Love Pea Tender - 10 / 10 thread - all welcome (even the deranged and desperate)

[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

Count the nuts TooT

Aah, a fresh and fragrant yurt.

I'm not sure about this new PR angle Franny. Are you sure?

yes no messing this one up with filthy bordello role plays

I want to come in here tomorrow and find it spick and span

night

Ooh Pink, you just beat me!

erm

well

no

it amused me temporarily

Surely it should read 'especially the deranged and desparate'. And can we call it the 'bunch of hippies thread' instead of 10/10?

and surely the deranged bit means we can do role play.

Oh I like the Love Pea Tender title.

look everyone we really ought to talk about fruit and vegetables early in the thread incase people come in all new a fresh..

I have had:

an orange
beans
apple
sprouts
carrots
onions

that is only five. That is not good. Others have done better.

look we are attracting more vegetable named posters

yes - stop looking deranged and desperate.

Hi Brocolli.

ooh yes Bee
[bustles]

well to recap slightly I have had:

melon, asian pear, raisins, pineapple
lettuce tomato cucumber
broccoli sweetcorn

probably 8 in total
and I did some VERY strenuous tidying

I have had
apple
raisins
mandarin
kiwi
grapefruit
ALL before 10am, then
lots of leek/potato/carrot soup (at least 2 portions)
and a bowl of cooked pears.

can you link avi?

Have also played a board game aimed at 10-adult people firstly with an 11yo and an 8yo, then with 11yo, 6yo and 2yo. Given that it was a complicated game, and that certain people kept sliding under the table, and that I had to leap up and provide emergency food several times, and that it was quite exhausting, can it possibly count as exercise?

I had home made vegetable soup for lunch, with lots of vegetables and some beans in it.
courgette
green beans
umm, other stuff I can't remember

then
carrots
parsnips
broccoli
apple
grapes
blueberries

I reckon I had about 8 today.

Sand in shoes is normal, isn't it? It's eating it that I find distressing. Oh, and little heaps of it in bed.

I read the observer article.
So, mn are making books, six figure deals etc, and mp is writing the first one, is that right? I didn't know about that.

what?

I think we all write the books (or have written them already)
mp is editing them

have you seen the previous ones? they're collections of posts

I've not seen any of them. Surely they weren't all six figure deals though were they? I assumed this was something different. Wow. So, Fra, were you in any so far?

I like it when people call you Fra.

Bee, are you working or chilaxing?

Hello.

Deranged (slightly) signing in.

Hope everyone is well.
