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 am confused (not confusing)

FrayedKnot · 10/07/2008 21:59

I am nervous about 100's strenuous ideas.

I went to the gym today

Is that not enough for you?

Slightly nervous also about hand rubbing, bouncing and a pineapple, let alone a pony.

I make dp change all the time. Usually into something without holes in.

What shall we play then? We're never all here at once, quick!

Hello again

DD was a similarly "pleasant" birth to fmv's DS2. Slept nicely all night, woke up about 6:30am (before DS and DH), at 6:45 realised I was having contraction, by 7 realised I was really having contractions, woke DH about 7:15, we got to hospital about 9:30 and DD was born at 1:26pm .

Bbbee · 10/07/2008 21:59

oh 100 - i do so love your dp - what was he wearing? did he do a sigh?

the best was the announcement of being his favourite peopl etc. etc. at the dinner party.

Boco · 10/07/2008 22:00

not that we're all here now - but you know bee and 100 are not around much.

pinkspottywellies · 10/07/2008 22:00

Night night you crazy bunch of veggers. I'll keep looking in Franny. I've got your stickers ready. There wasn't one for 'I did a good show' though.

Bbbee · 10/07/2008 22:00

I can never invent games but I am very enthusastic.

FrannyandZooey · 10/07/2008 22:01

LOL Pink
night all
xxx

Bbbee · 10/07/2008 22:01

let's guess with the size of fruit how big franny's baby's head is.

coconut.

ahundredtimes · 10/07/2008 22:02

He's just rung and complained. He wishes he hadn't gone, he didn't know why he did, he wishes he was here with me. It was too dark and too noisy, he had to shout in people's ears, he didn't no many people and he doesn't want to socialize with writers, so why did he go?

Oh well, I chirruped, you looked good.

Zippi - I am eating muesli if that helps at all?

Guadalupe · 10/07/2008 22:02

watermelon

FrannyandZooey · 10/07/2008 22:02

zippitippitoes · 10/07/2008 22:02

Bbbee · 10/07/2008 22:03

squashier - like a butternut squash?

Guadalupe · 10/07/2008 22:03

oops, thought you'd gone

Boco · 10/07/2008 22:03

Where did Mr100 go? Somewhere loud and dark with writers in? What is that?

ahundredtimes · 10/07/2008 22:03

Did I really type no instead of know? That's quite worrying isn't it?

Where is FK? I am very fond of FK.

A game.

Right.

Can we pretend we are midwives in Sebastapol or somewhere. In bustles, and with capable arms but tragic backstories?

Bbbee · 10/07/2008 22:04

now dd has picked up baby carrot's sleep vibes and is doing shouting.

FrannyandZooey · 10/07/2008 22:04

zippi are you being RUDE to the afflicted

ahundredtimes · 10/07/2008 22:04

That is a Beeb party somewhere of Piccadilly.

Boco · 10/07/2008 22:04

Better something small and squashy like a plum that expands after it's come out.

FrannyandZooey · 10/07/2008 22:05

or worse in case people DON'T talk about me more

Bbbee · 10/07/2008 22:05

oh yes - and we have to do very creative rituals with labouring women.

Guadalupe · 10/07/2008 22:05

100 - I NOticed the NO
