Should old tom-ay-toes be forgot and lemon brought to rind - 10/10 thread

[TooTickyDoves]

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

Hello

We don;t really "do" NYE

• or is it never get invited anywhere and can;t be arsed to have our own party

So I am having a massive house clearance to make room for the warehouse load of new toys we seem to have acquired and DH is painting a storage unit {grin]

Happy New Year everyone, probably see you all later

Am also nervously watching about one hundred gasmen dig up the gas main outside our house. At one point we had SEVEN vans outside. I almost thought they had come to have a party rather than actually work. I got quite excited.

Happy New Year chaps
I hate new year;s eve but love new year's day
we mostly go down the pier and it is usually bitter and wet and wonderful in an odd way
we do all the amusements and slot machines and rides and stuff
not convinced i will make it this year though, am coughy
have been out coughing on people sorry, people

Toot - what lovely stollen! I am afraid it's all gone. Thank you.

We have just been invited to a last minute thing. Bring the kids they say, they can watch films on the projector and babies can sleep. Hmm. Sleep? I don't think ds2 will sleep and dh isn't really up for it, more my friends really. He will come if I say he has to but he'd rather not.

I have to say the sofa seems appealing right now. A film and some champagne. We have takaways from the deli, mine is risotto stuffed pepper and it looks very nice. Maybe I will perk up later.

Ok, resolutions and all that - I manage my 5 a day (usually) and the thought of 10 is a bit daunting. But I want to become healthier and fitter, so can I join?

naswm - fancy seeing you here! I 'joined' yesterday. How did the loaf go?

hi Moveit (how do you usually abbreviate your name btw?!) - are we allowed to talk about bread on this thread ? but it was v nice!

Afternoon my dears

Welcome naswm. Dooneygirl says she will join us next week and I that am to nag her about it until she does.

Stuffit, the times look right to me. In fact, it is almsot mango's ny now.

Mushroom barley risotto, asparagus, green beans, juice, christmas cake (it is mainly fruit...) [5]

I fear my Christmas Cake is mostly brandy, SB

Mine has quite a lot of that in too!

Where is Feather? I hope she is okay.

Hello SB and FK and everybody

It was nice but we missed midnight through chatting, it was just three families and the children ran around outside with torches then we had sparklers once we had realised. People have gone home now -- what a mess we have all made. Happy New Year veggers, may 2009 bring you much contentment

Happy New Year 10/10ers.

(Hope to come back soon if I haven't been sent down or whatever the 10/10 version might be).

Hi all. I've been mildly stalking your thread the past few weeks, in preparation of trying to become a 10/10er for the new year. Which won't be easy, because I've come to the conclusion that I don't like fruits that well, and I have a life-long aversion to exercise, no matter how little it might be. But I've decided I need to get over both of those.

This week's a bit hectic, but I've told Superbunny that she has to nag me to be on here next week. Please feel free have her yell at me if I'm not on here, because I do avoid exercising at all cost.

happy lovely happy love love you wonderful sparkly fruiters!

(((HUG))) for tatties and lionheart

((lurch to right and then left)) for avi

(((awkward hug / kiss on the ear because misdirect and giggle for tiger)))

(((hug that smells of cooking for toot)))

(((variations of hug / kiss / handshake to everyone else)))

((naked hug for franny))

((( for those i miss))

(((wave and wink to carrot))

Hugs back, BBB ....

SB, I will ask TooT about you on FB, as I am crap at it!

Mou, I have had the holiday blues too. And i also did in the summer holidays. I have comeot the conclusion that I sadly like my routine life of term time and get a bit weirded out with no routine as usual.

Courgette
tomato
pepper ( 2 colours!)
spinach
leeks
pear
raisins
