Last Mango in Paris - 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 have managed scromelette packed with spinach, tomatoes, mushroom and peas, a kiwi fruit, grapes and a peanut butter sarnie and fruit juice.

Asparagus, mushrooms and green beans with dinner.

Yay! 10!

clue

it'll be great, veggie heaven actually I guess
though I suppose one ought to think about schools and houses too

Wow stuffit sounds good. How soon will you be moving? will it be a major upheaval?

scromelette sounds scromelicious

xposts that'd be a yes then!

Boco must have a badge, Franny!

Sorry to hear about your back and such. I didn;t expererience those sort of problems when pg so can;t offer any advice I don;t think

Oh dear UR - yes, be cool but polite. Hope internet bloke is a better option, in time.

Have had a reasonable day with f&v but also had cheap & nasty confectionery as well so hope it doesn;t cancel out

More wild garlic for supper

summertime so I have a while to gather up tattered belongings into plastic bag

it will be pretty major but everything is easier when the dh is v v happy and content, you know what i mean? he'll do his best to smooth the path for us

WOW stuffit, you're moving to brighton?

WoW!

just wondering whether to give fmf a badge for scromelette consumption
I may be overreaching my status

Oh my goodness! How exciting - are you in UK now? Gosh that is a big move - have you spent time there before? Do you know people there? I want to ask you lots of questions like what does you dh do, but realise that not everyone is a compulsive sharer so feel free to ignore. Can we come and visit?

fmf that was a large rofl
i'm still experiencing it!

I have discovered DS and DD really like red peppers

still experiencing the rofl that is

wish I could share a bit more.. god it's tempting

we know no one but I'm sure you get gathered up ..probably like university where you spend 2 months making lots of friends and the rest of the time trying to avoid 3/4 of them

I've been but that was ages ago -- anyone been recently ?

and yes sod the azores git yersens over there

I've never managed that idris
was it by chance

Well done Idris. Red peppers are nicely versitile as well.
I find that dd will occasnionally eat all sorts with butter on that is prefixed by the word butter.

And yes do share more details Stuffit.

Go on Stuffit, it's only us here, and we won't tell anyone...

I think it was DH who initiated the red pepper like .

i sounded sour -- i don't mean that
people are terribly friendly to newcomers and so that was mean of me
please forgive me I'm nice really
(I'm always nice to newcomers and for all i know they spend the rest of their postings avoiding me!)

I don't know but I imagine that it would be very different if you were going as a company/university placement affair rather than setting out on your own.

I never tell anyone anything .

well done dh they are so good for you

peppers not dh's

erk

Idris, have you reached enlightenment?

will share more later fer sure
dh home must give congratulatory snog

slur you are absolutely right
the path is easier
if anyone's been recently I will be v interested to hear about it
