Week in Review:: Stop the World I want to get off Edition

18 December, 2011 RenéeBody, Exercise, Food, Self6 Comments on Week in Review:: Stop the World I want to get off Edition

Another week in review and to be quite honest with you it was almost the same as the last. Busy, hectic, too much to do, too tired, too packed full of stuff. In fact if I think about it now…

My brain is against me lately. Not just with regards to my body, with everything. It was an emotional week for me to say the least. I was headhunted again and this time for a company very close to where…

The Diet Mentality

16 March, 201116 March, 2011 Renéeepiphany, Mind, Self20 Comments on The Diet Mentality

Disclaimer: This is not a happy post, but rather a bitter one. It’s something I realized, while I was on holiday in the States, that I am still completely brainwashed from following Weight Watchers for so long. I know the…

10 January, 201110 January, 2011 RenéeMind, Self7 Comments on Positive Post: Monday Reflections and Ten Things

Last week was a mixture of the good stuff and the not so good stuff. Stress is a fairly common factor in my life at the moment, at least when it comes to work. It was probably the worst week…

More Running, less Whinging.

2 January, 2011 RenéeBody, Mind, Self, Weight Watchers16 Comments on More Running, less Whinging.

Every new year I imagine myself as one of those people who come up with brilliant goals and resolutions and every year I pretty much come up with not-a-whole-lot. In 2010 I lost exactly 1 kilogram of weight, which was…

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)
