The Diary Game || 5-04-25 || Celebrating StayFit Fitness Club First Anniversary and Attending a Funeral

It was a weekend and weekends are known for enjoyment, celebration of moments, and the likes. For the past year, we've been staying fit four times a week. We love our body that's why we choose to stay fit to change or maintain our body. I started my fitness journey in April last year with a fitness team called StayFit.

This fitness team has built in me, the motivation to reduce anxiety and school stress through fitness and luckily enough, I have a family there — a group of Steemians also staying fit. It's been a successful journey that calls for celebration. Though I didn't start when the fitness group was formed, I was part of the successful journey and now, we just celebrated one year achievement.

I call it an achievement because not all fitness groups stick together. Some split while others prefer not to celebrate because of disunity. That unity has bonded us together and we're here again.

This StayFit Fitness club I'm talking about is a community on steemit with its coach as @ngoenyi. She found the fitness club and built it to great heights. Last engagement challenge, the community was made visible. I bring to you how the celebration went in the form of a diary game. I did a lot of activities that day which included a mixture of feelings. Let me give my narratives.

Stayfit is one year and we celebrated our anniversary last weekend The pictures above show our humble beginning

The outfit of the day was lemon and black. I took to wearing my lemon and black outfit in preparation for the event. I wore my sneakers and shade and then jogged to the fitness center at Oba, Stadium. If I'm to value my outfit, I would say that everything I wore costs just 20k in naira value.

With excitement on my face, I left quite in time as the event was slated to commence by 6:30Am. I arrived there to see my fitness teammates and other fitness groups that were invited. Such a pleasant surprise to see we were over 60 in attendance. 5 fitness teams in my city came to celebrate with us.

I greeted all of them and smiled particularly with the ones that knew me for photographing. They know me for this 🤣🤣. They say every disappointment is a blessing. It was a blessing indeed but let me talk about the disappointment first. The DJ @chichigirl hired to finish work in the event for us wasn't available in time and we were running out of time.

Doing fitness programs especially in the morning hours is to prevent sun as we were not under cover. We wanted to take advantage of the cool breeze that transpired that morning while performing stretching exercises. An hour later, the DJ arrived and we were quite relieved. We would have used other audio amplifiers but the DJ has a microphone that helps amplify one's voice since we were in our numbers.

The event started in no time with some stretching exercise by a woman who's older than how she look. She loves her body and that's reflected in her looks. She may be in her early 50s and still looking as agile as this. The benefits of working out has made her attain the body of a young lady who's not married. She led us with her positive energy.

She's not a fitness coach but a student in a fitness team. As she said, she's a good student and this was reflected in her performance. You needed to see her put life in everything she did there.

She led us through stretches before coach @ngoenyi took the mic and gave her opening speech. It was her fitness team doing anniversary that day. We the team members expressed our love by shouting in support. Her words touched me and made me reflect on how she grew this fitness team with the support of friends. If someone were to ask me what I've accomplished by staying fit, I'll humbly say the following....
