FAB TITLE BY FMF (AND BBB)

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

yes, the last we heard from Lullabyloo she was going for the day out to Greenwich, pre hospital visit. LL, are you ok? Did your DS have a lovely day?
Zipi was last heard of driving to Oxford, maybe she kept on going and is on the Welsh coast? Something very soothing about the sea when you're down.

No i'm here. I'm looking through my one good eye, risking that too, just to keep up with that funny stainless steel fetish thread. It has to be Greeny doesn't it?.

I neeeeed lemonade.

I'm never ever drinking again. Or leaving my house. Or answering the phone. A friend popped by to say hello, and the effort of pretending to be normal for ten minutes made me sick again. She was backing away from me, she knew i was a one eyed freak, with wild hair and green complexion.

BBBee · 19/08/2007 22:04

I am still feeling a bit ill and crap and late last night I started watchin thig AWFUL dvd called 'crush' which is badly written and jumpy and cliched and now I have to go downstairs and watch the end of it because I am weird like that.

Staihnless steel thing is crazy - it is so funny but always part of me wonders taht it might be true and then I get all concenred.

Boco - have some black tea with sugar

Tatties · 19/08/2007 22:10

Woooo-hoooooo! She's going to use my title! [joy]

Franny I want to email you about something but my email is playing up tonight

FrayedKnot · 19/08/2007 22:13

Oh god it would have to be exercise wouldn;t it

I was all set for tomorrow foodwise

The rowing machine sits brooding in the spare room...

FrannyandZooey · 19/08/2007 22:35

Food AND exercise FrayedKnot

Or Else

Tatties oh bother

I don't actually think it's Greeny this time. I can't quite put my finger on who it is, though. It's very good.

Boot camp sounds scary. I thought this was a nice safe thread (I too rarely venture into wider MN these days).

Dd1 went off to Guide camp today - back Thursday. I feel rather as if a bit of me is missing. She has wisely padlocked her bedroom door so the boys will not be able to wreak havoc. So ODD not knowing what she is doing at any time. Hoping Horrid Girl is being kept in check - she must not be allowed to ruin it for dd1.

Ds2 made banana and honey cake today and ds1 made extra lemony lemon and orange drizzle cake with chunks of lemon. So I have been eating cake

thanks for the welcome!

Im definitely not one of the skinny feeders!I even get postpartum overactive thyroid and the one sympyom I dont get is weightloss!! Baby is 5 weeks so I thought this would be good to change habits rather than going on an official diet, which I need but am so not ready for.

FrannyandZooey · 20/08/2007 08:37
