Fruity is in the pie of the beholder - 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.

S'up y'all.

2x bananas
pepper
carrot
leaves
lots of peas later

so 7 I reckon

hmm. better buy some fruit on my lunch break.

Are we still not counting peanuts?

I made an incredibly good satay thingy yesterday. Normally I struggle with egg noodles but I have cracked it.

However, what with the good money luck and successful satay the god of 'oh you're having too much good fortune' has come and smote me with the very painful crick in the neck stick. Bastard. He is always watching.

It is not raining!!! For the first time in AGES!!!!! Maybe even years!

Best go and do my onerous banking tasks before that god comes along again.

melon, pomeganate, nectarine, rasps, strawbs. Another 3 so that makes 10.

Yay!

I am going to do a little run tonight even though it has started chucking it down again.

Festival not looking good at all.

OB, you about next Weds?

Thank you everybody for the lovely messages btw. I am reeling somewhat from googling and wishing I had done more research earlier as I could have been asking useful questions. It seems that homeopathy can be effective in treating cataracts but is best used early. As ds2's is caused by trauma it is developing quickly so not sure if it is in early stages or not. Am also wondering if postponing op is an option. Have received remedy from homeopath, not had time to give it to him yet. Dp in favour of op. Perhaps I should pretend, to myself and poss to homeopath, that dp insisted on op. Dunno. I need a decision one way or t'other, then I can get on with it.

I am. You in Briz for the eye thing?

I think I would go for the op too.

Yep, 11am. About an hour, possibly 3 hours
And we have to take a sample of wee. Wee! It's an eye hospital fgs.

I'll email you my work no. Call me when you're done and we'll go for a coffee or summat or I can come and stroke your hand and lead you to olives. St Nicks market is full of stalls for hippies vegan folk.

Ha ha, I have visions of me phoning and saying, "Hello, is OsmosisBanana there please?"
I am bad at remembering that you all have other names.

They think I'm odd anyway.

Have spent the day roaming and we went to the grounds of the castle where there was an amazingly good storyteller, I was totally gripped - and the children were too. Dragons and magicians and treasure, was good. We had a fruity picnic.

Oooooooooh that sounds lovely Boco
Ds is very into castles at the moment,he tells me he used to live in one but now it is ruined

We went to see The Fox & the Child,it was stunningly beautiful but very traumatic.Poor ds,he is now the protector of foxes.

waited an hour & ten mins for a bus on the way home,in the pouring rain.

Helloooo

Bowl of fruit salad
Nectarine
Apple x 2
Aubergine
Green Beans
Cherry Toms
Olives
Salad Leaves
Cucumber
Green Pepper
Courgette
Aubergine (again)

Not all portion sized but still...

DS needs a bath so although I have read I have to go now

Back later

Public transport in the rain can be miserable.

We went to the beach. Was lovely til DS and his friend ran away toward the carpark and wouldn't stop. I had to kick my flipflops off and sprint to get them and then they stood and laughed We came home

Banana, oat & choc chip pancakes, pesto quesadillas, must go shopping for F&V

V good, FK

bloody hell FK - you must get the sticker for today!

whizzing in and back later to display my vegetables.

mesntime any nutriotion experts come to my lonely thread because i am an idiot

Bbbee, if I could help, I would but I know nuffink, sorry

parents have been and gone
ds2 had a lovely day and was really quite nicely settled and had alert periods and slept well and did smiling at people a bit and looking about and stuff
and my mum went ON and ON about him grizzling when he has wind and making a HUGE deal of it and just random shite comments like "I wonder how much milk he is actually getting?" about me bfing him
NO-ONE KNOWS OR NEEDS TO CARE THAT IS HALF THE POINT OF IT

sorry

I said to her in the end after endless speculation about medical nature of ds being a bit windy at end of day "if you went to a doctor and said 'my baby cries a bit in the evening what shall I do' they would laugh at you"
am I mad? babies cry a bit in the evenings, don't they? am I meant to be worried about this?

veg soup with beans and lentils
stuffed red pepper with cauli cheese in
carrots
broccoli

satsuma and glass of soya milk that ds1 brought me about 8.30 am when we were still sorting out ds2 and hadn't got down for breakfast yet
he disappeared off downstairs and came back with one for each of us (his own idea)
"I think we had better have these Mummy"

No Franny, you're absolutely right. Babies have always cried a bit in the evening. That's what they do.

That's what grannies in rocking chairs were for actually, rocking and holding the crying baby, not fretting and winding up the tired mother with strange comments, maybe point out she's not really living up to her traditional role, rock, smile, shhhhhhh.

Oh avi I do KNOW it but I can't completely ACCEPT it
and whenever something big happens to me, like a twat I want my mother to be there being helpful and reassuring
I don't think I will ever really get it in my head it DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT

I am so needy for approval right now
can people please say I have done well and so on?
I feel really undermined by her little comments

Boco EXACTLY
please can you tell her

Of course you are right, Franny. Babies cry.

Let it wash over you like a big wave.....

Look, there it goes, right out to sea, bye bye unhelpful comments

Even though I would never use the term "Bless his cotton socks", I am thinking it about DS1
