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 like shiny shoots v much indeed
but it should be shiny shiny shiny shoots of lentils

oh I had scan! was fine. Not especially emotional or anything as the sonographer was really quite grumpy but it was nice to see it
it had hand in front of face mostly, got one good photo which I'll try to link later, placenta is anterior and not low lying, head was down, she didn't say position but I am thinking LOA to be technical

ds has had most marvellous afternoon in garden cafe playing with some big boys and some balloon swords. His was pink which amused me for some reason.

am about to eat epic salad

arternoon 100
like I haven't seen you around practically EVERY DAY

ahundredtimes · 11/06/2008 17:35

Oh you had a scan! How fantastic. Did the baby look all squashed in? Oooh that is exciting actually isn't it?

And also

Noooo. I've done wonderfully well. I made two name changing visits. That was all.

I posted that twice to represent both visits.

Hullo 100x. How is the placard waving going? I signed as promised, and was EXTREMELY THRILLED to see myself on the list..

FrannyandZooey · 11/06/2008 17:38

oh it was so more than two 100
I saw three personally myself

no it didn't look squashed, you only got to see a little bit of it at a time, but it seems to have an unfeasibly large head much like ds, then

anyway will do photo later - showed it to a friend and she said "why have they zoomed in so much?"
I explained that was how big the baby WAS now, they couldn't get any further away

ahundredtimes · 11/06/2008 17:40

Oh thank you talilac. Am really pleased you signed.

Yes you are right, it is three. LOL. I went and checked. God, I'm rubbish aren't I. And I LIE to myself. And I did the placard waving thread too.

It's like I've never bin away.

FrannyandZooey · 11/06/2008 17:41

was there signing? I didn't see signing
I should have read the thread properly really shouldn't I?

so did you actually get any work done in between amusing me and being political, 100?

ahundredtimes · 11/06/2008 17:43

Yes. Am doing proper hours pretty much during week. Just as well, what with the lying and the self-deceit taking up so much time.

Gosh. You're going to have a baby Franny. It's good isn't it? It's gone quick you know, I think it's gone quick.

zippitippitoes · 11/06/2008 17:43

balloon swords

surely this is not good?

lovely that scan all fine

sad that it was not more cheery

i have ronaldo to watch on tv

UnderRated · 11/06/2008 17:48

A G&T is rather appealling. Alas, I am teetotal these days so will have to make do with pink lemonade (with a sprig of mint from the garden)

Glad scan was ok

FrannyandZooey · 11/06/2008 18:14

I don't like swords as you know
this was a long balloon apparently the right shape to be considered a sword
ds was most pleased
he also picks up sticks and says they are swords
I don't buy him pretend swords (or allow my effing mother to buy them for him )

I just ate the nicest salad
avocado (most of one), coleslaw made by dp with red cabbage, carrot, raisins and seeds,
artichoke hearts, spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, eggs, new potatoes

I am stirfrying a stirfry. Well, more frying than stirring as dd2 is attached to my breast.

TooTicky · 11/06/2008 18:17

Am wondering what the dcs will make of the "Funky Black Noodles".

UnderRated · 11/06/2008 18:20

Why are they black?

Boco · 11/06/2008 18:21

Franny glad scan went well - could you really spot 100x? What were her names? You have special x-ray vision don't you.

TooTicky · 11/06/2008 18:23

UR, they are hijiki

TooTicky · 11/06/2008 18:23

"Franny glad scan went well - could you really spot 100x?"

TooTicky · 11/06/2008 18:24

Franny, no wonder you are large!

Glad it went well thgough

FrannyandZooey · 11/06/2008 18:25

I didn't spot her properly this time, no
I spotted someone very funny and she later told me it was her - I was gutted as I wanted the person to be a real person not 100 being naughty

Boco · 11/06/2008 18:25

Eww, yes, that does sound peculiar, not in her actual womb of course, no.

Boco · 11/06/2008 18:25

So, who was 100 when she was being naughty?

Guadalupe · 11/06/2008 18:26

where did 100 change names?

Were you a fruit?

This cold has gone in my ear and I can't hear A GODDAMM THING, everyone is talking and they sound like they are in a faraway cave with socks over their face. I keep drinking rose to forget about it but it is proving tricky.
