They're Changing Chard At Butternut Palace, Crispy Rocket Went Down With Radish - 10/10 Club

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 am still coming.

BBBee · 17/11/2007 17:01

good lord! that killed the thread!

MarsLady · 17/11/2007 17:09

I loved your last thread title. I miss seeing it.

FrannyandZooey · 17/11/2007 17:29

Bee, good

I forgot to tell you it is all sorted out at the lunch place - you just need to put in £15 more than everyone else

Mars this one is quite good too don't you think? And has the added advantage of not mentioning pumpkin jam

MarsLady · 17/11/2007 17:44

I think that they're all good and they make me smile every time I look at them. Also this one made me go out and buy butternut squash to make soup!

dressedupnowheretogotilxmas · 17/11/2007 17:49

again im loving the thread title

you have the best sense of humor going

yo should have yr own section on the mn newsletter lol

FrannyandZooey · 17/11/2007 17:54

you are quite right dressedup. I am sure it is only a matter of time before the wider community of MN realises the same and petitions for us to be properly recognised

instead of pointing and laughing "look at the funny veggers"

MrsCarrot · 17/11/2007 18:37

Toot - was the sick parp the same ds as the foam this morning? Is he ok?

I am waiting for roast chicken, with rosemary carrots, parsnips, broccoli, leeks, potatoes and gravy. I am starving.

I am looking forward to tomorrow. I have forgotten what time it is though.

FrannyandZooey · 17/11/2007 18:38

Lully you poor poor bunny

you know I think it is probably best that your dh and I are not going to meet this time

I wish we could come and swoop down and pick you up in our magic helicopter from the last thread

FrannyandZooey · 17/11/2007 18:39

I want what MrsC is having (sans chicken of course)
