In hindsight, especially after my whingefest, it was a good week. So I went out and had two off days. That’s better than a lot of other weeks I’ve had! I did not do everything I said I was going…

OK. Seriously?

Before I do a proper update for this week… I just want to say… Seriously???? It wasn’t a perfect week, but 5/7 days completely on, working out like crazy, making sure I did everything right and the scale is staying…

Variation? But how?

I am struggling a little bit with variation – at the moment I’m pretty much eating the same things every day. This is easy of course to do as I can prepare a lot of things in advance or very…

Last week, these were my goals. So how’d I do? This week I’d like to: 1) track at least 3 days. a FULL three days. 2) go to the gym at least twice 3) go for a run at least…

Trying something a little different

2 February, 2010 Pinky @lowfatpieWeight Watchers2 Comments

This week I’m trying something a little different. I have focused on reaching my daily alloted points (29) and not going over. Technically though, I have 49 additional points I can spend on whatever I want. As I don’t honestly eat…

Several weeks ago a challenge I am involved in asked us to clear out our cupboards and refrigerator to get rid of all bad stuff and replace it with only healthy stuff. I went in, fully prepared to fill up…

Oh How Embarrassing

Moving right along. It’s Sunday and I’m packing my bag for the gym. I’ve got some new music on my iPod and I’m even going to brave the snow and go out on my bike to get to the gym.…

Better. But Apparently Boring.

This week? Much, much better. First off, last week I said So, how about a do-over. How about just a couple of things: 1) I will go to Zumba on Tuesday night and gym on Thursday 2) I will track at…

Tuesday is a wrap

I did not track today. Not on paper, but in my head. I’m good in all areas. Fruit, veg, healthy oils, etc. I definitely kicked ass in the nutrition department, and I’m ready for Wednesday. I’m about to pulverize some…

Not Funny, Clever, Famous or Glamourous

But just me. And today I kicked ass. Finally. How did I kick ass? Well. Perhaps it’s not an ass-kicking like climbing 96 flights of stairs in record time, running 10 miles at lunch or doing TurboJam before work. In…

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.
