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

312 replies

FrannyandZooey · 04/09/2006 07:44

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.

Your all as mad as a bag of badgers tonight i see!

Im so bored i could eat my own arse for sheer entertainment, i have just watched 'How Clean Is Your House' and 'You Are What You Eat' im not a personal fan of Gillian McKeith she's far to fond of poo for my liking but i couldn;t live on the crap that family were i simply must have my daily elephant portions of fruit!

I have spent another evening with my chook's de-scaling thier legs......... lovley!
I'm turning into a farmer's wife cant you just see me in my wellies now with a ere of corn out my mouth?

I looks something like this

Not nearly as attractive as my cheerleader outfit! Luckily i am a lady of many uniforms!

Tourist: Are you going to shear that sheep?

Grizzled Aussie farmer with a thick accent: Nah, mate!! You can git your own.....

Charlee this is more or less how I really see you

(don't know where this obsession with linking to pictures of Charlee came from - you will have to post a real photo Charlee and put us out of our misery)

Oh I have failed, utterly. No 10 portions for me tonight - but tomorrow I will eat 15 and go to the gym

Acting on imPULSES and lentils, discover our Tesco don't sell lentils/slit peas, and the rest of the panopoly of essential foodstuffs....not enough profit in it for them I reckon. Bastards!

So, need to queue up with the great unwashed at some "independent" health food shop....whilst humming a Levellers song....

Charleesunnysunsun · 06/09/2006 21:30

Hmmmmmm i'm not blonde and i don;t wear silly hats though every picture of me does involve a stupid look on my face!

I would post a picture but i can never resize the buggers!

Charlee email it to me at frannyandzooey at india dot com if you really want to post one - I can resize it for you.

How can you not have blonde curly hair? You are some sort of imposter.

Pan1 · 06/09/2006 21:35

I have Charleeeeee with shoulder-length auburny hair........

Charleesunnysunsun · 06/09/2006 21:37

Lol i have sent it franny!

Be prepared to be bitterly dissapointed! I am vair short dumpy with huge boobs and long vair dark hair but with a touch of red in it! Also wear glasses.

Tis not a good photo but i'm afraid such thing doesn't exist.

It was also taken 2 yrs ago, i lost quite a bit of wieght but now as im 7 1/2 months pregnant i have put it back on!

Pan1 · 06/09/2006 21:41

No such thing as being disappointed. If you ra-ra thats fine.

Charleesunnysunsun · 06/09/2006 21:52

Do you know i ACTUALLY used to be a cheerleader in real life................................................................................................

No really i did!

I have no photo's though, i never looked like one of the blonde birds from american highschool movies!

I used to wear a little tiny pleated red skirt with red knickers and a white and red fitted t-shirt and red and white pom poms!

Now not alot of people know that! feel privaliged!

Charlee I will go and check it out now so hold moment

do you definitely want me to post it on here though?

Pan1 · 06/09/2006 21:55

Technical question, please?

I have read that to re-size your fruit in a blender doesn't count toward your 5 portions, as (not clear on this bit) your body has to break down the fruit for it to count....

But, surely whizzing it just replaces the masticating(steady) element.

Any guidance from the Fruit and Veg. Help Desk?

Pan1 · 06/09/2006 21:56

Charleeeeee.!!...feeling more than just a little privileged...........

Pan1 · 06/09/2006 21:57

Charleesunnysunsun · 06/09/2006 21:58

Yeah that picture was on here when it was actually taken 2 yrs ago so it can go on again! It's nothing that wil scare anyone toooooooo much!

If you have a moment you could photoshop me some better hair, smaller boobs and slightly thinner?

Oh what the heck just stick on a photo of Jenifer Aniston and tell them it's me!

I suppose you have to put it in member profiles, unless there's any other way? I don't mind putting it on though like i say it's been on here before!

We were having a troll problem at the time she posted saying i needed to join Wieght Watchers desperatly! {shock] cheeky cow!
She said alot of nasty things about a lot of people though so i just told her to p*ss off!

Charleesunnysunsun · 06/09/2006 21:59

Thanks Franny that's very nice

Pan i have no idea about blending i just stuff my face with it as it comes out the supermarket!

FrannyandZooey · 06/09/2006 22:00

Pan I think you can count blended fruit as 1 portion of your 5. The fibre is broken down in the blender rather than being processed by your body - your chewing the fruit does not break down the cellulose completely as it does in the blender (I think I am right here but some science bod please correct me).

Charlee your hair and boobs are fab my dear

I will go and have a try at posting it

Charleesunnysunsun · 06/09/2006 22:05

Its not that racey is it!

I was curled up on the sofa and dp took it to have as the picture when his phone rang, it ended up on here as it's kind of a close up.

Quite frankly my dear with the people on this thread im sure nothing can lower the tone that much Thier all rebels!
