Here in what is called the Midwest of the United States, most farmers plant and alternate corn and soybeans. Sometimes, you get to see more interesting crops such as these sunflowers which rotate their head position to always be facing the sun.
Enjoy your day and achieve your goals!!

Sorry I've been MIA again. Can't remember when I last posted so will try and catch up over the next few days.
Back on the bike today and finally getting some sun in both directions. Spring is on it's way, cycling past a field of sheep this morning I saw a ewe cleaning up a lamb that couldn't have been more than a few minutes old.
Have also been a little more consistent with my strength training recently and have the DOMS to prove it. Only doing 10-15 minute workouts but it's obviously doing something.
Tracking and calories also good today.
Need to try and get my consistency back for the last week of the month.1 -

Exercised?: Yes. Walked 3 Km in 24 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
Very short walk today between meetings. Will try do more on strength tonight.
Weight has been mostly stable this week, so will maintain current level instead of increasing daily calories again.
My wife fed the kookaburras today as I was on back-to-back phone conferences most of the day. They are learning to take turns.
@RangerRickL. Beautiful horses.
@loopydo2017. Exercise wise, you will love what you love. Some love running, some don't. Keep tying stuff till one really grabs you. Mix it up a bit to prevent getting stale.
@aeshippers. Welcome back (again). Hopefully you can recover your consistency again.1 -
So, I'm doing this 25km walk on Saturday. With lots of hills. My parents are hikers and go on lots of walking holidays and have hiked the Camino de Santiago. I asked them if they could take me on a training walk this morning in the window between me dropping off my daughter and nursery and picking her up and to make it as hilly as possible. I think they fulfilled the brief!
I'd love to have their fitness when I'm their age (69 and 71) and being in the UAC I'm in the right place to get it! Near the top of one climb we overtook some people,who looked my age, who'd stopped to catch their breath who I heard express amazement at my parents age and stamina haha!8 -
August 22nd
@am_change - that's a lot of calories burnt for a 10mile hike. I don't have a fitbit but according to my pedometer I burn less than that on a 16 mile hike. Makes you wonder how accurate these devices we use are.
Great that your folks are doing so well at their age! Good luck on Saturday!
Exercised?: Yes
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
No workouts today as I'm having another rest day. Felt like a cold was coming on last night, feverish, tired, but wasn't so bad this morning. Still it's my warning I need to rest a bit, so only had a walk today.
Total distance travelled: 15km (9miles)
Total steps walked: 22,121
Total calories burned: 897
Total calories consumed: 12571 -
I seen wild horses today. I didn't take pictures because I already got pictures.
Animals, heh, we were talking about animals yesterday. I forgot about wild horses.
I bet @RangerRickL has got a soft spot for wild horses.
I climbed 2000 today. That ain't bad. Don't know why I like doing that. Coming down I seen a kooky guy. I think he might a been homeless but I think him and his dog were happy. That guy, I know what he does. He cleans up that "road." So he is kind of a cooler guy than me.
I should give him money for that.
I meet people on that road. It is alright. I could tell a story about all of them. I like them dang trail runners. I especially like them if they are not so obsessed with their run that they won't stop an talk.
Buddy, I went an seen Buddy. My wife wants Buddy to eat in the cafeteria. That is alright. I get it. It is a childhood experience eating in the cafeteria. He is too distracted by all of that to eat though. I got him to take a few bites but it weren't no good. Normally I can get him to eat with a spoon. You know, kind of.
So me an Buddy goes walking around after that. It used to be walker walking but now we are all about wheelchair pushing. I got Buddy pushing his wheelchair. Hey, no more riding in it, that is what I say.
I like taking him to the drinking fountain. I push the button. The water squirts up in an arc. Buddy looks at it for a moment or two. He knows what to do. A couple of attempts he positions his mouth to that stream and gets a drink.
That little rapscallion.
We are wild horses.2 -
The group at work wanted me to go out for drinks LOL I laughed and said I was going home to my husband. I am not in my 20's and I am ok with that. I did agree to go on a walk for suicide and depression awareness. I like the cause and I like to walk.
Loads of rain I think we are going to have an early fall. Not much of a summer.3 -
Tracking: yes, including a scoop of ice cream at the cinema tonight.
Calories: yes
Exercise: yes the walk I mentioned earlier. ^
@trixsey1 the calories it shows there wasn't just for the walk but the running total for me at that point for just being alive. Yeah. I know it's not exact and that's why I'm wary of ever eating exercise calories. But as it uses my heart rate (and knows my resting hr) weight and height and knows my stride I think it's more accurate than what mfp guesstimates.
A fitbit floor is 10feet elevation so my 1060 was nothing to @bocasdelbadbob !
Glad Buddy is doing well.
Hope you feel better tomorrow @trixsey1 and manage more rest. Take care.
@aeshippers well done with the strength training. Aw, I always love lambing time! On the flip side here some of the leaves and turning and acorns and conkers falling. Already!
@RangerRickL I love sunflowers! Thanks for the pic!2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Stormy day out so stayed inside and did some bodyweight training for 40minutes and cleaned the house.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
(106.4/ 140) Mile Goal

