January Running
Tweet Another year flew by, an exciting year, and 2016 pretty much crashed in like a ton of bricks! On the 31st of December I took the day off and was actually able to run with my beloved running group on the “oliebollenloop”. On the 31st we essentially eat these tasty amazing deep-fried dough balls…
March is the Month I Hit Goal Again
Tweet Sometime right before I started marathon training, I decided I really wanted to get back to my WW goal of 70KG. At that time it was something like 6 or 7 KG to lose and if I would be really serious about my training and my food, it should be possible to do that…
Friday Five
Tweet It’s been an odd week. Basically I was free the whole week and the plan was to relax, do a few things around the house and prepare for starting my new job. I definitely relaxed! The things I wanted to do around the house, not so much. I managed to deep clean the kitchen…
In Other News
Tweet another change, or rather going back to the beginning again… Tonight I went back to Weight Watchers. Not because I want to be on a diet. Because I need the support. I tried to do it online for a while but I just am not motivated by myself to do it. I need support.…
A Good Start – January Update
Tweet If you know me by now then you know that two weeks and nary a post from me is pretty normal. I am the Queen of Good Intentions. So here’s a few things: 1- I started the month/year with choosing to stick to a healthy way of eating, rather than stress eating, not planning,…
Done. Onto the Next One.
Tweet So Sunday… was the Posbankloop, which once again my husband kicked his PR’s ass. He’s such a rockstar! First of all, it’s a smaller race. Not sure how many participants but probably 5000 or less. It wasn’t very crowded at the meeting point. Any of you who think the Netherlands is flat you are…
Epic.
Tweet I don’t know how else to describe this month. Mind you, Epic doesn’t necessary mean good. In my case it means a lot of different things. Good. Bad. Stressed. Busy. Exhausted. First of all, the work thing is just insane. I can’t really give you too many details but the stress has just been…
What’s Happening?
Tweet So, since I had a little whinge about my struggles, I’ve had a vacation, gotten my blood test results back, ran a 10 Miler and had a birthday so I thought I’d update just a wee bit. Running When I wrote my last post I really was struggling with running. I’m not sure why,…
Sunday Run: aka My Husband is Awesome
Tweet I’ve been fairly down lately. Eating isn’t going well (uninspired. bored. meh.) Running isn’t going well (slow. heavy. no schedule) I have a lot of things on my mind, the usual combination of stuff – work, thoughts, life, etc. Ron’s been running a lot and really looking into technique, fueling for running, cross-training and…
How do you move your behind?
Tweet I was thinking about this today on my walk around the block at the station. You see, (almost) every work day I arrive at my station in Amsterdam and I walk a kilometer around the block(s) because I have time to kill. I do this regardless of weather or what I’m carrying with me…
