Quit What?

30 August, 2011 RenéeBody, Mind, Self4 Comments on Quit What?

I really wanted to start writing more often and had visions of brilliant prose flowing from my brain to my fingers on a regular basis. The reality is, I haven’t got a lot to say, and even when I try…

That thing about Weigh-In Day

23 August, 2011 RenéeBody, Mind4 Comments on That thing about Weigh-In Day

To be honest, I saw this pattern a long, long time ago and yet I still let it mentally bother me each time it happened. Whenever I would weigh-in, I would somehow, somewhere throughout the day go overboard with food.…

A Confession out of Sheer Desperation

24 May, 2011 RenéeBody, epiphany, Mind, Self8 Comments on A Confession out of Sheer Desperation

Well, it’s confession time folks. Remember when I quit Weight Watchers because I’d had enough? Enough of trying to make ProPoints work for me. Enough of feeling like a failure. Enough of feeling miserable because I was hungry. I could…

Thanks. I needed that!

22 May, 2011 RenéeBody, Exercise, Mind1 Comment on Thanks. I needed that!

I haven’t run for two weeks. In fact I’ve hardly done anything. What with my parents being here, plus the travel and then the exhaustion from work on top of that it just wasn’t happening. But today I decided to…

Running on Strava – Let’s connect!

Fresh out of the oven, or crusty old pie, you choose:

Team Pie

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.

Contact Me

I love to comments and hearing from people regarding pretty much anything, so please feel free to contact me at any time! I'm not a professional by any means, but I love to share stories, tips and tricks, commiserations, celebrations and of course a good slice of pie (if you've got one on offer)
