Papaya Don't Peach - 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.

Hi, hope you are all well, am back from hols and just done large veg shop so back trying with the 10-10 and have never managed it yet.

Problem is don't eat when it's just me so need to go down the soups etc road.

So far have eaten only chocolate today.

lully it's only 1130 and you've managed three. I have such a long way to go to start this habit.

fruit salad is easy tho & more pleasing than whole fruit imo

ds & I have 3 pieces of fruit or more every morning

did you have nice hols?

yes thanks it was very hot! am blotchy brown as I went without dh and couldn't spread my suncream properly

but very weird -- staying with friends who hardly ever ate veg so when I got home sat on the loo for a VERY LONG TIME

tmi sorry

have just picked up strawbs and oranges and have kilos of apples and pears in cellar so am going to make giant fruit salad to keep me going today -- just can't be bothered to cook for just me

how about bulk cooking & freezing soups etc?

i looked at the end of the road festival it does look quite good and british sea power are playing, laura marling and mercury rev that i have heard of..i like british sea power

its the going on my own thing i find weird

no food yet

i should be doing loads only a week of my holidays left and i have done practically nothing

why are you on your own stuffit

just read the other post
oh dear

you must get some proper friends

Toot...
This seems like a good idea
second hand school uniforms,books,musical instruments

I went on holiday with one child and now they are all at mil's while I came back to "bottom" the house (is that an expression you use?)

Am just about to bulk cook bolognaise sauce and fish pie, and I bought a lot of vegetables that I have to create something out of. I think it will be carrot and basil soup

bottom the house lol no

i very much doubt it is something i do either

lully not sure whether to drop these though .. they have

a yacht

zippi am on 1200 deadline to re-start bottoming where i left off yesterday.. it's a sod cos everything looks worse before it looks better

do you mean cleaning

Pah...who needs those sort of friends

Vegetables is what you need

i mean cleaning. but below surface cleaning, emptying cupboards and chucking stuff out, that sort of thing

that would be are what you need

ha ha at pah! also sailing people do seem to have one topic of conversation, which is sailing

unless you count the different sub-topics, such as anchorages, moorings and tackle

where's the veg talk when you need it eh
i'm on my countdown stuff it

time's up

back to the coalface

have a good day all see you later

yes I've done the sailing thing
ex p had a yacht....but he also ate vegetables
so I guess I was ok
he also managed to make me eat avocados

previously detested because my mother used to serve them mashed with cream & sugar for pudding

I've been to the market and filled the pram basket with fruit and veg I feel hopeful and good

I have also bought trainers for running. Proper ones from the running shop. I had to run up and down the high street

Avacado for pudding sounds vile Lully!

I have beetroot and radishes. Can I do anything with the leaves? Going to roast the beetroot and eat the radishes with crusty bread and butter
