There's nothing swede about me - 10/10

[BBBee]

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

oh and franny, I get wobbly at around 3pm...I have discovered i need to eat very regularly or I get jittery and grumpy. I actually stutter sometimes when I am really hungry!

Can you tell I've missed my computer?

DS2 in the playnest!

I made a very tasty lasagne tonight.

tomatoes
cucumber
lettuce
carrots
onions
blueberries
grapes
cherries
blackcurrants
juic e

ten, but really more like 8 as the fruit was only nearly whole portions.

LOADS of walking, because it's Wednesday so i go backwards and forward a gazillion times. Well five.

I get those wobbles too!
Horlicks.
Magic stuff.

Lovely pictures, ds2 is at the best baby stage isn't he!

oh I never thought of Horlicks... i usually find a quick stop at the bakery on the way home sorts it nicely...

I went to the nurse (at the doctor's surgery) today cause I thought my blood pressure might be low or something cause I can't do anything without getting out of breath and pathetic. She said I'm fine just tired and I have to not do stuff So I phoned my friend and took dd round there and came home and slept.

My friend said at least I know nothing's wrong and that was good but I'd rather something was wrong and I could get a prescription and not be so lame and useless. I said that she never rang me in tears when she was pg and looking after a toddler and she reminded me that hers slept for 2-3 hours a day so so did she!

I shouted at dd as well and now I'm crying

Anyway. I'm going to bed when I've played my goes at Scrabble.

Oh and I've eaten crap. But I put loads of veg in my spag bol.

Franny, just seen the pictures - I want to eat him!

yay fk! he loves it, but i must admit it deflates all the time
i think it is bust, sorry
i go out of room and come back and he is lying looking confused, in little pool of flat plastic

pink
SPATONE
i command you
my iron was not low enough for midwife to care but i felt DREADFUL
spatone is your friend

oh pink love, the last bit is wretched, isn't it? Have a hug/donut/pat-on-the-back/sticker proclaiming ''I did good baby-carrying today'' (delete as appropriate)

can we all just look at ds2 eating a pepper and looking vaguely worried
thank you
[ego]

Well sorry about that load of crap!!! Will give it a try Fran

DS2 is as usual looking scrummy I always feel like I know him really well when I see your pics He looks so much like DS1 and you and DP, I think.

well, just like dp really
not much of me in there

I don't think I get any stickers for today molly but thanks for the hug and the donut is it custard? Except maybe a "I finally asked for help" sticker.

but honestly DO get spatone
i thought i was never going to make it to 40 weeks
it's great stuff

Oh Pink. This is the WORST stage. And also I remember being so bloody tired and feeling so awful and all the time I thought 'Oh my god, how will I cope when the baby is here if I'm being so crap now?'

And the truth is - it's easier when they are out than in. So don't worry about that.

Do something spoiling. Allow yourself to be tired, don't fight it. Give in!

Fra - delicious. I LOVE the one of them sitting side by side, I love their expressions. They look very clever and very nice don't they? There's this sort of alertness and wryness about their expressions. Is a winning mix.

lol @ Mein Kampf

My sorry saga update has a happy ending! I asked, lightly, how the story had gone today. He said 'I changed it, it's better now actually. They aren't going to mate. It's going to be about how their owners want them to be friends, but they can't can they? How can a cat and dog be friends? That's what my story is about.' He said it was better and he was pleased with himself. So. Okay. Mental note ds1 has taken: never show writers your work and expect them to say 'oh lovely, super' remember they will say 'hmm, do you think this needs work?'

Goober...mmmmmm welcome! we are very pleased to have you on the thread.

Pear.
Celery,
tomatoes x 2,
apple,
green beans,
onions,
juice

A very hard run...

so, therapy this morning...yell at each other this evening...that was consructive and useful then wasn't it.

One day I fear I will just keep running.

I think I am becoming slightly schizophrenic with the 'happy to be left to my own devices, happy with the world, just basically happy little me. With my silly little dreams and trying to stick everything together' me.

And the 'totally had it, why does life have to be so complicated, could somebody whisk me away before I crack up' me

Pink. I wish I could come and do EVERYTHING for you and make you cups of tea and do your ironing and entertain your DD, but big big hugs. You will be fine and are brilliant.

SB, and so are you. I really admire how much you do for your little man and I think you should give yourself a pat on the back. He does need to learn little lessons about thinking about how other people feel, and franny is right, at least you found a way not to lose it.

Franny your boys are fabulous, no wonder you are proud.

Fairlady...I hope you feel better soon.

Hello to all others, I am on a tea break, so must get back to work.

S'funny, cos I love life, really, really love it. Just don't seem to fit in with the one I have got.

oh 100....what a difficult situation...I mean I am in awe he has written a story...but the story does seem a bit,erm, odd...so, can totally see what you are saying...
what were they meant to be writing about?

Wow goober, you are doing well with your f&v

not mentioning madness as scared of being send to the pit

((((((((TWF))))))))

Well he is eleven - not sure we need all that much awe. It's just a story for 6 y-olds. They are going to an infant story to read it out. If they weren't doing that, I might have managed to bite my tongue re the mutant mating. Maybe.

Pink - did you see what I said. It was good. It wasn't constructive criticism at all.

DH is being a cnut about everything and making me feel wretched. I can't even be bothered with my usual self absorbed gibberish.

Night all.

Franny, where are your photos? You don't seem to have a profile

((((pink)))) it's hard being pg and looking after a toddler....be kind to yourself...and I agree with Franny....spatone is brilliant stuff!!!!

((((Tiny)))not sure what to say, tbh
