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

Dave is a great name for a boat.

I have given JJ his first bone just now - from our lunch - I stripped it down and everything. The house has gone all quiet. It might keep him busy for a week you know.

Also I met a lovely lady who wears one of those sherpa hats and she takes dogs into her home, she only lives up the road. She was very cool - like a dog-walker from a movie.

That is my dog news.

FrannyandZooey · 16/03/2008 15:40

has anyone eaten a vegetable because I haven't
oh i ate 3 cherry tomatoes

ahundredtimes · 16/03/2008 15:42

Broccoli, green cabbage, runner beans, potatoes

ahundredtimes · 16/03/2008 15:46

Have you noticed how much Boco and i both say 'and everything' ?

FrannyandZooey · 16/03/2008 15:50

No.

Veg swot.

BBBee · 16/03/2008 16:12

yes you do don;t you - I wonder why? maybe so we can make up our own minds what the 'and everything' entails or maybe because you don;t want to type it.

How is th piano boco - they are large aren't they - much larger than you imagine. Have you named it and everyrthing?

Tatties · 16/03/2008 16:24

Great boat Franny!

Boco · 16/03/2008 16:25

I think the 'and everything' is just running out of steam. I say 'and stuff' as well.

Piano in and room slowly being put back. Looks quite nice now. Will be a useful shelf for books that have been stacked in corners. I really need another room or two.

Look Franny, I've found this pirate ship name generator How about The Hell Born Cruelty? Catchy no?

FrannyandZooey · 16/03/2008 16:32

LOL

we need a vegetable pun generator
any ideas?

S1ur · 16/03/2008 16:37

Hello, am back to eating but not much have had strawberries, salad and a bit of orange.

Franny lovely boat your ds is going to be over the moon (whixch is quite a good name btw) also for inspiration boat names how about "down at the dinghy" or The Dinghy Down?

Boco, I am a little jealous, I sold our piano last year and still miss it. Have fantastic times with yours

IdrisTheDragon · 16/03/2008 19:34

Evening. Have done lots of sleeping today.

Also spinach, brocolli. Must have had other things. Banana.

FrayedKnot · 16/03/2008 19:39

I will try to catch up later

love to you all

pinkspottywellies · 16/03/2008 20:10

How about the 'straight and marrow' in the title that TooT used further down?

Franny I love the boat and the shoes and a rather princely looking ds!!

Tigerfeet sorry everything is pants hope things work out with the school appeal. Will work settle down soon?

Boco what do you need a dress for? Are you going to another posh do?

100x. Hi, haven't spoken to you f'rages!

Eternal, Cod has never spoken to me. Is this something I should be striving towards?

Got up at 3 this morning to watch Formula 1 [loses all lentilly points ever accumulated] Had an apple for breakfast, peanut butter (nuts do count ), salad at lunchtime, no dinner yet. Will probably have a pear. No exercise.

DD spent an hour in the bath this evening! I sat and looked at the next catalogue

littlerach · 16/03/2008 20:13

any more suggestions?

dp cooked some veg, hallelujah because in my laziness I was getting scurvy. Reader, I ate them. Cabbage, red cabbage, brocolli, mushrooms. More grapes. More orange juice. Generally though I have been CRAP this week and need to pull my socks up. But I can't reach my feet.

pinkspottywellies · 16/03/2008 20:40

I'm going to find your name thread. Sounds intruiging!

How about 'Keeping us on the straight and marrow'?

BunnyandZooey · 16/03/2008 21:19
