Bring me the head of Alfalfa Garcia - 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.

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

guadalupe, it sounds very lovely and romantic. i only know samphire boiled with butter, but my mum does equal amounts of butter / veg.

[fire brigade have arrived]

I think the romance passed us by today

Do you mean actually blown up, fishie?

I love a good birth story too. Had ds2 at home - it was so special. He turns 5 this week and sleeps in the room he was born in. Sigh. Still go in there to tuck him in sometimes and remember the labour - how I whinged all the way through about how much it hurt, and crapped all over my hand embroidered Turkish quilt.

Thanks for the wee help. Will not do 10 pm waking then. Will just ride it out and continue using towels.

You'll proabably have a new thread in the morning which is just as well as my F&V intake has been quite bad (weekend away from home excuse)

I went to Michigan. Was lovely.

Bananas, icecream, fruit strudel, sweets, bananas, popcorn, bananas

I love samphire

DS's name is common but Welsh. I pronounce it the Welsh way but everyone else says it wrong. My own fault for picking it really but doesn't bother me too much. I hate when people spell names incorrectly. Especially teachers. And when they shorten names without being told they can. Grrr
