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

Well DONE Lully
Heights are odd things. They didn't used to bother me but these days my thighs object

Franny, glad it all went well!

TooTicky · 05/04/2008 19:13

TooTicky · 05/04/2008 19:15

I nearly got stuck at the top of a cast;le last summer Dd1, ds1 and ds2 were running around and up and down and I was clinging onto a wall with dd2.

eternalstudent · 05/04/2008 20:39

DH is suffering through some unbearably hot tandoori chicken I just made. He thinks I made mine eatable and his nasty so I could come on here and laugh about him. Sussed.

UnderRated · 05/04/2008 20:41

I am sure you will all be pleased to know that I just watched Harold and Maude.

Apple, grapes, juice.

FrayedKnot · 05/04/2008 22:11

DH & I have just watched "Tell No One" I didn;t get any of it far too complicated, but I liked that it was in French and had Kristen Scott-Thomas in who I have a crush on

Now I have pissed DH off because I told him to eff off while I logged into MN so he wouldn;t see my log-in...

Some things have to be sacred

lullabyloo · 05/04/2008 23:13

I have just watched Brokeback Mountain

lullabyloo · 05/04/2008 23:14

Is it sad? I can't watch sad things. Or read them. I'm a wimp.

UnderRated · 05/04/2008 23:17

She's in lots of things, Tooticky. Was in Four Weddings

UnderRated · 05/04/2008 23:18

Yes, sad.
