There's nothing swede about me - 10/10

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

Polly you'll never achieve 10/10, you'll be on a diet of dripping and bread pudding!

Spinach lawn sounds lovely actually.

Appalling NHS service Guad.

pollycazalet · 28/01/2009 13:22

Lemur....Errr the bit where melman gets nature on him and gets hysterical going 'get it off...get it off'

I said something about having H in the house and wanting him out..

Dustball blows across the yurt.......

Squonk! wow, so d'ya do hugs? can I give you a 'pleasure to have you here' sort of one?

Only eating celery cos I bought it on offer and it needs eating...would rather have had a kitkat fruit.

I am a figment of someones imagination pollycazalet...

The difference between a kiwi and a teaspoon...well you can't stir your tea with a Kiwi.

Rushes back out (fully clothed) brandishing a stick of celery........

Chickpeas and tomatoes cooked with onion, butternut,m raisins, cinnamon, garam masala./ Just what I needed had got to v low point.

Hello to new people sorry am having to do thuings at speed and not taking everything in.
