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.

Oh no, Franny, those doors slam very loudly here, a lot.

I have to go and make our lunch boxes now and then go to bed because I am going out tomrrow night. I will mull it over a bit and get back to you if I think of anything at all constructive [slightly doubtful wink]

lionheart · 11/10/2007 22:40

Hello, everyone.

TooT, they are beautiful.

FrannyandZooey · 11/10/2007 22:40

LOL JoFan

you can definitely have a badge, or a motivational poster or even [intake of breath] a pass to the Marquee depending on how well you have done

crisps are right out, sorry

go on , spill the beans (and crisps)

FrannyandZooey · 11/10/2007 22:41

I like to come back to things

JoFan · 11/10/2007 22:42

this thread caught my eye as today have eaten a trailer-trash diet

am too ashamed to tell and deserve the pustules i will wake up with tomorrow

zippitippitoes · 11/10/2007 22:43

panic is starting to set in i just checked and noticed that he is 6'3"...oh god i am going to die of embarrassment it will be awful

FrannyandZooey · 11/10/2007 22:44

Boco the stolen cat story is marvellous

I think I could marry a man who thinks stealing a cat makes everything all right

you see! I can't let a door slam! I am sizing up Mr Boco now for marriage prospects. I need help.

Tatties · 11/10/2007 22:44

Franny, I think I know what you mean. Every now and then something happens and I think I don't know dp at all (or as well as I thought I did).
Sometimes I miss the excitement of the early days.. but it's possibly seen through rose-tinted glasses. When I feel like this I think about how glad I am to be at the stage in the relationship where we are totally comfortable with each other.

lionheart · 11/10/2007 22:45

tatties, you are getting braver and closer with your photos.

What's with the doors slamming and wedging things open?

Hello, JoFan.

MrsC, that must be such a boost.

zippitippitoes · 11/10/2007 22:46

i am feeling quite perversely contrary on this thread as i seem to have gone into reverse compared with all of you

lionheart · 11/10/2007 22:46

zippi, you know darn well, size doesn't matter.

FrannyandZooey · 11/10/2007 22:47

Zippi 6 ft 3 [swoon] I will go in your place

JoFan TELL US. We will cleanse your soul.

FrayedKnot I just looked at your profile here is a decorative medal for you to wear

JoFan · 11/10/2007 22:47

will Mr Boco and the stolen cat be in the marquee?

zippitippitoes · 11/10/2007 22:48

that's nearly a foot taller than me..not to mention the 19 years..he must be bonkers it is goingt o be awful

FrannyandZooey · 11/10/2007 22:49

Tatties the PURPLE STARRY COAT I heart the purple starry coat

ooh and your cleft chin

Zippi I know, shall i shut up? I am having crises over not very much, feel free to give me a slap

TooTicky · 11/10/2007 22:49

Tatties, you have the same gently cheeky look as your ds That tea is divine btw. I demand to know when your birthday is.
I also demand that I start actually remembering birthdays. Not sure who I am demanding this from

Hello JoFan, are you mad? If you are, you'll be fine here. Pull up an aubergine.

zippitippitoes · 11/10/2007 22:50

why would you need a slap puzzled

you are charming and sensitive

FrannyandZooey · 11/10/2007 22:50

sshhhh - the Marquee is secret

Oh Zippi you will just have to climb a little bit faster than him

then you will be the same height

zippitippitoes · 11/10/2007 22:50

lol at mad some of us are madder than others

TooTicky · 11/10/2007 22:51

Zippi, did you do the height line up thing? Are you somewhere near my end?

FrannyandZooey · 11/10/2007 22:52

ooh "gently cheeky" I like that. I think "gently cheeky" would be about my favourite look in men, which would explain why I have a crush on Tatties

Zippi if I had just split up with my long term dp and was listening to someone wittering on about long term relationships and doors closing, I think I might be tempted to slam the door on her &^&%$ fingers

pinkspottywerewolf · 11/10/2007 22:53

eek, where's the scrabble thread?! I just played BLINK for 42 points

JoFan · 11/10/2007 22:54

glass juice
3 weetabix
slice banana cake
bag parsnip/beetroot crisps
pork with mash and baked beans
glass cranberry juice

copious cups tea

i deserve what is coming. in my defence i am usually a healthy eater, and if it's any consolation i feel filthy, filthy FILTHY

my body is a temple and i have treated it as a sewer

FrannyandZooey · 11/10/2007 22:54

There isn't anyone near my end of the height line up

I am currently trying to recruit someone who is much much taller than me, just so i am not lonely over here

you know who you are, come on out of the shadows

lionheart · 11/10/2007 22:55

Do those crisps count? They are not ordinary, are they?
