Roll Up You Fruit Freaks, for the 10/10 club week 5

[FrannyandZooey]

For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY

(if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion)

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY

(can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more)

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being.

Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Help, help, I´m trapped in a tree save me, save me from fruit and vege starvation.

I am doing the morning tea at playgroup today and its black seedless grapes, apple, banana and bread. The sun is back and I would do a cheer with charlee, if I can find some leaves for a costume, and once I´m saved, of course

Ooh help help I am stuck too . I am the yellow one.

are you sure you want to see me little yellow book?

Save me, save me I am over here

Pap - What ever were you doing to get stuck in a tree in that position clearly in the nude!

I just hope Panman is around with his ladder and hose to help!

Franny here is a costume if you wanted one, you could be the thread mascot vair sexy

Now panman im interested are you a hunky fireman or one of the plumper, sweaty bearded ones that came to my house when our alarm went off?

Well im actually NOT shopping today! Shock horror!

RA RA RA RA!

I prefer this outfit Charlee

Paps I don't think it will be long before someone comes to rescue you

Ahem.

Has anyone actually eaten any fruit or veg. or done any exercise? < I appreciate I'm being a nuisance>

JUST SEEN PAPS IN THE TREE!!

Don't go anywhere!(?) - will there in a mo. with my extendable ladder.(!)

Yup that is me aviatrix We have two inches of floor space left over so that we can open the wardrobe.

Pleased to see you back on form, Pan, I was worried your killjoy side was creeping back again

omg did you see there is a detox thread just next door

or was till i bumped it up

oh,
I am so not nude I have wings on and leaves handy, also was wrapped round a tree, until saved by the lovely firepan

I really was impressed and lol at your aubergines franny and is that a chilli stutter between them

aviatrix we have a big bed but not world famous on MN, it is made larger by two singles on either side - its a large room and not much else in it thankfully

A smelly moggy from a burning house before breakfast, a beautiful (only semi-naked) papillon from a tree branch shortly after.....well that's MY exercise for the day.....

had two navels (!), a mexican bean salad, so far...struggling on the veg. front.....need to keep my strength up though........

help! help!I need a fireman too as I can't get down at all but I promise to help polish up your helmet in return

3 miles walking, salad and melon for lunch, plums for snack, banana and date loaf (home-made) as, er, another snack and tortillas with red peppers, onions, and salad for dinner. And, no wine for 2 days! Can you see my glowing healthyness from there?

Evening all

I have eaten a ton of fruit as usual today, mostly peaches in fact i think im looking a little more round, fuzzy and bottom like already after all they say if you eat something enough you will end up looking like it!

I also had salad and tuna in a tortilla wrap for lunch with an apple on the side and am about to eat a veggie packed stew for dinner.

As for excersise i had to do the Chickens for mite's today - have you ever tried to chase one of those buggers around? That's more energetic than Panman up and down his tree's

Aaaaagh !!

FMF - very winsome smile, but those shoes!!

Wait til autumn and she can fall off with the leaves......(but surprised the weight of those shoes aren't dragging her down......~)

We ate a vegetable soup that was very thick for dinner, will post on other thread - pumpkin, potato, leeks, tomato and broccoli. Had heaps of fruit from the playgroup left over to consume in the afternoon. Think it gets close to 10 for today.

Firepan I don´t wish for the reputation of resident harlot, especially when I such classy dames as FMF to contend with! So I will demurely refrain from calling on your services in the ´pm´period

Goodness me, what happened in here?

Ahem.

I have had muesli (1), a grapefruit (2), a couple of big tomatoes (2), a giant bowl of salad (3), a decent amount of braised red cabbage (2) and a cob and a half of sweetcorn (1). Which is 11.

I did four 10-minute bike rides. No running, I still don't feel like it. Still a bit off-colour with the jetlag.

Firemen don't actually rescue cats from trees. Trust me, I know.

But they do rescue beautiful papillons. This I do know.

I have been at the gym all ruddy evening and am actually too shagged to post any innuendo. This is a sad day in the F&Z household.

My fingers are too tired to count but I have eaten shed loads of stuff and I am eating more right now.

Oh, I meant to ask, F&Z, how are your quads? Are they alarming yet?

No-oo, I don't think so....are they the bit above your knee? My legs are coming on slower than my arms, I think. My arms are ruddy marvellous (well for a skinny bird anyway )

My dodgy knee is definitely getting better, though. I am doing sort of supported squats against the wall with a fit ball, and can now do them holding 2 kg weights with a 5 sec pause at the bottom. I am really pleased.

Oh, I'm really glad to hear that. Having dodgy knees sucks.
