***edited on October 16, 2010*** – please also see this post – I know many of you are seeing this post for the first time that I wrote in January. You should know that since then I have embraced these…

Don't be such a baby

I find quite often that I’m conflicted in my head about food, treats, eating, not eating, being denied something, etc. I mean, in essence, food is sustenance, right? So when we feel like we are being denied, we go through…

Get it together

My brain is not in the right place to get it together, when it comes to food. Or rather, when it comes to dinner. Here I go again… making my way through a perfectly planned day, only to come home…

Lost and Gained

I found out recently that somewhere around the end of 2008, the scale at home screamed a painful and loud 98.7 KG at me. Yesterday I got on the scale and it was a bit friendlier at 81.7KG. That’s 17…

No WW Meeting

30 December, 2009 Pinky @lowfatpieWeight Watchers2 Comments

I missed several WW meetings this month, after only recently switching from FlexPoints to ProPoints – various reasons kept me from going but it was mostly my back; with 3 weeks being at home in Arnhem, I was hardly going to make…

I know this time of year is really hard on a lot of people in their quest to lose weight and get fit. I know there are tons of temptations and dinners and parties and baked goods. I know there…

Ridiculousness and My Biggest Food Mistake this week

16 December, 200920 July, 2010 Pinky @lowfatpieFood, Mind2 Comments

As my mood goes up and down from this whole foot and back fiasco, so does my eating. It’s crazy and ridiculous and it’s never actually made me feel better. At all. Obviously I’m not stupid and I know this…

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.
