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

My lemon face is MUCH betterer than yours

lionheart · 25/03/2007 18:00

I should do this--my diet is diabolical.

FrannyandZooey · 25/03/2007 20:52

Welcome Nutty and welcome lionheart, please do join in

I must admit I like Tatties' lemon face the best and I am in fact quite jealous I didn't think of it myself

however I have just made up this one and would like suggestions as to what to use it for

My lemon face is FAR better than either of yours, and YOU KNOW IT

WHY am I surrounded by fools

FrannyandZooey · 25/03/2007 21:41

Well my face does NOT look like that when I am sucking a lemon

it looks more like this:

honest

maybe your lemons are sourer than ours? Or maybe someone is giving you a rectal axamination while you are eating them?

Tatties · 25/03/2007 22:11

Well my lemon face is just the genius fusion of Franny and Greeny... so don't think I'm really due any credit

Franny I don't like your new face - it looks bound and gagged

I think Nutty and Lionheart may get more sense out of us next week?

lionheart · 25/03/2007 22:11

Competitive fruit facing isn't one of the unfortunate side-effects of this ten a day plan, by any chance? .

TWISTY

FrannyandZooey · 25/03/2007 22:46

Lionheart I think this is just letting off a little bit of steam before we begin a fine new upstanding sensible thread tomorrow

Yes Tatties you are right as usual, this is definitely my new S+M bondage smiley:

Cranks have a good lemonade recipe, can type it out if you want - or perhaps you have sucked them all by now in the name of face research.

Ah I have made it TooTicky! It was 1 cup of sugar heated up with 1 cup of water, then add 1 cup lemon juice, then dilute with 5 cups of cold water and chill

It was v v v v nice

TooTicky · 25/03/2007 22:53

My dcs usually request it on hot days when I really don't want to be faffing about in the kitchen, so I make it and they taste it politely and say, "Mmmmm, delicious, but you can finish it mum."
Pancakes are more reliable - each lemon only seems to dress 3 or 4 pancakes.

FrannyandZooey · 25/03/2007 23:32

No, honestly, it was INSPIRED. I will email it to you

FrannyandZooey · 26/03/2007 08:27

Well I liked it better when the sticky out bits were my hair. I admit to the twisty face but I don't think I have bow legs as well???

and you will give yourself indigestion if you keep rucking all the time
