Dedicated Swallower of Passion (Fruit) - 10 / 10 thread

953 replies

FrannyandZooey · 03/02/2008 09:12

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

"th erpeschool I chair got a Good form Ofsted"

Once I had deciphered what an erpeschool was I thought very well done indeed

fullmoonfiend · 03/02/2008 12:50

goodness littlerach - as a former preschool worker, @ the unannounced visit. (that was always my worst nightmare taht they'd turn up on a day where my lovely but minxy girls would be running riot with sticklebrix cunningly fashioned into guns and the shy one would burst into tears if a strange person spoke to her and the 3 boys would be trying to play football with Miss Flump the Life-sized 'ethnic' little girl puppet and we'd have run out of healthy snacks and have decided that day to have custrad creams instead... etc etc

so Well Done!!!

FrannyandZooey · 03/02/2008 13:29

oh yes well done indeed Little Rach
our nursery had its inspection last week also and ds disgraced himself and had to come home during it the fably calm manager just said "ah well this is good as they can see how we deal with this sort of thing"

Avi will you still speak to me if we take you to Pizza Express instead of cooking for you?

Lully, I can take photos perhaps? Any special requests?

MissCreant · 03/02/2008 13:33

FrannyandZooey · 03/02/2008 13:36

yes she is
well she claims to be
we are not being very good hosts as I am working in the afternoon and dp is working at home after that, so we are going to shift her about from pillar to post then make her eat pizza something delicious and healthy

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 03/02/2008 13:37

Yum. they have lots of new flavours I notice, and those new extra large bases for gluttons like me those with extra large appetites

MissCreant · 03/02/2008 13:38

haven't checked this morning will look now

FrannyandZooey · 03/02/2008 13:40

oh it was yesterday I think, it should have got there, bother

I would have a giant base except that I have taken to ordering a pizza AND a salad lately, and they are not small to begin with

one must leave room for pudding not be greedy

What a filthsome thread title [distaste]

FrannyandZooey · 03/02/2008 14:28

tatties you know my door is always open
I know it is actually MrAvi you are hoping to see, but MrFranny is at least male and can sit and smile benignly for hours on end

FrannyandZooey · 03/02/2008 14:29

Greeny in what way? Do you not like passion fruit?

OP posts:
Greensleeves · 03/02/2008 14:33

it's the swallowing/passion thought-association thing, it kind of jumped out at me (I blame the oysters on the other trhead)

I make a reallyt nice passion fruit/raisin spiced rice pudding, it's seriously nice

I have not had my roughage today, only a banana , an orange and half a punnet of strawberries today so far. Am off out to play badminton in an hour though, so that's the exercise taken care of [shudder]

Just out of interest, do you lot find that you shit a lot more copiously since adopting the rabbit diet? I am eating over 10 portions a day at the moment (as are the kids/dh) and I keep doing scarily huge monstrous turds. The last one had a girth like a salami and reared up out of the water like an upended cruise liner

lullabyloo · 03/02/2008 14:35

lol at franny
you are not selling mr franny awfully well you know...I have one of those at home already

ahhhh photos ....I shall mail you the absolutely essential required list

fullmoonfiend · 03/02/2008 14:36

well greeny, my boys cannot be accused of eating anything like 10 portions a day and I regularly find turds the size of sea cows floating menacingly in the bottom of the bowl....How??? WHY?

lullabyloo · 03/02/2008 14:36

Greeny....yee gods women

fullmoonfiend · 03/02/2008 14:36