Well, a pretty unhealthy day, foodwise. Within the calorie limits but not one green vegetable, unless you count pesto! O well, I'll do better tomorrow.3 -

22-August-2017
It was a really good idea to have taken the day off from my usual workouts, yesterday. I felt absolutely rejuvenated during today's workout.
Exercise: bike riding for 78 minutes of repeat hills. I went a total of 23km. My average heart rate was 152.
Calories: I met my goal. I've been using the MFP feature that allows different caloric goals for different days and I really like it! I eat a little more food on the weekends.
Tracking: yes, I tracked everything.

@bocasdelbob I love wild horses and almost any horses. Years ago, one of my riding instructors said to me, "I've been teaching riding for over 30 years. Most people who come to me love horseback riding. A few love horses. Rick, you love horses!" I do and I always have.
@am_change You have really changed!! You have found your groove; your mojo; your ignition. You go girl!!
@craigo3154 Thanks for the kookabura photos. I was amazed.
My report:
Calories: under by a lot
Tracking: ok
Exercise: first day in two weeks that I have been well enough to try to go horseback riding. Success!! I rode actively for 30 minutes and casually for 30 minutes. I am so happy!!!4 -
@cardio_enthusiast great cycling!!
@am_change what super role models you have. @trixsey1 I have been wearing my fitbit consistently for two years and yes it is inaccurate,but a consistently inaccurate so it is a good reference point. If that makes sense? I it also motivates me to move if I see low numbers.
Today was our day to get caught in a drenching rain. Of course we were at the midpoint of the hike. Tracked and calories are fine.

Pass #3. Lots of sitting today... worked on a painting this morning then went to the lake with some friends. Thought I'd get in a workout this evening but by mid afternoon I could tell I was getting sick with a fever and sore throat. I'm still recovering from my last round of this sickness so that's frustrating. Early bedtime tonite and headed back home tomorrow. I'll try finish the rest of the month strong.3

22nd August, 3x yes. I wanted to boost my step count so went a little further along the coastal path on by walk today. 60 mins). A hazy day over "bay" today.
@aeshippers "more consistent with my strength training recently" moving in the right direction, way to go.
@am_change @trixsey1 23k/22k steps, well done. I admit to being a little jealous, my average step count is about to break below 10k per day which I'm sad about.
@cardio_enthusiast great workout
@Sandera2 "tango tonight" Cool.
@loopydo2017 Get well, I know it's frustraiting when being unwell gets in the way but you will get past it.3 -
well it was my birthday today and I took a PASS day
recap
Pass day #1
calories over
exercise yes
tracking yes and it was not pretty. Really enjoyed my day though
water 12 glasses
Will be taking pass day #2 tomorrow as well.......saved them this month for this week!1 -
@RangerRickL and @marthall the truth behind my August success is being a teacher during the UK school summer holidays! September will be back to reality and back to the real challenge and likewise marthall, it's usually a push to get to 10000! Love those coastal pictures! And glad you're on the mend Rick!1
