April in Paris...

 Monday after Easter and it's 90F outside. Not only has the temperature been rising, so has my menopausal weight. I don't get it: I eat very healthfully, and very lightly at that. I'm fairly active (what are the stats on how many people per 100 are training for a marathon?). I think mine is a typical, at least 'normal' level of stress (job, family, husband  - lol) and my lifestyle, while not at all my 'ideal,' is not all that bad. My doc says to eat more fruits and veggies. Umm...I don't think my doc quite 'gets' the fact that I'm from California, granola land, we eat so many fruits and veggies we have become them, LOL!

In the book, "French Women Don't Get Fat," Mireille Guiliano, Pres. and CEO of Clicquot, Inc. (as in Veuve Clicquot champagne), promises that, if you follow her plan to eat real food with the joy of a Frenchwoman, you'll be just as trim.

Well...I lived in France a while and certainly did eat real food with much joy. So, today I'm tossing out the 10-day plans and whatever else! Vive la France, le pain et le gateau! I'll probably still feel like a dancing hippo at my niece's wedding this weekend, but, what the heck. It's April and I'm pretending I'm back in Paris, strolling through the Quartier Latin and filling my little canvas shopping bag with delectables from the open market, the patisserie, the boulangerie, the whatever-ie.

bon appetit
