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.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg here

and more detailed information here

I did not even have to resize it, it was fine

No it was not too racy but I know how some people on here's minds work

Sorry Frances, you mean it DOES count, but the fibre effect is lessened? >

Lol tis ok, i was slobbing about then very much as i am now, not sure how i got my foot in the picture to looks like it's at a funny angle, must be minr though dp's is twice the size and hairy!

Pan it counts for 1

the same as fruit juice

I mean no matter how much fruit you put in, you can't count it as more than one portion, because you are getting the vitamins and so on but not the fibre, which is a large part of the health-giving thing. Does that make sense?

Right i'm off to bed now all this sitting on my arse has made me tired

Nighty Night, sweet dreams

It does, Frances. Thank you.

Ok. Cat rescued from inferno.
(you know it's the same stupid cat every morning!)

Missing Charleeee's pom poms, but offski to gym - and determined to hit the 10 for the first time in a long time....have lovely, shiny days my fellow munchers.

oh, just remembered, my friend will have her laptop this morning at work, so will be able to check in as the day goes on!! "Lucky us!" I hear you shout....

I have my bircher 4 already and am singing I Should Be So Lucky by Kylie

thinking too that perhaps we could have a pulses thread for those with their training wheels still on... here

I forgot to put a link to Charlee's pic on here

the real thing (sans pompoms

I am eating fruit as I speak. Well, type. Speaking while you are eating is not polite.

oh ffs.

I can resist the fruit shoot threads, I can resist the free socks threads and I can resist the children's book threads.

I cannot, however, resist showing off about my fruit and vegetable consumption....

hmmm, I have been snared again.... hmmm...interesting....

(I just came on to find franny's flapjack recipe, ffs)

oh shit, you've also got to exercise.

am off to watch the kids at soft play.

i will be sitting writing an essay.

does that count?

aHA!
i spy Fillyjonk!
hurrah!
we have sucked you back iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn
hahahahaha

FILLYJONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

I mean hello fillyjonk Ive missed you

And if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go chassin' the nuns out in the yard
And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
And I will never need umbrellas in the rain
I'll wake up in strawberry fields every day
And the atrocities of school I can forgive
The happy phantom has no right to bitch
oo who
The time is getting closer
oo who
Time to be a ghost
oo who
Every day we're getting closer
The sun is geting dim
Will we pay for who we been

and then some more....

oh shit, was that song wildly inappropriate?

have just scanned it.

i do like it a lot.

sorry if its wildly inappropriate.

oh ffs, fj, crawl back into the hole.

FILLY JONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNk

hey hey hey young lady

you can't just post and run like that

come back and brag about your pulse consumption, then post a humorous picture of Charlee. It's the law.

She has run, so here are some instructions in the meantime

this

Helllloooooooooo!

Sorry i wasn't around this morning i rather overslept then had to run out the door to get to my physio appointment. I have carpal tunnel syndrome so i was ment to go just for a splint but ended up there for hours posing as the staff's entertainment! Apparently they have never seen some one so bendy so they had me doing all sorts of bizare stretches! cheeky buggers

I did however manage to grab some fruit and a bottle of water from the hospital shop before i went in and im planning on having a stir fry for dinner so will add lots of veg in that.

I have been planting next springs bulbs in the garden which involves lots of bending and what with my preformance at the hospital this moring i feel i have done more than enough excersise today

"they have never seen some one so bendy"

LOLOL

Oh Charlee you are a HOOT
