Dancing greens, feel the beet of the tangerine - 10 / 10 thread

911 replies

FrannyandZooey · 21/01/2008 20:34

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

Hello

Lack of f&v is making me very uninspired re thread titles.

However I have jerusalem artichokes in the veg box and am about to do something with them.

I feel a hymn coming on

FrannyandZooey · 02/02/2008 17:03

@ Lully

nobody does lychee though surely FMF?

Ds and dp have been at the beach being wholesome and I have been sleeping and eating chocolates. I can't stop feeling vaguely run over on the afternoons when I have been working. I do wonder what ds and dp talk about sometimes when they are out together - since they got back ds has said "mummy your body has got things like milk makers because you are a female - that means dodgy male" and "daddy don't be silly about not having chocolate buttons till after a meal - you are the player not the worrier"

MissCreant · 02/02/2008 17:06

The player? Dodgy male?

FrannyandZooey · 02/02/2008 17:11

along with jam offences and the state of the downstairs toilet

Well done on the early night, zippi. I tried to do that but just couldn't fall asleep.

BBBee, the dancing thing sounds fab. Does anyone use thjose ketchuo things? I think they may well be retro but I don't think I'd have the energy to refill it every time. But then I'm lazy. A knickerbocker glory set sounds fun. I always like things like mugs and nice tea too. But I'm quite easy to please - nice bath stuff and soy candles make me happy.

at the toad. It's amazing what you can buy in the US & australia. They have completely different laws over here - lots of my friends have those glass cases filled with exotic butterflies - I am quite sure they're illegal in the uK. I wonder what customs would make of the purse though.

MrsC, your list is very inspiring. I wish I could run.

lullabyloo · 02/02/2008 19:38

hmmmmmmmmm franny
ds is very into mummy's milk making abilities since viewing a video of himself breastfeeding
Now he has his anatomy book he is obsessed with wombs & the growing foetus...he is a little confused about the egg business tho...referring to his birth as 'When I hatched'
I think we need to go over that bit again

He also asked to see the hole that he popped out of
Never have I been more grateful that I ended up with an emergency c sec!

fullmoonfiend · 02/02/2008 19:56

I am preparing a mexican feast of quesadilla mexicana, bean burrito and quinoa salad (have seen the tails and all becomes clear...!)

while listening to some nivarna and I thought

Smells Like Green Spinach!

Thread title??

SauerKraut · 02/02/2008 19:59

Good one, FMF, especially as I return to 10/10 with the qualification of having eaten a whole bag of the stuff this evening! Have also had apple, raisins, tomatoes.

FrannyandZooey · 02/02/2008 20:12

FrayedKnot · 02/02/2008 20:42

Smells Like Green Spinach is inspired...my vote goes to fmf

Mmmmmmmmm at mexican food

OverRated · 02/02/2008 21:05

Yes yes yes... smells like Green Spinanch. Fab!

FrayedKnot · 02/02/2008 21:13

I think I may be starting the anatomy lessons here soon LL.

DS has started asking the where do babies come from questions...twice in two days now...

I haven't had the "and how do they get out" question yet...

Tatties · 02/02/2008 22:06

My vote goes to Dedicated Swallower of Passion

I considered going to the gym today

FrayedKnot · 02/02/2008 22:10

I wasn;t keen on the Jerusalem artichokes. They smelled of something familiar but not sure what and it wasn;t food

Not very Proustian because the memory didn;t come flooding back at all...

I am going for part I of my gym induction tomorrow - doubt that counts, but I am committed to a time so have to go. I cleaned the conservatory out today, that was quite energetic

BBBee · 02/02/2008 22:24

i like the spinach one and i like the one that alludes to fellatio - very topical at the moment with mrsC jumbp sperm and f&z hand rubbing butcher thread.

zippi had a good one too but I have forgotten it.

BBBee · 02/02/2008 22:26

oh fk that is no good the exercise anti has been well and truely upped.

people run you know!

FrannyandZooey · 02/02/2008 22:29

well I like Green Spinach and Dedicated Swallower

DS is probably a shade funnier

OP posts:
ZippiBabes · 02/02/2008 22:57

i think dedicated swallower is a good one and the other one

MissCreant · 02/02/2008 22:58

I like nirvana one

BBBee · 02/02/2008 23:03

let's do swallowing - 'tis with current mood. but def spinach on back burner for next time. Could do oral one for few days then switch when lent begins and we become all virtuous.

FrannyandZooey · 02/02/2008 23:05

every time I think we have a consensus then we wobble the other way

well I do like swallower so will make BFOB type decision

be back shortly

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 02/02/2008 23:06

does it need brackets?

ie Dedicated Swallower of Passionfruit

or Dedeicated Swallower of Passion (fruit)
