"I crack the whip, and you skip" - 10 / 10 Boot Camp

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

I sympathise Franny, i have a funny top half too, but my red dress looks lovely doesn't it.

FrannyandZooey · 25/08/2007 23:52

We're wearing t-shirts with our MN names printed on them in sparkly vinyl

erm

I have asked dp to do a bit of research as I would feel awful about getting probably sweatshop produced, non-organic, probably Uzbek cotton - which are obviously the very cheapest. One can go up to organic or bamboo-organic cotton mix...how do people feel? Will get dp to do prices.

Yes I did Frances. Thank you for it. I am listening carefully to this talk of t-shirts and vinyl.

FrannyandZooey · 25/08/2007 23:54

Can I really send one? I am not wearing a t-shirt that I can't try on first

TooT I am not sure if people are really going to go ahead and wear the t-shirts. Are they? Are you? Are you all going to get cold feet?

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 25/08/2007 23:55

you see we are going to put 100 off with the vinyl t-shirts

she won't come

Aviatrix, DP can't help with childcare that weekend, it is something I rerspect and agree what he has on that w/e is even more important than my conference, it really is - not being all female and martyrish here, just objective. If only the other academics were lentil weavers and wouldn't mind if I took DS with me. He'd chirrup away to himself, he rarely ever cries, just cheery and burbling, but it would be Frowned Upon.
Boco, you are scary, that's another reason to add to my list why i'm not coming to the meet up.

No Boco is lovely

100 the t-shirt thing was just a joke you see. We won't really be wearing them

Well, I will if other people do. And I will know who has ordered one

FrannyandZooey · 25/08/2007 23:58

see 100 see how good that looks?

OP posts:
TooTicky · 25/08/2007 23:58

Franny and Avi, you're just showing off because I can't get italics to work.

FrannyandZooey · 25/08/2007 23:59

TooT will they have a nice font like that one I did for 100?

can you show us what they will look like?

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 25/08/2007 23:59

LOL TooT

have you not got a ^ key?

OP posts:
ahundredtimes · 26/08/2007 00:02

Oh thank you Franny. I'm touched. It looks a bit sexual like that doesn't it? Like I can do it a hundred times or something? Shall I also wear a wings and weird skirt which shows my knickers?

NotReallyHerePossum · 26/08/2007 00:02

but Boco has posted a picture of herself with Muscles. Maybe she is Dave the Hairy Arsed Truker under all that cleavage?
Aviatrix, he is presenting a paper at another conf that w/e, I am just attending a conf, hence the difference. Tis a valid one.

TooTicky · 26/08/2007 00:03

I have a ^ but it refuses to italicise thiongs for me.

Any font would be okay I should think.

Purple sparkle here but much better in the flesh.

FrannyandZooey · 26/08/2007 00:04

100 you know and I know that you have NO intention of coming to the meet up

I also know you will twist yourself up in a frenzy of curiosity afterwards wondering what it would have been like if you had gone

OP posts:
ahundredtimes · 26/08/2007 00:04

Would this go with the Uzbek cotton top? Am LOL at you all in large organic t-shirts with your names in vinyl glitter names. Is very 10/10 I think.

ahundredtimes · 26/08/2007 00:06

Oh Franny you know me too well. I worry about not knowing things though, I also worry it'll be different when you come back.

What if you don't like each other?

What if somebody has a fight over the mung beans?

What if you all really like each other and don't bother with 10/10 anymore but just email instead?

Hmm.

No sign of the mouse for a bit. Am doing the stamping thing.

FrannyandZooey · 26/08/2007 00:07

You should come, you really should

you'll have fun. Boco will be there.

Terrible things are happening in Uzbekhistan
