When you say it's going to ripen now......well when exactly do you mean? - 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

that's lot of reading for a saturday morning
as I don't go to the gym anymore i will take off my instructor's leotard

have a "party" tonight that I don't want to go to but am someone's taxi driver so it's bitter beginning to bitter end

i am a miserable old witch but I'd rather stay home and iron and watch ocean's twelve

little carbs, I have hardly any carbs with the evening meal not little crabs.

Hi Mrs C poor ds he sounds really very under the weather indeed, i hope he gets lots of sleep but it must be so hard for him

but what about the inches that is more imp than the weight no?

i thought you did mean crabs! or an individual little crab anyway

morning all...busy weekend, with a boozy sunday lunch party tonight (don't ask ), packing for son's outward bound trip, baking, allotmenting and fretting about my final assignment which I hve don nowt for and is due in a week.
Tomorrow I am serving teas at a grand country house for charity (hence baking) but the weather forecast is very

TooT - i only do rainbow stuff at festivals as otherwise people try and book me for their children's parties
I have a particular fondness for rainsbow stripey over the knee socks worn with mini skirt and pirate wellies - not an easy look to carry off on the school run....

miserable old witch has to get dressed and start the day

scrape the children off morning telly
one has gone to a hockey match and is doing the family's exercise for us

a homework battle looms

Lol I did wonder about the little crabs, and thought 'is she having little crabs every night, for a week? How strange.'

fmf the energy in that post ..

the inches are very present indeed, my stomach keep popping out to say hello over the top of my jeans. My shiatsu lady kept saying I can't believe you are 11 stone, you don't look it and when I said actually I was closer to 12 she nearly passed out.

and what is WRONG with being booked for children's parties exactly? Hmm? HMMMM?

hello Mrs C's stomach
i am in "loose clothing" today
sometimes I wish I could wear shell suit trousers but only in the privacy of my home
but i guess you'd have to buy them first -- really one just couldn't

my shiatsu lady lol you sound like sting's wife

get those stripey socks over those soon to be puffy ankles

no, I meant, tis a bit distressing when people think you are on the way to host a children's party when in fact you* are just a depressed old hippy trying to recapture one's youth!

Stuffit - yes, I am a little bit
energergised at the moment - and it's not even remotely a full moon. Oh god, all my hormones must be to pot...

ooh I don't think I fancy puffy
I just get calves which i don't usually have
I have got stretchmarks on them from last time

ah FMF I get it the other way round

I find it distressing when people think I am just a depressed old hippy trying to recapture my youth, when in fact I am on the way to host a children's party

you wouldn't have fancied me then

lower leg stretch marks? how frustrating

it must be nice not to have calves ..am quite slim but legs like a wrestler

one can be a distressed old hippy AND a children's party entertainer

multi-tasking -- it's the way ahead

is shiatsu stomach maassgse

well your body may need to adjust mrs c

go ing up or down by aup to about 7lbs in a fewd ays is something i often do

you cant really measure insmall amounts cos of fluctuations

keep going and at the end of a month you should have seen a modest change

and yes shape and toning is just as importsant

rofl of course as my tummy is a bag of flab completely undertoned

as bf keeps demon starting my bunching it up in his hands so i know i havent hidden it very well

no it is not especially nice
you can't get boots to fit and men are not particularly attracted to legs that have no curves at all

"one can be a distressed old hippy AND a children's party entertainer "

surely NOT

have to say hi as am stalking you zippi
but miserable old witch is off to for the children
maybe some carrots will make me zing

rofl at myself with demon starting

that will be because we went in the devil museum in vilnius i guess he was overly influenced

I am going to wash my hair and stop slumping here
have had banana, grapes, pear, raisins

back is a lot better btw hence slumping

i didn't get "my demon starting my bunching it up in his hands" but didn't say anything as am zippi cheerleader at mo what pray tell did you mean to say

actually fran your posture talk has led to me standing up straighter in supermarket queues
