Alive and thriving: Actifit Report: May 23 2023 I met an exercise buddy today!

My life experience today is a story book as the over 17,000 steps leaves loads to be told. So sit back and enjoy every bit of the ride, 🤞🏽I won’t bore you.

It rained at night, the best kind and had a lovely sleep. At my waking, this was an addition to my affirmations:

‘After the rain comes a bright shining sun. Oh! Boy, what a shinning sun that will be.’ I wasn’t referring to the rain.

I was out extra early as usual to attend mass and the wet and rising sun scenery could not be passed by without a picture.

The weather was still looking all dim from the rain- I like that sort of weather. I decided to go through a lane where I’ve seen the stairs to challenge myself to climbing up and down the entire rail of stairs 20 times.

Then saw these beautiful rain drenched flowers and took pictures.

Aren’t they beautiful? If you don’t mind me asking, Which are your favorites?

Behold the stairs I challenged myself to climbing 20times over

The view looking up like a king viewing his conquered lands😅

My sweating profusely will tell you that it was not an easy feat but I did it anyway💪🏽.

Then came along a stranger who asked how many times I climbed back and forth trying to beat my challenge. I let him go ahead, saying nothing more whilst I did other hopping and jumping exercises below the stairs.

Guess what?

He was beat at 6, saying how the steps were high and having not done this for a while. I laughed ~nicely~ Nah! I laughed hysterically.
To be fair I was also horrible at the aerobics that needed sitting. I guess I have more stamina on my feet than in enduring pain on my stomach.

Here he taught me other forms of workout (sitting still with a foot above the other and almost lying flat but hanging on in mid air and still for 30secs) having been a football coach in his youth

We moved on for a walk at longer distances as he told great tales of his achievements and fails.

I learnt a whole lot even about my field of expertise and glad I was out for a workout as well as listening to the voice in my head that takes me towards new challenges and healthier living.

Here is my new found work out buddy, though for a few days as he is just visiting Abuja on an assignment.

_{He was fine with me making a post with him in it as well as taking this picture}

The end. Thanks for sticking around.

I am alive and thriving. Hope you are too?
