Hello all
I am resurrecting an old tradition of boosting general health by committing to doing at least 10 mins of exercise and aiming for 10 portions of Fruit and veg a day.
The old threads always had genius titles - a particular favourite being aaah Leek out, le leek, c'est chic"

Heres hoping

Dont want to be up against bodycombat
Oh yes, 10 was for h20 iirc
I.e. roughly 10 cups
May be bollocks nonsense but I could probably do with a bit more hydration

@FrannyandZooey

I don't do any real work either, I just cuddle babies and gather bark and stuff
No change there then Wink

I am doing appallingly. No wonder I am knackered.

OliviaMumsnet · 10/10/2011 22:36

I had porridge for breakfast - it was a poncey indiv portioned one with apple and raisins but my god the portion was TITCHY so I had to have 5 biscuits in a meeting not 1.5 hours later
Apple
Banana
Salad (sweetcorn (which surely doesn't count as is cattlefeed?) cuc, lettuce, avo)

and then more courgette and carrot with supper
Do yoghurt covered raisins count??

I make that 9 but I reckon it's not proper portion sizes

Sad

Aviatrix I have misremembered. (not uncommon) so the 10/10/10 will be gone for the next thread.

I have been to the gym
Did 40mins roughly
Also had "vital" statistics done with one of those terrifying scale things.
I do feel fab though. All that endorphin nonsense.

So am vegging with a vengeance
Had apple and raisin with my porridge (I'd say 1 portion total)
Banana after workout (get me I went for a workout)
Lunch is toms, cherry toms (do they count as separate?)
cucumber, carrot and mixed leaves
(is that 7?)

[quote FrannyandZooey]guys, you have got to check the portion charts linked earlier by Avi and me

sorry to be pedantic but that is what 10/10 meant, 10 full portions a day, if you want to get there you need to look at the chart here: www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Documents/Downloads/5ADAY_portion_guide.pdf[/quote]

Off to check and print out, miss.

@FourThousandHoles

Do you have a point? Grin
