Deny thy burger and refuse thy bacon, and if thou wilt not, be but corn my lovage and I will no longer be a cabbage head - 10/10 thread. All welcome!

[pinkspottywellies]

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

are you ok overrated that sounds scary...

somerset might be nice...it would be a good place strategically

i have no idea what i am doing and time is going by at a star trek rate

i can't believe it is nearly march and i am still faffing with the fucking house

oh yes ...i am sorry i am missing the tea party

tho the venue looked a bit posh for me

and i am not sure i can eat more than one piece of a cake style food

tho it does look stunningly gorgeous

yes i am not sure that sea swimming in feb is compatible with a sexy look..i shall lok shit

rather like when i went on that walk in a howling sleety gale the other week

ooh no it will be wonderful for your circulation and you will be all fresh and glowy and goosebumpy

i will be blue

i picked up my swimming cossie yesterday and it had gone transparent so had to dash to jjb and buy naother in a nano second so that i could get to the gym before 4 when the off peak membership finishes

i wrote my friend this last night and he said wear the transparent one in the sea...

Bloody hell, a dip in the sea in Feb How, erm, bracing. I predict your face will go like this - the blue one being cold not sad.

All you runners are making me feel guilty, I am such a bad 10/10er when it comes to the "/10" bit. I seem to have had a permanent cough since November which rears its ugly head whenever I move at faster than a snail's pace.

Porridge with blueberries so far
Forgotten to bring fruit to work
But have veg & beef casserole for lunch
And salad for tea.

Have never really got on with poetry [science graduate] but I like those two above. I think it has to touch something one can relate to for one to understand it properly.

Just checking in, will catch up later

Zippi, I'm a bit worried about swimming in Wales in February

I have a big bruise on my knee from yesterday but I think I got off pretty lightly.

We had a kind of conglomeration of spinach, leeks, carrots, savoy cabbage and leftover roasted parsnips, stir fried with pine nuts

and a little bit of bacon

And parmesan on the top. With rice. Twas nice.

DS had baked beans

You're so busy all the time zippi. It makes me feel worn out just reading about it. But then I should make more of an effort to be busier rather than sitting at home dwelling and wasting time on the internet.

Interesting dinner, FK. I am not hungry today. Blueberries for lunch. DS had pesto tortellini for the 3rd day in a row.
