Or run with them anyway? On Monday we went running again. Across the street from where I live (I’m in those flats you see in the distance): Just so you have an idea, I live in the 2nd largest city…

Today is the 9th day in a row that I’ve done some sort of activity. Now that isn’t much really if you think about it. I mean, if you want to talk about someone making a an effort to move…

Perhaps it makes no sense, the title of this blog. Because of course when you are hard-core on program and losing weight you are already reclaiming your life right? Because when you are overweight you can’t do all of those…

Easter Monday Bike Ride

Here in Europe, most of us have had a long weekend for Easter. We don’t really celebrate religiously ourselves so for us it was just a nice long weekend. We did have a special brunch (which hubs shopped for and…

Am I happy?

5 April, 2010 Pinky @lowfatpieSelf2 Comments

Mish asked me if I was happy with myself in my Trigger Unhappy post. I just want to say, yes, I am happy. Or at least I am a lot happier than I was a few years ago. There…

I'll take a new attitude, for $100, Alex

4 April, 2010 Pinky @lowfatpieSelf2 Comments

Gaaarg I feel like a real Cranky McButterpants lately. I’m opting now for a new attitude. I am going to think about at least one positive thing per day about myself and embrace it instead of putting it in the…

Trigger Unhappy

The last couple of weeks have been less than stellar food-wise. Either I’ve been overeating at dinner, not planning/preparing my food for the day or eating chocolate. Not one or two chocolates. A LOT of chocolate. My weigh-in on Thursday…

As you all know, on Sunday 28th March I participated in my very first race. And, as you all know, this is a pretty big deal considering that I only started running a year ago. At well over 200lbs too!…

Fact: People don’t care what you ate or plan on eating today I read this once – OK so maybe it’s not a fact per se. just the general consensus. Whatever. I need to write it down. I need to…

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.
