So, Hey, how are you? Sorry I haven’t really updated lately. Even the 11×11 post was not meant to be published yet. Bloody hell I am not so great with this stuff am I? So a little update on the…

I realize it’s Tuesday (evening for me) and I’m very late with my update, but this is my life and the way the lowfat cookie crumbles. Again a week has gone by and my intentions to blog during the week…

Fatter and Fitter

Can you believe it? It’s possible to gain weight and fat percentage, over the holidays, but become FITTER??? Yesterday I had my Fitness Test at my “new” gym – HealthCity. HealthCity is all over the country and I have a…

A Bust

This week has been one. I went running on Monday and on Wednesday night I went to bed early… those two things were probably the most positive I did for myself. When the holidays are over I’m truly going to…

18 December, 2011 RenéeBody, Exercise, Food, Self6 Comments

Another week in review and to be quite honest with you it was almost the same as the last. Busy, hectic, too much to do, too tired, too packed full of stuff. In fact if I think about it now…

Initial Results: Tommie Copper Knee Sleeves

You may or may not know this, but I am kind of skeptical. Usually I don’t “buy into” things very easily. My approach is really more no-nonsense than anything – usually takes a bit of convincing before I’ll try a…

Week In Review:: 30 Oct – 6 Nov

6 November, 2011 RenéeBody, Exercise, Food, Mind5 Comments

Sometimes I say I can’t even remember what I did yesterday, so I thought I would try to recap my weeks on Sundays, to celebrate the good stuff and perhaps learn a thing or two from the not-so-good stuff. Last…

Hey! I’m Renée, 55 years old; I started running just to lose some weight and in the meantime found out that running changes pretty much everything. My favorite running partner, Ron (56), started running just to support me, but he found out he actually had a talent for it and consequently has run over 28 marathons in the span of 6 years with 3 of them being World Majors.

This blog is about running, fitness, mental health, travel and, though I am trying to get out of diet mentality, I may still talk about weight/ weight loss. Sometimes a combination of all, sometimes not. And not always in that order.

Running and fitness keep me sane, travel is my passion.We live in the Netherlands – Mr Pie is Dutch and I am American and Dutch, now living here over half of my life.
