Today was the first day since a long time that the sun showed its face.
It's been very grey in the Netherlands for weeks so that was a welcome surprise.
Steemfat 3 is in full effect but I didn't feel like going to the gym this morning.
So I decided to have a 50-minute walk as a substitute.
It might not burn as many calories but a bit of sunshine on the face must be healthy too right?
I walked in a polder called Krimpenerwaard, which is not far from my house.
A polder is a big piece of land, surrounded by dikes, that has been pumped (early days windmills, now electro engines) free of water.
Basically a good example of what the Dutch are known for worldwide, water management.
The land is roughly 2-3 meters below sea level.
The sun was out and clear blue sky. It was beautiful.
Even though it's 'dry' land. We still need to have these levies all over to deal with the groundwater.
In the summer animals (cows mainly) walk free here and they put these grates on the paths so they can't cross them.
After the walk Bianca and I went for a drive to Bergambacht. It's a small city deep inside the Krimpernerwaard. It's an old town. Very quiet (especially on a Sunday) but nice.
I wanted to take Bianca to a place called 't Centrum. I go here sometimes with @s3rg3 too, for meetings.
Inside they have this old movie poster theme that I really like.
As per Steemfat I ordered fresh juice which again is no substitute for the best beverage in the world.
For lunch we had eggs. I ordered mine with roasted beef instead of cheese and bacon. It was delicious and I think healthy enough. There was even salad!
I think weather can affect my mood a lot. I love a bit of sun even though it can be cold. Makes me happy. And I think Bianca even more (she's from Brazil). We had a simple yet great day!

Looks like a lovely day out. The Netherlands really is one of my very favourite countries and I got to see some small towns like that one on my cycling trip last year. Hope to be back again in 2018!

It's great that you finally had a nice day in the Netherlands after so many grey days. Walking doesn't burn as much calories as going to the gym but t's low impact. Also, since you did it while the sun was out you also got some sunlight exposure so you have extra natural vitamin D production.

Weather can effect mood so much. A little sun goes a long way and will do you good for days. Probably was more productive then an indoor workout.
It's really interesting the way they use the grates to keep the cows in. That is a great way to do it while allowing people to come and go.

Oh my God finally we had some sunshine! Happy you enjoyed it too :). I used to work at the Rabobank in Bergambacht for a few months which seems like lifetimes ago.

The sun or lack of it does greatly effect people. People feel much happier when the sun is shining. Lunch looked exceptionally healthy. The cheese and bacon, although very tasty have too much fat and calories. :{

Here, in South Africa we are praying for some rain, because we have to much sun, and some parts of the country is in a big drought, they have calculated that Cape Town will only have drinkable water to April, if it does not rain before the time. And in the Netherlands you have to much water again!!

You might want to to replace O.J. with mineral water, tea etc.
A single 12 ounce glass of O.J. contains an incredible 9 teaspoons of sugar, about the same as a 12 ounce can of Coke! ;)

@exyle All I could think about when you were showing the pictures of the levees was that the Dutch are good when it comes to Water Management. Then when I saw the movie posters at the Restaurant I could not help but thinking what a Great Movie Reservoir Dogs is !! I believe it's about Water Management too, in a different kind of way. It has a great musical soundtrack also.

Taking a walk do help in burning calories, but in order to burn a lot of calories you have to get your heart rate really going. You should try sitting while writing, doing desk job and typing.

Hey man nice post and pics. I think if you've gained weight you should try a plant based diet many people are trying something called "veganuary" which is where they go vegan for 1 month. Many people are having great weight loss, health and other kind of results. I was also under the impression cycling was very popular in the Netherlands, maybe try to cycle more for your travels as you'll burn much more fat and increase your metabolism. Just some tips from someone who's lost 150lbs and has coached people to do the same 😊. Although maybe it is too cold for cycling. Keep up the long walks though, they are also good!
