Fruity Bitches at your Cervix - 10/10 thread, all welcome

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 herehere and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

LOL FmF
being pg and naked is 'artistic' innit

Tatties · 15/07/2008 09:00

Oh give over

That photo was taken in very dim light and I have plenty of me looking horrendous

Tatties · 15/07/2008 09:09

I think it feels less rude to be naked when pg because you have your big bump to obscure things.

TigerFeet · 15/07/2008 09:17

Fabulous bump Fran . If it's any consolation I was barrelling headlong towards 16st when dd came along. I lost 1.5st within a couple of weeks.

Sometimes I feel such a fraud being on this thread. I now weigh twice as much as most of you lot (apart from Fran ).

I have no nekkid pics of me being pg. Only a very few clothed ones too. I did not look good at all but now I regret not taking a few more pics. I have some from when I was about 34 weeks and that's about it

Such a lot has happened since I was last posting properly... I am going to have to go back and read the thread again and make notes as I have things to congratulate/commiserate

FrannyandZooey · 15/07/2008 09:21

Tiger you daftie
we don't care what you weigh
you will have more room to pack in f+v

Tatties · 15/07/2008 09:25

I am the biggest fraud here atm as I am not eating enough fruit

filthymindedvixen · 15/07/2008 09:27

I am mostly eating cherries from my tree. And farting a lot accordingly...

Tatties · 15/07/2008 09:32

I bet the cherries are delicious FMV. How is ds1 today?

Papillon · 15/07/2008 09:34

snort @ fmv!!!

hallo, its pop in paps here

I was made a beautiful juice last night of butternut pumpkin and apples.. I felt all zesty after that..

I am eating very tree ripened apples and mandarins, brussel sprouts and lots of butternut pumpkin.. I have developed a thing for pot roasts and through everything in, easy and delightful

hope life is good for everyone... peace x

TigerFeet · 15/07/2008 09:35

[snort] @ packing in more f&v. What I love about this thread is that I can eat, and then eat some more

four plums (will fart in the corner with FMF)

later I have veg soup, then something involving chicken and mushrooms and steamed veg for tea.

We are eating a lot of steamed veg atm. DH's work has plenty to spare atm so we have been eating cauli, broccoli, savoy and tenderstem broccoli in abundance along with carrots and local new potatoes that I had to pay for.

I did have two apples but they were grim, one bite out of each then in the bin. Why is it that soft pairs are nice and hard pears are horrid, but hard apples are nice and soft apples are horrid?

Tatties · 15/07/2008 09:36

Hello Paps!

Boco · 15/07/2008 09:49

Good morning. Dd 2 had a terrible night with wheezing again, and has chest pains and a sore throat and a horrid cough. She's a bit panicky about her breathing this morning so want to get her seen as we're goign away.

My doctor is away, so have to see our ex-doctor. This is making me anxious as I once told a mental health social worker that he was a breast staring weirdo with a bowl haircut and that he was crap and didn't listen. I then found out that he was married to this social worker (I'd wondered why she'd gone all blotchy) because I saw them holding hands in matching anoraks at a village fete. So, I've avoided eye contact with him ever since and now i have to go and see him. So, wish me luck, I'm scared that nerves may make me flash my nipples at him, or slap him, or jibber uncontrollably.

filthymindedvixen · 15/07/2008 09:57

ok, have uploaded some photos - for MN mates. Please let me know if I have omitted anyone who needs to see them...

filthymindedvixen · 15/07/2008 10:07

ds is off school again, he is much improved but keeps getting temp spikes, so we are having a duvet day and will go to allotment later for some fresh air.

Guadalupe · 15/07/2008 10:09

Boco - I don't believe you. That is too weird a story even for your weirdy life.

Where are all the pictures gone. Tatties, put your nipples back at once.

Guadalupe · 15/07/2008 10:09

add me please

FrannyandZooey · 15/07/2008 10:10

lovely pictures, really lovely

Boco · 15/07/2008 10:10

It's true, I promise! I wish it wasn't.

But Filthy - where are your nipples? Clothed shots just won't cut it round here anymore.

Lovely pictures though - and your ds looks just like my dp when he was small.

Guadalupe · 15/07/2008 10:12

yes, fmv, beautiful pictures, I particularly like the red stripe on the cup

OsmosisBanana · 15/07/2008 10:17

i can see stripy buns (arf) but nothing else. LET ME IN!!!

God, I feel very agitated for you Fran. 2 days over and I was frothing at the mouth.

Tatties · 15/07/2008 10:28

FMV I love your pictures! Hope fresh air at the allotment does you both good

Poor dd Boco. And oh dear about doctor [eek]

TigerFeet · 15/07/2008 10:29

I would love to see pics too

OB wasn't it disappointing? The crikkit I mean.

TigerFeet · 15/07/2008 10:30

Gorgeous pics tatties. Those eyes! [melt]

filthymindedvixen · 15/07/2008 10:30

ok, very tiny nekkid pic (cannot get it to go bigger, you'll all be pleased to hear )
Guad - I put your old name on... will add you and OB now. Tiger, thought I had added you...

Guadalupe · 15/07/2008 10:30

ooh lovely, Tatties
