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

Would have been fun if you'd bumped into Lully. She was in London today.

TooTicky · 18/12/2008 20:39

Hello Feather, how are you?

FrayedKnot · 18/12/2008 20:39

I am walking on my hands just in case anyone thinks about grabbing my ankles.

Glad day went well Franny. How are your ducts?

TooTicky · 18/12/2008 20:40

Dd2 is now wearing ds2's T shirt, backwards. She has removed the school jumper.
Ds2 has just taken off dd2's dress, tights and cardigan.

I am going to someone's 21st tonight FGS. I am going to be surrounding by young, sylph like things with nary a whisper of child vom about them.

I have drunk 1/2 a bottle of wine.

I DO look fabulous, it has to be said. I have made a beehive. If you have seen my poor excuse for hair (tell em TooT) you would understand the feat of engineering that this is.

I have used nearly a litre of hairspray, if you turned on the radiator in the room i would ignite.

Sorry to be sef-obsessed....................

Passes Osba a paper bag,

DasherDancerPrancerFMVixen · 18/12/2008 21:06

It's Not FAAIIRRR! I wanna go party!

OB, post a pic, please on FB

TigerFeet · 18/12/2008 21:06

mmmm caaake, ta SB [slurp]

My Christmas cake is a triumph. I made a mahoosive one, cut it into chunks and passed it to the favoured few. Everyone who has had some has commented on its marvellousness. It is very moist [preen]

I have had a good sized lump of it today and am counting the froot in my daily allowance.

We are eating lots of sprouts atm. I heart sprouts very much. DH is v busy at work bringing sprouts to the masses. Millions and millions of th elittle green feckers are on their way to the plates of the nation as we speak

DasherDancerPrancerFMVixen · 18/12/2008 21:06

OB, they will treat you as an agony aunt, because you are 'mature'

TigerFeet · 18/12/2008 21:09

OsBA I have beehive envy. Have just realised who you are on FB having forgotten who everyone is and which veggers I am friends with.

I wanna go to a party too.

I have no actual life at all

SuperBunny · 18/12/2008 21:10

Yes, we need a pic, OB. Have fun!

I am not a fan of sprouts, I'm afraid. But I always have 1 for xmas dinner just to please my mother. It is hard to believe I am 30 and 5000 miles away from her...

OsmosisFaLaLaLaLa · 18/12/2008 21:20

There will be a pic. Once the hangover has subsided. I'm orf.

TinyWhiteFeather · 18/12/2008 21:23

Curious...What is a 'party'?

TigerFeet · 18/12/2008 21:25

Mou, I understand that people occasionally like to stand or sit in the same room, chat and drink together. Often there is dancing and/or jocularity. A beehive hair-do is optional. So I'm told anyway.
