The Diary Game || 21-3-25 || Staying fit with Steemians, Buying Steems through executed trades and Creativity for SLC

Thank God it's Friday. It was a very long day. I literally spent 24 hours working without resting. I woke up by 4 Am that morning and programmed my mind for fitness at the Steemian's Fitness center, Oba. Before going for fitness training, I carried out some activities on my phone. First was to thank God for the life he gave me and reading the scriptures on my phone.

The scripture I read that Friday was appealing to me. It says as I quote:

"Commit to Jehovah, wherever you do and your plans will succeed"

You know many people today make plans without consultation and also take decisions based on what they feel or know. This includes financial and material planning. The admonition here is to commit to our God whatever we do. How do we commit? Prayerfully seek his help and guidance, pour out your heart to him through prayer, consult the scriptures for advice and seek help from trusted friends.

When he's part of our decision making, as an all wise and powerful God, he'll help make our plans succeed be it our businesses, someone's business and other endeavours we carry out on a daily basis. So I did commit my day to my heavenly father. After considering the scriptures, I took my phone to check my executed trades.

The market has been very unstable and down lately. So I took the opportunity to analyse trades. Remember I told you guys in my last diary game that we should be expecting some movement from steem to $0.25 next month. Now may be the time to buy low even though unfavourable market conditions would affect its movements. Investors are warming up.

I didn't enter any steem trade that day because I was still on analysis. I choose to enter a trade on Dot/Usdt. I made 30% from the trade i.e 30 usdt. It was a short term short trade though. So I used that opportunity to buy steems with $10 on DCA. This is the steems I bought. My intention is to gather enough steems for contests and also growing my steem power with whatever profits I make from trades.

After that quick intake, I prepared myself for fitness training and starting jogging to the place. I'm always late for the training because of analysing the market early in the morning before chores. When I got there, I saw @whizzbro4eva and exchanged pleasantries. We marched to where activities were done and asked for the first program. This week's programs focuses on butt building and stretches.

In my mind I was like; This program is for women. It's women exclusive because they need this butt more than we do. Coach @ngoenyi refuted such and stated how important it is for men as well. Sitting on a hard surface for long would definitely make your butt numb if your butt is flat as a man because it's your pelvic bone you'll be sitting on which would coincide with the hard surface and make it seem like there's no flesh around your butt.

Without further ado, we did the programs together as we were the only male gender there. The first program was Side kicks.

This was done by placing your hands on a surface and then propelled your legs in such a way that your hips are high and your butt feels a little bit perplexed. That's where the pressure was and the pain came from moving it consistently. I did the program 4 sets, 20 times in each set. My legs were used to navigate these movements.

Sit ups
Reversed Crunch
Stationary inverse planks

These were the three programs I did. In Sit-ups, I laid on a mat with my legs placed outside the mat and my aim was to lift my body to touch my knee without using my hands as support. My hands were above my head while I propelled my body to meet my chest region.

In Reverse Crunch, I also laid on a mat though but took my legs up this time. My legs were jointly moved against my head level with my knees bent slightly. My waist and butt would be lifted anytime I push my legs to my head level. When my legs are brought down, they remained suspended in the air without touching the ground. That's where I felt pain.

After the programs, coach @ngoenyi made us do stretches. In her stretches class, I was the photographer and didn't involve myself. I kinda escaped so to speak but later did it myself. These are my stretches that day after the training was over. I spent the whole afternoon with @whizzbro4eva as we recreated moments together. He was my photographer while I did crazy things in the name of creativity. They were part of my private stretches though.

I felt light and free from unnecessary thoughts after doing the programs. I didn't even remember I didn't have my breakfast and that there are some problems I left behind while coming to the fitness centre. That's the essence of exercising daily. You get to forget some of your problems especially when you associate with Steemians and other fitness trainees in the fitness centre.

After having a fun time, I did my Learning challenge on fitness and the explored the fitness center to capture facilities therein. My doing so is to promote #steem-atlas as I'll pin the location of my fitness center on the map and discussed facilities in this recreational center.

Since our phones were out of enough battery, we had to stay in the fitness centre to charge. It was at this point I took to exploring the vicinity and also capture facilities and buildings in the fitness centre. It's really a big fitness center, built for recreation years back until the person in charge of this project handed over to a management team.

During Nigerian's election for president in late 2023, this man called Senator Oba was a contestant and to get the attention of people living in Ifa, ibiaku, uruan, etc. He erected this structure and bought an enlarged space behind the structure to create a stadium but this isn't actualise. To make his recreational center accessible, he tarred the road leading to the recreational center and used the building for his campaign.

He built this recreational center so the neighbouring villages can have a general free source of electricity. People can charge their phones there without paying a dime. They can play football games, tennis, basketball and all types of sports. It was built generally for the community under a trusted management.

After capturing over 10 facilities, I left with @whizzbro4eva to a supermarket where we purchased our breakfast and also captured segments in the supermarket with the approval of the supermarket manager. We spent some good time there before parting ways. It was literally 4pm. I purchased materials I would be using to create the second learning challenge on making a puppet theatre.

I literally spent the whole day developing creativity with my young friends. I was offline, unaware of how the market was moving as I was just so occupied with achieving something that night. Once I was done with the creativity, I checked the market to see if there was any major change and Boom 💥.....I lost the opportunity of closing a steem trade I set which would have given me $132. I didn't set my TP. At that point, I regretted carrying out that learning challenge as I would have profited if I were active when the dump was taking place.

It was short-lived though as it was now in the part. I then checked up on my newbies for noticeable progress on their blog. I discovered two of them posted with the guides I have them and they did so expertly. To end my day and put my losses behind me, I watched a movie which helped clear my head. The title of the movie is Electric State. The movie is highly recommended by me as it's very informative and pictures reminders from our pasts which are non-fictional.

At least, I've been able to achieve a lot of things even though I had a major loss. As of the time of writing, I traded steems last night and woke up to see it's still run. I dey a TP of $0.15 and it did hit before retracing back. I got a reasonable amount of dollars to buy steems.
