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

Morning. I did something confusing this weekend. Might not be around for a while whilst I try and get my head together.

No F&V since Saturday.

Is it full moon?

fullmoonfiend · 30/05/2008 12:15

what's up OB?

MrsCarrot · 30/05/2008 12:15

since saturday? BERLIMEY

It's not full moon, no, look in the corner of the screen, it's a tiny crescent.

Hope things settle down for you.

stuffitllama · 30/05/2008 12:19

Osmo hope you're ok
hope you can talk about it somewhere

OsmosisBanana · 30/05/2008 12:20

Hopefully sleep will help. Time is a great healer and all that shit.

stuffitllama · 30/05/2008 12:27

take care, you sound very troubled

gawd that's enough to muddle anybody up
o gtg

MrsCarrot · 30/05/2008 12:43

assumed it was something like that

I imagine it's largely come down, wait and see if you still feel awful by next week and if you do, work on relationship troubles then. You could just put it down to high spirits (scuse pun) and make sure it doesn't happen again.

stuffitllama · 30/05/2008 12:44

sorry had to go for a sec

OsmosisBanana · 30/05/2008 12:44

Good advice MrsC.

stuffitllama · 30/05/2008 12:45

I mean (not shocked or anything) I would feel muddled after that ..is it something you want to forget .. maybe if you all want to forget it then it can just fade away

OsmosisBanana · 30/05/2008 12:48

It's not the act itself that horrifies me, it's the fear of the unknown.

What if DH keeps banging on (no pun intended!) about it and wants to do it again? What if she wants to do it again? What if I have images of the two of them haunting me?

stuffitllama · 30/05/2008 12:50

Have you talked about it? Can you say to your mate/or dh "Oh my god, never, ever again" in a light way just making sure all around get the message without making a big deal out of it

MrsCarrot · 30/05/2008 12:52

most of us have had that morning after feeling that lasts all week at some point, some of us more points than others. I hate that toe curling feeling when you keep remembering and thinking that you can't look someone in the eye again, whether it's because you don't want to or ought not to.

Try and forget about it for now and do some nice family things this weekend. You might even laugh about it at some point, it's worth attempting to anyway.

lazarou · 30/05/2008 12:53

A friend of mine once invited me to have a 3some with her boyfriend. She just rang me out of the blue. I declined.

Just try and forget about it....

[useless advice emoticon]

MrsCarrot · 30/05/2008 12:54

oh, assumed it was a man for some reason, thought you said dh best friend

why your ex best friend?

Well, you have to lay down the ground rules about it not happening again, the images might stay with you but there you are! You are probably feeling paranoid at the moment. That will settle then you can see how you feel.

Right we are off to see sea-creatures now.

stuffitllama · 30/05/2008 12:54

have seen your other thread, I hope you get some good advice

am rather hopeless in that department and like to brush things under the carpet and smile brightly when they happen to me

OsmosisBanana · 30/05/2008 12:57

Yep. I have a very lumpy carpet where many things have been shoved, hopefully never to see the light of day.

stuffitllama · 30/05/2008 13:00

lol

some places i can't go even in my own head
nail the damn rug down

MrsCarrot · 30/05/2008 13:16

Boco sounds brighter, she liked the jokes, phone was off last night and they should be coming home tomorrow. Hooray.

OsmosisBanana · 30/05/2008 13:17

Just rang DH and had a cry on the phone. Apparently he has pink sparkly toenails. Feel a bit better now, so hopefully it is mainly come down related.

I think an enormous glass of red wine and an equally enormous plate of chips vegetables are in order when I get in.

stuffitllama · 30/05/2008 13:34

yes a good cry helps doesn't it
and a bath and a decent meal and doing something practical
and achieving, or nice with the children

pink sparkly toenails.. also a hangover of the weekend dare i ask

stuffitllama · 30/05/2008 13:35

i sound so old and mumsy

stuffitllama · 30/05/2008 13:35

great news about boco btw
where is zippi?
