I shallot the sheriff....but I did not shoot the celery - 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

ooh lully sent me that conscious chocolate
gorgeous

Ha ha, did he sit on it?

Do you eat a lot of orange? Lemons/limes not as bad but orange is a classic skin irritant.

There are lots of nice foods! Don't be miserable.

Hi Toot.

well there are those sugar-free booja boojas that have to be kept in the fridge. They are damned good.

Hello Guad

Yes, I am going to send those.

and I might buy myself some too!

yes loads of satsumas
ds2 loves also
i know am being childish about it but i do like food [grump]

Um, is ds2 actually eating satsumers?

Guad, you are the Orange Police. Will be in town about 4ish if that's any good for a vegan hot chocolate? In honour of Franny we could have it chocolate free?

well
a little bit yes
but have stopped now as it upset his tummy
i know it was silly

and it was AFTER his eczema started
i didn't actually know was skin irritant, but is certainly bot irritant
my word he loved them though

oh wow the dermatology appointment is here! 12th feb
great
she's done it online and sent me the details - how fab

They do love them, ds2 dives on the veg box to find the oranges and I have to hide them quickly. The others are allowed an odd one in their lunch but ds1 notices dry excema ish skin on his mouth if he eats a lot.

If you eat a lot and he's actually eaten some then I might try that before cutting out dairy to be honest. Especially juice.

Satsumas and the like are the food of satan where children are concerned IMO. They are full of salycilites (?) which are like a natural e-number and turn my children into evil, horned, mini-trolls.

My arms are just....well arms really!

I ran brilliantly and was very, very chuffed and had a doughnut as a reward!!lol

Why is it one day in the city and it looks like my house was raided?

It is a BEAUTIFUL day in the peak district.

I feel a bit 'normal', which might only last a couple of hours but gives me something to look forward to when I am 'better'.

Our dietician said not to give ds oranges as it exacerbates children's excema no end.
Would it be easier to cut them out first?

Boco - yes, 4pm is fine. Where?

What the 'f' are booja booja's?

glad you've got an appointment, fran.

Don't get too hung up on what food to give to ds2.

Booja Booja are dairy free chocolates, mou, and they don't feel like a punishment.

It is important not get obsessed with food, pointy, but then you will try anything if your baby is covered in itchy soreness.

Are you coming this end, Boco, or hanging about nearer to the station?

yup i only gave them once guad and the eczema already started before then
i will stop eating them myself (they are so ruddy nice and sweet though)
am drinking apple juice today is that ok?
i am into dairy free mindset now so don't want to stop and start
i will stop citrus also

ok pointy
he is just having fruit and veg and bread atm so hopefully not much harm to be done

Toot, phone an charge as it runs down from me listening to music on it all the time......but 'ello!

Aaaahhhhh...do they do Apple pie Guad? [hopeful]

what about pineapple guad?

It's so hard isn't it, you feel guilty and you are just trying to do the right thing. Just think, if it makes a difference in 10 -14 days then great. If not, you have your appointment and you can stuff cheese again!

I will get those chocs today. You need them.

lol you don't really need to send chocolate! i'll live [eeyore]
