Lentil Guru - is it stew? - 10 / 10 thread

[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

Who are you pomegranate person?

I have no idea who anyone is

Whoever is in pain I hope it gets better.

I am a bit grumpy at DH at the moment as he forgot teh PTA meeting I was meant to be going to at 8pm last night and so came home cheerfully at 8:50 finding grumpy me.

He said I should have texted him to remind him. I had said in the morning.

Humpf

Scrub the loo with his toothbrush

Where is everybody?

Hello, Toot - love your pithy new name
have been looking at the live chat with Kate somebody or other...like a lamb to the slaughter....!

I'm here
munching my way through a vast salad
tomato,cucumber,beetroot,cress,celery,rocket,avocado,spring onion,carrot,cauliflower & sunflower seeds

But what I really want is some of Toot's cake

& some gooseberry fool

Give us a clue Lychee (I was going to change to that last night afrer aPlum apparead....

3beans and sweet potato, banana, strawberries, cunting nectarine (or stone fruit, as it was curiously labelled)

I love gooseberry yoghurts at the moment

and asparagus, I am eating mounds of it every evening. Last night I just had asparagus with roasted veg and some parmesan and it was delicious. I had eaten fatly all day though.

Toot knows who I am

lolololol

Even DH who is allergic to frilly food likes asparagus. Even though yer wee smells funny...

God we are overloading on the stuff atm as every roadside stall sells it & oodles of cherries too

Am about too demolish half a watermelon

it does smell vile but it is worth it

oh now you've done it...charries and wetermelon are my favourite fruits....Must. Find. Cherries!!

Last time we had asparagus I didn't use it soon enough and it went sort of slimy and fishy. Haven't bought it since then.

Is there any reason one can't grow one's own cherries in this country?

Who are you all?

Who is apomegranate?!!!!!!

And aFishfinger - are you MrsC?

I have 3 cherries on my cherry tree.

I saw some cherries in M&S the other day, reduced from £14/kg to £10/kg with a big sign saying "Now £4/kg less!"

How much per cherry then?

20p? 25p?

I like cherries but not that much!

No no no

fish fingers & diet coke?
clear off & stop sullying the thread

Dh's toothbrush is looking white & sparkly
must be all the nice green cleaning products

Thought I might as well join in

Wanted aRaspberry but it was already in use

Hello veggers

Am getting back to fruity normal now that the house move is done, so thought I'd pop my head back in. Today's tally is: banana, apple, pear, carrots, melon. There may be more later.

-->>>>>>> good health vibes to all the sick peeps
