woke-up with a beautiful smiles on my face. Though yesterday was hectic due to some physical activities i engaged in. Today was a special day for STAYFIT CLUB together with 5 steemians to participate like a team in aerobic exercises, fruit sidepool party and swimming. I set aside some programs so as to participate with others.

I woke-up as early as 5am in the morning, gave gratitude to the Almighty, start to do some minor chores, put on my workout outfit and get ready to keep fit. It was 7am when i realised that I'm late already. I wasn't happy because i hate going to the gym late. I jogged down to the tarred road with an inspirational music playing on my headset to board a taxi down to the training ground.

I met 2 steemians by name @wizzyboy3 and @fortwis09 joining the team with their aerobic exercise. I missed about 3 programes, but later joined the team with the remaining programs. All programmes such as squatting, limbing, pull-ups and stretching was done correctly and completed by me. The aerobic exercise was so fun with the music played from the music box. It beats matches with our leg movement and this makes it fun and relieved me of some pains.

The aerobic exercise was completed by 8am, so we made some arrangements for the fruit sidepool party and swimming by packing our swimming trunks and the necessary materials into the car boot. @bossj23 who's our professional photographer didn't arrive in time, so the coach @ngoenyi and i put a call through. He was busy with some activities at home, so after 15 minutes of waiting, he arrived with his rocking outfit for the day.

I was so hungry and weak after the exercise, so @chichigirl quickly got to the nearby kiosk and bought a plastic Coca-Cola soft drink and stone bread for me to satisfy my stomach. I waited patiently for the bus that'll take us to the poolside while enjoying my cold drink. After 5 minutes of negotiation with the mini bus driver, he accepted our bargain and we headed to the poolside.

We arrived at AKMAG HOTEL exactly 8:55am, since we had so many agendas before the poolside party, we quickly pick our spot and start the gathering with immediate effect. @ngoenyi the coach said a few words about the importance of aerobic exercise and swimming, and why we should complete any program given by the team (STAYFIT).

While talking about some financial issues and how we can get more dumbbells, boards, mat and any necessary equipment for our workout. We served ourselves with homemade fruit salad, groundnuts and drinks. Everyone adopted it and the agenda was summarised. I was asked to pray before we go inside the pool to swim, and i did just that. IT'S TIME TO SWIM!!!

We picked up our towels, rinse our body under the shower as instructed by the pool attendant, then we swim, play games and have fun. Below are some of the pictures captured at the pool.

It's been a while i had fun like this in a team. There's this game we played, it's called Endurance game. The organizer by name Chinedu, instructed us to deep our head inside the water while he does the counting. The last person who'll hold his or breath for a longer period of time is the winner.

I enjoyed it because during the process of having fun playing the game, it also helps me hold my breath for long, who knows, i may see myself in a situation were i need to hold my breath for long inside the water before I'll survive. We spent more than 2 hours inside the pool swimming, playing games and watching other people dive like dolphins. It was time to go home, so we get everything in place and depart to our various destinations.

Saturday evenings are meant for football matches. I got up from bed, take a cool shower and head to the viewing centre to watch Aston Villa playing against Chelsea. I didn't enjoy the game that much because it ended in a draw. After the game, i got a call from a newbie by name @girlnice, she wanted me to help her promote her post on Twitter and i carefully explained how it's done via voice call as my data got finished at that moment. That was how my day ended
