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

Have eaten two apples (bit soft, both of them, ate the second in vain hope).

Have been having enormous fun on your pirate thread Avi. Pleased pre school worked out.

I'm in TooT! I am being quite daring these days now I'm not scared of my car anymore.

I have discovered that getting lost is alright. You just stop. I thought something terrible might happen. Like flying monkeys would come and snatch the wheels off the car leaving me stranded in the middle of nowhere. I would still like satnav tho.

Hello

I was going to pretend I was sulking about my titles but actually our interweb at home is completely broken...a service engineer is coming tonight

Actually maybe by the time I return it will be next week and we can have Rocket or Riders

And it's not that I don;t like your title, BBBee

And I have read everyone's posts and am happy, sad, disturbed, elated, and everything, but it's just I am at work and can't be on here for more than a minute or two

So general ignoring all round

See you all soon

xx

OsmosisBanana · 20/05/2008 12:42

Surely there must be other Sou West dwellers than just you and me TooT? Everyone seems as though they should come from Somerset.

TooTicky · 20/05/2008 12:44

Avi, glad everything is sorting itself out so nicely

Yes, meet up, but I don't know where yet. Depends partly on where people are coming from. I mean, we could do Wilts, Gloucestershire, Somerset, south coast, even south Wales.....
Anybody with ideas please email me on [email protected]

OB, I think satnav would be invaluable in cities but would annoy the hell out of me at other times.

TooTicky · 20/05/2008 12:45

100x is, but she won't come

OsmosisBanana · 20/05/2008 12:46

Why?

TooTicky · 20/05/2008 12:52

She prefers us faceless
Either that or she's scared.....

TigerFeet · 20/05/2008 13:11

Oooh a meet up!

Possibly a bit far away for me... but possibly not impossible.

Dear lord but my sentence construction today is shocking

I get all excited about meet ups and then get cold feet because I think that everyone will think I'm odd because in RL I can be quite shy. I also don't really look like your typical vegger

TigerFeet · 20/05/2008 13:12
TooTicky · 20/05/2008 13:16

TigerFeet, I am shy too Hope you can make it. Let me know which area would be preferable.

OB, I have just thoroughly confused myself looking at your photos. The two little dogs - at first I thought they were some kind of pastry product! I must be tired.

OsmosisBanana · 20/05/2008 13:16

Where do you live TF? What do you mean you don't look like a vegger? Do you live in a cave? Do you have 7 legs and 60 hairy toes?

TooTicky · 20/05/2008 13:18

OB, she said she didn't look like a vegger

OsmosisBanana · 20/05/2008 13:18

Ah if only they were little odgs or indeed a pastry item - life would be much cleaner, quieter and happier.

They are big dogs.

I don't really like dogs at all and somehow have 3.

I just like the photo.

Mmmmmm. Pastry dog.

TigerFeet · 20/05/2008 13:21

the further north the better, and if you could come east a bit that would be good too

Go ahead and plan without me and I will try my best to get wherever you are. It very much depends on day and date. There is a possibility I could cadge a bed for the night in the general area so I could make a trip out of it

Ooh ooh ooh did I tell you? I have applied to go part time and have had a very favourable initial response. It seems there is some sympathy here for working parents and how tricky it can be to juggle work with rigid school hours. So I may not just be tied to weekends

TooTicky · 20/05/2008 13:21

I was seeing them curled up in a pie dish

TigerFeet · 20/05/2008 13:23

I'm in Lincolnshire Osmosis

Toes are hairy but only 10 of them

I am not particularly healthy looking. Overweight and tired and I have scales dry skin patches. I always imagine that the rest of you are lithe and bendy and full of energy with a readybrek glow [deluded]

OsmosisBanana · 20/05/2008 13:23

LOL!

OsmosisBanana · 20/05/2008 13:28

I think only the purest have the readybrek glow.

F&Z defo
Lully defo
Bero defo

See - not so many.

MrsCarrot · 20/05/2008 13:39

lol at Franny and Lully being associated with ready brek

ahundredtimes · 20/05/2008 13:41

I am a sprite. A refusenik sprite.

OsmosisBanana · 20/05/2008 13:42

Has she resurfaced yet? Lully that is?

I did think about putting you on the list MrsC but thought you might have had too much crying chocloate to qualify.

Stringent guidelines see.

TigerFeet · 20/05/2008 13:43

I aspire to readybrekglowness

I take Kiki superfood and everything

Sadly my 10/10 efforts are countered by my many and varied bad habits
