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

Yes she's real. Well, she's my step-sister. In real actual life. I also thinks she lurks here. [suspicious]

Hello

The only vegetables I have eaten today are hula hoops.

But I am going to tell you about my cleaning whether you like it or not.

I have just cleaned my oven, like properly scrubbed it, took the glass out and scrubbed it, soaked the rack in the bath, scrubbed the hob, scrubbed the gril pan, wiped down the front and all the cupboards.

Now I am going to clean the floors. I am feeling a little manic.

Boco · 21/01/2009 13:37

You are nesting! This means the baby is coming! Get some towels and hot water! Don't use the greasy oven water!

If you say that hula hoops are vegetables here, you get put in a pit, and in your condition it'd be hard to get you back out. Fake something to do with a mango.

FairLadyRantALot · 21/01/2009 13:42

awww...surely franny would not put a pg lady into the pit?

lolling at hulahoops being vegetables

banana
onion
salad
peppadew things (loads)
apple

and am making felafels with an enormous carrot/apple/radish type salad with lots of tahini and badness So will easily be 10 once I squeeze in another banana (don't go there those filthy of mind). Not a steak in sight [happy] [who knows]

I shall probably lose another 2 fingers as usually happens when I get the mandolin out and glibly discard the safety guard. And they are my last 2 fingers!!

I've just written 3 pages on the strengths and weknesses of official stats. So dull. And I will have forgotten it ALL by the exam tomorrow.

Have your fingers warmed up yet TooTsHooT?

OsmosisBanana · 21/01/2009 14:04

Oh I ran for 20 mins too! I feel quite sick.

TooT, I think you have to say something about the washing up water. Can you just take the things and wash them?

I wouldn't kick Obama out of bed for spilling crumbs

Sorry about the MS TF Hope it goes soon.

MarkStretch you can come in the pit with me - we'll haul each other out. I'm still working on Spotty about the weekend

pinkspottywellies · 21/01/2009 15:17

Yes it's obviously a good one Avi! I liked Franny's swede one too for next week.

TinyWhiteFeather · 21/01/2009 15:33

For 'next week' pink....you're expecting us to talk a lot of crap deep meaningful intellectual discourse then !?
