Bring me the head of Alfafa Garcia - 10 / 10 thread

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

ah, tis only because my photos are on filthymindedvixen's profile and not fullmoonfiend's IFSWIM. Damn me and my gemini quadruple dual personality thingy.

fullmoonfiend · 19/08/2008 21:18

PMSL - your bloke and mine must be related....

TigerFeet · 19/08/2008 21:19

BE I saw that at your house and I thought it was a plant pot or something

OsmosisBanana · 19/08/2008 21:44

I am clean! And prob a couple of lbs lighter as a result.

Now then is TooT around?

I have a plan... Wednesdays is Farmers MArket on Corn St. Not even 100m from eye hosp. What could be more 10/10?? Prob best to email her at home I guess.

BabiesEverywhere · 19/08/2008 21:45

I haven't dare try the pot myself either, especially with a boy...I didn't realise that boy pee's in a big arch !!! I tried to catch a wee in a potty and missed most of it

Thanks for the congrats, Franny

pinkspottywellies · 19/08/2008 21:50

BE - was it you who used to go to a breastfeeding group with really crap hcp's who didn't encourage bf?!

FrayedKnot · 19/08/2008 21:57

My mind is boggling at the thought of Franny balancing DS, a laptop and a potty bowl all at the same time

BabiesEverywhere · 19/08/2008 22:01

PSW, It was indeed. In fact I think I might be poping by the group tomorrow to introduce my latest baby to them and to let them know I am sucessfully tandem nursing my newborn and toddler despite their crap support

Seeing as the HCA thinks you can't/shouldn't nurse beyond 4 months, a nursing 2 year old is beyond weird for her.

TigerFeet · 19/08/2008 22:04

So BE tell us how much f&v you've eaten today

BabiesEverywhere · 19/08/2008 22:06

I have eaten a grand total of one banana !!! (plus a small sheds worth of dark chocolate to boost my iron levels )

BabiesEverywhere · 19/08/2008 22:07

Is thisa a veg and fruit thread then ?!?

You wouldn't think so from the conversation

OsmosisBanana · 19/08/2008 22:08

pinkspottywellies · 19/08/2008 22:24

apple
melon
pineapple (smidge)
peaches

feeling quite chipper as ds2 slept from 10 till 2 am after I viciously swaddled him
dp feeling a bit hard done by as ds2 quite grumpy in evening (when dp takes over for a bit)
says he does not get a break some days after being at work all day
I pointed out at least he gets a break at NIGHT
he has however been ace

I feel really fat and frumpy

nothing will ever fit
I am doomed to spend the rest of my life in these 3 tops that are not even flattering

MamaG · 20/08/2008 09:15

does anybody live near me? (cumbria)

OsmosisBanana · 20/08/2008 09:17

sicky feeling gone. Amazing what a cup of tea can cure.

Right, I fear that TooT has set off for Bristol without my phone no (she says she has put it safely in her bag but thinks it may have gone, I know how these things work out) and she doesn't know her mobile no.

If anyone happens to know it could they email it to me?

Cheers.
