Pak choi to the world - the gourd is come! 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.

Thank you so much for the title. I was having a hard time remembering which Christmas song my stocking holders played, and it was driving me crazy, and I wasn't going to climb into the attic with all the spiders to find out. I now remember it was Joy to the World.

Now my day can go on and be much better.

Rhubarb, juice, peach. But it is only 10:32 here.

Good thing sweet potatoes count.

Rhubarb? where are you dooney?!

I'm at home.

lol !

Sorry, I make comments like that all the time. I can't help it.

I'm in Oregon. Rhubarb was cheap and plentiful at the farmer's market, and I froze a lot. Actually, I'm not sure if it should count, as it was in a coffee cake, and obviously needed sugar to be edible, but I plonked a whole lot in there, and ate quite a bit.

The peach was also frozen, and thawed and had in a nice bowl of milk.

I am in no position to argue whether anyone's food items count dooney!! so dont worry!

idris i am concerned about your nose
mind you owen wilson broke his nose several times and he's alright

right some people are suspected of harbouring coke. and nuts. and if 100 comes back probably brie and coffee. it's all got to change

Hello sinking, welcome.

Oh sorry it is YOUR nose, idris. I skimmed and thought it was DD's. Ouch. They hurt SO much, don't they? Have you put ice on it?

Half and half. Not sure if it is called something different there, so I said milk to be not confusing.

god my feet are cold

condensed milk?

I have NO coke. Or nuts at the moment

wonders if I need to hide wine...

No, half and half is half milk and half cream. Condensed milk is the same.

No, no need to hide wine.

what is the point in half milk and half cream CB?!

TooT, soemone was murdered there

I drove past this morning going to work and then looked it up on Wiltshire times website.

Hello everyone

Half a stone is impressive, Franny. Is it bad that he put it on? Will he be able to lose it again? I need to lose weight but it doesn't seem to be shifting even when I run 3 times a week and eat nowt but F&V.

Murder?

I don't understand half and half. I don't use it.

murdered?

I lost a stone over Christmas [nonchalant]
