Dedicated Swallower of Passion (Fruit) - 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.

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

lol lol lol at franny....you are naughty

monkfish with savoy cabbage
butterbean stew with brown rice
passionfruit & mango
raspberries
celery
carrots

ds wants to see that water horse film tomorrow afternoon....any views?

and what, pray, is a boff?

LOL you have all seen my messy kitchen and clean dining room table anyway, what more do you want

MrsC I am thinking it must be a boffin. In other words, a rude term for someone who has done something better than you

ah, I see. Well, I have just eaten a chocolate muffin with the second glass of wine if thats any comfort. I am also trying not to look at Lully's chocolate site though I will confess it has been bookmarked.

I get the salty sweet thing though, lots of sweet cakes are actually very salty, like my muffin. I do not, however, get chocolate covered pretzels for some reason.

Pink - did you do the 20? We were on 55556 but I'm not sure whether to increase each split or do one long one.

MrsC I did 8,5,8. It was surprisingly ok and I could have pushed harder.

You lot drinking wine has inspired me. I have a glass of white!

MrsC tell me about morrocan mint please, what make is it?

Quiche for lunch with salad and avocado and tomato.

Aubergine stew for supper with lots of vegetables and one of those cunting mangoes for pudding - was rotting and unripe, bastard.

what is a caramel? a toffee?

i have had a passion fruit an apple a banana cabbage and mushrooms and chicken and red pepper

think i might be at ten or so

careful, boco, franny will call you a boff

Tatties - I don't know the make other than it was from waitrose, wait, hang on I will ring my friend....

back, its this

pink, when does the 20 come in, end of week 5?

Thanks MrsC! They have Dragonfly teas at my healthfood shop so I will look for it there. I love peppermint tea

Yes Saturday, apparently, I will run for 20 mins without stopping. In my 5 mins warm up walk today I kept smirking to myself at the sheerridiculousness thought that I was meant to be doing 8 mins. But I did and I was fine! I would do 2 longer stints if I were you then go for the 20 mins. (but I'll let you know on Sat!)

It was nice, much better than usual.

Hello!

It's only taken me 15 minutes to catc h up

Spangly pants sounded good - i love things with stars on...a hang up from being a big fan of Wonder Woman I think...god I wnted to be Lynda Carter soooo much

I think chocolate is contributing to my migraines so I'm not looking at the links

I've had fruit salad with melon, watermelon, kiwi, grapes, blueberries (perhaps 3 portions?)..purple sprouting brocolli, peppers, an apple, hummous.

I've been having nettle tea lately which is extremely nice with half a spoon of manuka honey in it

Has any one seen the thread 'How often do you resist poting on mumsnet or post a much milder response than you want to, just to avoid seeming like a big cow?'? I thought it was 100x but obviously it's affecting everyone at the minute!

no, haven't seen thread but the answer from ame is all the time > I post a mild reply and then sit shouting at the screen ''yer poncey, unreasonable rotton mango person''

just for a change we got a cunting papaya with our veg box
ds was so excited, yet it is already rotten - rock hard and rotten

I had a nice apple/carrot/beetroot salad earlier. That's all f&v-wise though.

that nuttella ad makes it sound positively healthy

grapes, banana, melon, apple, raisins and a stormy off row with dp

he stormed off, I am not a stormer. I am a follow you round the house shrieker

we have made it up

it was partly over compost LOL so was in fact a f+v related row, which is why I report it to you on here

morning all

this morning I have mostly been eating muesli, and a banana. and some apple juice.

thank fuck it's Friday
