Should old tom-ay-toes be forgot and lemon brought to rind - 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

think of it as a mini detox boco - see it is working well apart from cigarettes and alcohol

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 22:44

At least you will be thin.

I had a very um, nice dream last night and I was THIN. I woke up determined never to eat again.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 22:44

oh and they will burn out eventually - what with war rations and all.

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 22:44

Bee wanted a midwife so I made her one out of blu tack to say sorry for calling her a fucker.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 22:45

(she is already quite thin though - i hope she makes it through the night)

i want to be thin.

Boco · 31/12/2008 22:45

This is like the opposite of a detox really. But the good thing is I have a car to smoke in. I don't even like it, it made my head spin and I felt a bit sick.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 22:45

i liked it when you called me a fucker

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 22:46

I want a rolly now. I want to be thin and smoke rollys and have a violent aversion to cheese.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 22:46

i think i shoul dbe all stern and anne about the smoking but i am not very good aat that - oh hang on - i will do this

(if only there was the equilvant in RL)

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 22:47

Did you?

I will do it again but when you are least expecting it.

Boco · 31/12/2008 22:47

I liked it when you called me a stupid pervert once Bbee. [misty eyed]

I'm not that thin. I think i'll last quite a while.

Where is Franny? Wasn't she here a minute a go.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 22:47

if franny comes in and we are all smoking and exchanging eating disorder tips she will be cross.

Boco · 31/12/2008 22:49

I haven't smoked for AGES - I'm not even a smoker, no. It just seemed like the right thing to do, with teh food and the new year and the children and the not doing anything and the strange internet things. I will have to smoke them all before tomorrow though, nad then be done with it.

Boco · 31/12/2008 22:50

You're right Bbee - sorry Franny.

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 22:54

I am not sorry, but then, there's nothing new there.

I am sorry Franny is not here, just not for smoking and wanting diet tips.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 22:54

i am really glad you are here. cigrettes are funny - i think buying them when you donlt smoke anymore is a bit of a 'fuck off world' thing to do. i have done it and then you always feel a bit of a numpty but it does make you feel better.

get a cigar next time - i liked it when carrot did that

I think I am the fucker.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 22:55

are you dieting your eating in the new year carrot?

BBBee · 31/12/2008 22:56

(sang to the tune 'i am the apeman')

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 22:57

Nope.

Operation starvation here we come.

Cept there are bagels for breakfast. Oh god I am so crap.

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 22:58

On friday I am having a hot stone therapy at the thai place you all bought me a voucher for. I have made an apoointmemtn a few times but have had to cancel for various reasons. They have xtended voucher twice.

Anyway they have a gym there and I am going to join it. Yes I am.

I used to be very fit.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 22:58

dp is back doing sitting and being ill - see you later.

Boco · 31/12/2008 23:00

But you don't have to apologise for smoking Guad, because you're not, you're just eating nice snacks, which is allowed. I've come in reeking of shandy booze and marlborough lights.

Dp has put the girls to bed - hooray. I think they were a bit freaked out at not being put to bed for so long that it stopped being fun and they started hanging around with pom pom creations and rubbing their eyes.

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 23:02

Yes, but I might in a minute. May as well burn off a few more cilia.
