Keeping on the straight and marrow - 10 / 10 thread - all welcome

[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

I had heard that anecdote before. I am also bad at anecdote retelling.

Had lunch with brocolli, squash, and some other vegetables in. And a yogurt with kiwi fruit (real ones) in it.

Tally going along not too badly.

Oh, Mrs Carrot, I'm so sorry

I know we (I) probably can't do anything, but if you think of something, please just say.

Anorak has a support thread for anyone who needs it. Maybe that will provide a little help when you are ready.

and a cup of coffee

DD has just discovered that trumping is hilarious. [sigh]. I understand this phase goes on for years [rolls eyes]

Boco...the afore mentioned sushi is being consumed now....not at 10.59 this morning.I am never that desperate for lunch

DS asks very loudly, "What was that?" then giggles.

I am constantly reminded that I must be careful what I say to her, I am sure to get it back in some way.

DD: Mummy can you help me do this
TF: In a minute darling
DD: You must do something straight away when I ask you to do it Mummy [stern]
TF:

I was thinking about crumpets today. I wonder if I can make them

'You know..in 6hrs all that lovely salad will just be poo'

Thanks for the hands. I am not naturally a huggy person either so hand holding will do me just fine.
