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 you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

Toot thankyou....knights are good...guns...umm not so good.
That cake sounds fab....franny's banana cake is in the oven as we speak so no banana's left but will definately try that this week
I get my paste from local organic shop ..about £4 i think

Avi...i madeyour lentil burgers for lunch with mushrooms & brazils & a mushroomy sauce.....tres delicious...couldn't stop eating them

am persuading dh to eat more & more healthy meals & snacks which is very pleasing.I really am dismayed at the amount of tat he eats...especially at the w/e in front of ds

ds aspires to growing up into a man so that he can eat'yucky crisps,pizza & beer' it's copious amounts of sugar laden tea & coffee,biscuits,coke,lucazade,white bread,margarine,cheese,yucky ham,crisps,pizza,crackers...........yet he is uber slim,athletic,sport mad...but drinks too much & eats crap
BAH!!!!!!!
He has been feeling very odd lately..dizzy,sick etc...went for check up & heart rate is v.low...40
Dr thinks he is heading for a bi pass & must slow down.

Lullabyloo · 23/07/2007 14:51

oh...said burgers & green salad for lunch

brown rice & roasted courgettes,peppers,onions,garlic,fennel,tomatoes,aubergines,basil & pinenuts for supper.

dh took thermos of lentil soup & squash bread,apricots & piece of blueberry & pear cake to work [proud]

TooTicky · 23/07/2007 14:59

I'm not keen on the guns either. Ds1 used to lose them very quickly, but I have found lots. Some slightly chewed

Oh, Franneeeeeeeee, I have had my haircut

Lullabyloo · 23/07/2007 15:34

Toot.....you look beeeeeeeautiful

MrsCarrot · 23/07/2007 15:41

Lullabyloo · 23/07/2007 15:50

FrannyandZooey · 23/07/2007 16:10

Lullaby sorry to hear about dh. Still can't believe anyone would live with you and choose to eat all that tat You are wasted on him.

3andnomore, your name is NOT a spoiler. They really need to read faster if they are that bothered. I think they are being silly

Sorry to hear about troubles with implant. I hope everything goes ok.

I do my links like this

\link {http:// whatever the address is \ your description here }

but without any spaces. I can't get used to the new way, mutter mutter, I'm remember when this was all fields you know.

FrannyandZooey · 23/07/2007 16:12

TooT what does your hair look like now then? I still owe you some money, btw, even when Lullaby sorts you out.

FrannyandZooey · 23/07/2007 16:13

Oh I have eaten some blueberries, grapes and half a banana. And dragged my son's all too solid body half way across town in the trailer.

lionheart · 23/07/2007 16:21

Have had cherries, banana, apple and raisins.

Are you gonna post a pic or not, TooT?

Lullabyloo · 23/07/2007 16:24

Malfoynomore · 23/07/2007 16:38

And Franny glad it isn't actually a spoiler....phew....lol.... !
And that is how I used to do my links and then suddenly it didn't work anymore and then I saw that they changed the text down below where it explains how to do links...hmmm... confused now....saying that I managed to do a link wihtout the " either side anyway, I realised you didn't actually need to copy those, lol!
Lol Toot...I also thought you had a pic of yourself there
And I just had a look at people's pictures and there are some beautyful Kids around

Filchymindedvixen · 23/07/2007 17:39

clicks on link. Sees new thread title. head explodes.....

TooTicky · 23/07/2007 17:45

No, really, that is me!

Filchymindedvixen · 23/07/2007 17:46

ok, I see you might not have liked the halitosis bit. But after due consuderation I came up with
Super Caulies, Vegi-tastic, Vit C in big doses...
which scans rather well no?
You can save that for another day F&V.

I was dispirited yesterday cos dh went away for a week leaving me facing the fist day of the school hols and a sick child. His brother bouncing around saying ''can wee do this, can we go there..''and t'other one was fast asleep on the sofa with a ginorous temperature and swollen glands.. But tis all ok today.

Am feasting on peppers, mushrooms, spinach, pak choi, sugarsnaps, andcarrots in a ginger and poppy seed stir fry. With oodles of fruit for pud. And that lovely onken apricot yoghurt with wheatgermy bits, i love my food when dh is away...

pinkspottywellies · 23/07/2007 18:49

Franny have you just spoiled it? Now do we know who doesn't die

Lullabyloo · 23/07/2007 18:51

absolutely no picking on franny allowed

BocoBeak · 23/07/2007 18:59

I have eaten mango, tomatoes, spinach, pepper, mushrooms, red onion, and raisins.

First day of the holidays have been taxing. DDs have argued and fought and shouted alot.

dd1 aged 5 has terrifyingly transformed from a sweet and delightful child into some kind of monstrous ogre.

She's told me at least 3 times that she will NEVER speak to me again. She's started stomping and banging and arguing back. It's a bit of a shock actually, we're all fairly laid back and non argumentative in this house, and i'm not really sure who she is. She stood with her arms crossed and bottom lip out saying 'mummy you don't even LISTEN to me and yuo don't even UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!' and i had a frightening vision of the future with a teenager. And she's 5.

Aaaggghhh.

FrannyandZooey · 23/07/2007 19:05

look there are loads of Malfoys, aren't there? They do NOT all die. If that is a spoiler and has upset you, I apologise, but I would respectfully suggest that if you haven't read it yet and don't want any tiny bit of it spoiled for you

GET OFF THE INTERNET AND GET READING THE FECKER

LOL at FMF's "vit c in big doses"

Boco, sympathy for premature teenagehood

pinkspottywellies · 23/07/2007 19:23

ROFLOL Franny! I shall remove myself from the internet forthwith and start reading! I started to read the half-blood prince again but I think I've remembered the jist of it now so I'm going to start on the new one tonight.

Today I've had raisins, banana, cucumber, nectarine, kiwi, BIG salad (made by dh - round of applause please. He hates cooking) cake with walnuts and I'll have more fruit tonight. Oh and hazlenuts in the nutella that I had on 3 slices of toast this morning. (Forgive me MN for I have sinned!)

Boco sorry to hear about your little diva!

What is umeboshi?

Avi - are you having to go back to work?

FrannyandZooey · 23/07/2007 19:25

PSW I am just jealous that I haven't got the excitement ahead of me

DP is cooking a Normous stir fry

Filchymindedvixen · 23/07/2007 20:09

pinkspottywellies · 23/07/2007 21:01

Franny - there's a new mooncup thread. Are you still selling them? Looks like you might get some interest from that thread.

I'm going to read HP now and maybe eat chocolate brownies. They have walnuts in
