What’s that saying about the “best laid plans”? I had some good plans for this week. Sunday mid-day I already had planned and prepared my food for Monday. I tracked, ate well, drank my water. I even made cupcakes with…

Oh Boy. I don’t know how else to describe the last week. Remember I said this: Improvement areas are: gym, and my 100 pushups and 200 sit-ups programs. I did not get to Day 3 of Week 1/ Week 3…

I didn’t mean to be away this long. Actually things are going quite well. I’m losing weight, I’m losing almost every day – in fact just been tracking the last 2 weeks and I’m down 4KG on my own scale,…

On Sunday, Hubs and I went to Amsterdam to run in the Zuidas Business Run 2010. There were two courses we could sign up for, a 16K and a 6K. Considering the fact that we had only just done a…

The Hunger: Part Deux

I wanted to follow up a bit on my post from yesterday. Coincidentally, I am listening to the Two Fit Chicks podcast where the first question that they are discussing is about Hunger during weight loss. It’s nice to know…

The Hunger

What is it about hunger that makes us feel so uncomfortable? What is it about hunger that makes ME feel so uncomfortable?? I can not ever remember a time in my life where I worried about whether I would have…

Not only is this the size of my jeans, but it’s the age I will be on my next birthday. Seems very appropriate. I took these photos on April 13th, 2010. My goal is not a scale related goal, it’s…

Confession Time

I got on my scale Thursday. I lasted a whole week avoiding the scale. I didn’t have a breakdown when I got on it (even though it’s at *that* number again – 82.3KG). The world didn’t end. I didn’t become…

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.
