Hey Mr. Tangerine Man - 10 / 10 thread

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

Tatties stop being a dark horse

FMF sorry to hear about AF woes.

TooT glad they accepted cancellation & report.

Avi...sorry you are feeling rotten...I do think better to tell someone if you can...

I am on holiday this week and have just spent lovely day with DS at our local castle. He made friends with some older children in the climbing fortress thingie and was playing hide-and-seek. The older of the boys he befriended (who was about 9) asked DS if he could count again because he hadn;t had time to hide and DS said

"But I've counted all the numbers I know!"

We are off to the beach tomrrow for a few days so will be offline for a bit

MrsC hope your recovery goes well - don;t do too much!!! Healing {{{}}}} to you.

May be on later if I have time...
