After more than 2 long years of nothing happening in the weight loss department, it seems I have had some success for more than a few weeks in a row. I haven’t noted all results here on the blog, but…

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…

The Quick Update Update

22 January, 2012 RenéeExercise, Just Life, Self

Sorry to have to be so quick, but it’s either cleverly think of things to blog about for this week or just update and go into the kitchen and sort out my food for tomorrow. We all know how I…

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…

Things happen when you run

8 January, 20129 January, 2012 RenéeExercise, Fun Stuff6 Comments

Running is usually just a “thing” we do, to prove something to ourselves, or to feel good about ourselves, or even to burn off the indulgence of a holiday, or a birthday, or a heavy weekend out. Running is so…

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…

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…

Never Mind, Moving Along

30 October, 2011 RenéeExercise, Fun Stuff, Self7 Comments

So once again the best laid plans and all that… no chance to get the rest of the posts up that I wanted to accomplish. Never fear, a post about October is here. Once again, busy busy. However, a couple…

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.
