Sean took me to the Cartier exhibit yesterday (said if he can't afford to buy me diamonds, he can definitely show me the best!), and my head is still spinning from such exquisite pieces of jewelry.

If I can count my running miles along with my cycling, I am still part of the challenge. I admit, I did nothing last week but I am ready to get back on board.

Those roasted tomatoes are one of my favourite things..... and, I'm a big fan of Noel's CRU. I love the fact that she is doing the research and I can just go and get the ingredients and eat it !!<br />Beautiful, classy outfit and fabulous jewellery. <br />Hoping that your cycling chums get back on track, Sande.

They'd look fabulous with the navy outfit. <br /><br />Your cherry tomatoes have inspired me. I think I'll roast some tomorrow night. I just bought a lovely hunk of parmigiano-reggiano, so I'll shave a little on top. Can almost taste it already. I've been eating a lot of MUFA foods, and it has been helping me lose weight this spring. Have you tried this? I usually struggle with my weight, and this, combined with a lot of walking, actually helps me! I almost can't believe it. <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful week! xoGigi Thibodeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326335927273800932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-9939294641851252372010-04-18T21:36:17.851-04:002010-04-18T21:36:17.851-04:00Wonderful image.

No meat, coffee, salt, sugar, dairy or anything with refined or processed inclusions.. Half way there now!<br /><br />I LOVE the navy outfit. So me. <br />You will look gorgeous in that colour!<br /><br />Also love the Tiger eye ring and bracelet. One of my favourite semi precious stones.

Since I am biking for two does that mean I can go half the distance? Just kidding. The extra weight added to my bike does make for some interesting uphill cycling!<br />So, yes, I am now cycling now that Amelia can accompany me, and I am enjoying fresh spinach and Swiss chard from my garden with my favorite vinagrette -Herbes de Provence! Perhaps I will share some photos soon.<br /><br />Mandyà la parisiennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610939439087475827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-83218677336391380432010-04-18T17:41:17.433-04:002010-04-18T17:41:17.433-04:00I just sent you an email with my distance.
