Cauliflower Steaming On Such A Winter's Day - 10 / 10 thread

[FrannyandZooey]

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.

And it has a triangle.

Hmm. I don't know. I will check next time I have rhubarb. I had a lovely time in Norfolkshire by the way. I waved to you and Boco [wave]

triangle, Lionhart?

Glad you had a nice time, Pink, where did you have lunch in the end? I went for a second run yesterday.

Thanks for all holiday advice, I think I will be nervous about health in Morroco especially with no vaccinations. We were thinking Italy actually, Avi, Sicily or Sardinia. Which one is French, Corsica? We'll have to wait and see with finances anyway. Lol at definitely getting the trots in Morroco!

what are you banning, Franny, I can feel your reticence!

Well done MrsC! I dragged my sis out for a run! We went swimming at Riverside in the morning then had lunch at Bella Pasta. Sis mentioned the cafe at Rainbow Wholefoods but said it was upstairs and she didn't think there was a lift. I wanted to get more crying chocolate but decided I should lose more weight and finish our Christmas chocolate first!

I am banning

garlic
smutty talk about rhubarb
titles i don't get

have just had email from 18 y old who I used to nanny for, and whose father I currently work for, and who likes to confide all her teenage problems in me, saying "by the way, did you ever take drugs when you were younger?"

I will ban emails like that as well

Another one bites the husk.

Ask not for whom the Kale tolls.

I've always liked that one.

It Tolls for Peas

that was a greeny one

ask not for whom the kale curls, 100, get it right

Oh yes. And then It Tolls for Peas.

I am off to bed so please sort it out amongst yourselves

I shall come back in the morning and abide by the consensus, then I will ban

olives
smelly cheese
people with hairy backs
dog slobber

sorry that was meant to be a wink not a hmm!

[spreads dog slobber about the yurt]

I have long wanted the kale curling one.

We shall have Mrs C's. Though I don't see what's wrong with Another one bites the husk.

Except it doesn't show f&v in a particularly attractive light. [subversive]

lol, Franny, you can't ban everything and they say decide yourselves!

oh sympathy and advice please for drug-curious 18 year old

she is a very young 18, absolutely lovely

lolol Mrs C - I thought you were getting competitive and tetchy with your raised eyebrows.
