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

i looked they are empty

Boco · 09/05/2008 18:53

No it's ok they're deleted, there was one of me in my bikini actually, but is gone. There's only one with me in and we all look absolutely insane. It was very windy and my hair looks like a wig.
Don't you go looking for it, i'll know.

FrannyandZooey · 09/05/2008 18:54

boco quick get them down - we can see the readers wives shot (nice gimp mask though - is it washable?)

BBBee · 09/05/2008 18:56

oh franny i looked and wished i hadn't - i will never be able to face rice pudding again after I saw they did that with it.

Boco · 09/05/2008 18:58

Stop it you horrid, because now if i take it down you're free to pretend there are obscene images, and if I don't people will check to see anyway. You vile trickster.

BBBee · 09/05/2008 19:01

oh right um yes everyone - there was just photos of tupplewear parties and fairy cakes - honest.

FrannyandZooey · 09/05/2008 19:01

Bee never mind

BBBee · 09/05/2008 19:03

tuppleware? yes that is better.

pinkspottywellies · 09/05/2008 19:11

Oh Boco. It's lovely! She looks so like you.

I'm eating a big fruit salad

berolina · 09/05/2008 19:33

Lovely photo, Boco.

my foot is bruised I have a ridiculously shaped foot with a huge bony bump at the side next to my big toe. Almost all shoes (and I get them as wide as possible) rub against it. These ones - Clarks children's H-fitting shoes I bought in the UK a couple of years ago and have worn on and off for a year - have today managed, after several km of walking to trains/tubes/kindergarten/shops/round the zoo, to bruise it. I'm thinking of having the bump removed. But wouldn't it be hideously painful and immobilise me for weeks on end? I need to walk - both practically (no car here) and psychologically.

berolina · 09/05/2008 19:36

Apple. Banana. OJ. Veg lasagne 2 large portions with peas, carrots, green and orange pepper, courgettes, aubergines, passata.

cyteen · 09/05/2008 19:40

Boco, your little girl is gorgeous

Franny, that's everso kind of you to offer - I'm a short size 12

It's a shame you're not near me berolina, I am a dab hand at foot massage and would gladly give your bruised paw a rub (not in a sex way).

I've been doing a long-overdue job this evening: drafting the copy for our fundraising website. Have been trying to write the story of my brother's battle with cancer in a way that will be helpful yet still true to who he was, but I keep getting sidetracked by wanting to tell people what a wonderful person he was, how kind and loving and considerate and funny and stubborn. It's hard trying to pick out the salient bits, because for us it was such an intense experience.

Still, it feels good to start getting on top of some things again, although I doubt my Procrastination World Champion title is under any threat just yet.

ahundredtimes · 09/05/2008 19:47

Oh Boco what a gorgeous photo. Very lovely. I like it when we share photos. Like Franny's thighs, and your dd. Very pretty.

I wonder what that drop shot thing is? I wonder what that photo bucket thing Franny does too.

I am feeling very happy today. Don't know why. I found my pink suede high heel sandals and wore them, and JJ and I went on a beautiful walk. And it's the weekend. And that's it really.

berolina · 09/05/2008 19:47

thank you cyteen for the offer am going for a foot bath later.

I think I am going to have it done tbh, but not until November or so when the weather starts getting cold and crap and I don't mind so much being immobile. Will just have to live in crocs extra-comfy shoes all summer.

BBBee · 09/05/2008 19:50

oh dear i am getting my g-string in a twist over on the pole dancing thread. I am used to being on here where you can be vague and it is interesting.

100 - you didn;t wear the shoes to walk him thoguh? You have set me off on the dog thing. I would love a dog, but we are not here enough and the dog would be lonely.

i would share a photo but you have to do all that file thing and stuff adn i get all cross and stroppy.

am tired.

littlerach · 09/05/2008 20:00
