Original post by the lovely FrannyandZooey

For anyone who wants to boost their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - If you don't normally eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 mins is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restictions on what you eat as long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving your energy levels and hopefully mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you are 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.

I should ring Pink

TooTicky · 31/01/2009 19:51

Pink, please phone. It may all be fine but you have to find out. The worry will do you (and us!) no good.

My blood pressure's fine though and that's the main thing with PE isn't it?

DH said 'you ok now?' and went out!!

FrannyandZooey · 31/01/2009 19:59

ring
ring
go on

stuffitllama · 31/01/2009 19:59

it's all that housework
once you've been checked and all is fine NO MORE

pinkspottywellies · 31/01/2009 20:00

If I ring they might be worried and make me go up there and then we'd have to get someone round to have dd and I'd miss my programme

I'm sure it's fine if it's gone. What if I start a thread and see if a midwife answers and says don't worry? Will you all calm down then?

stuffitllama · 31/01/2009 20:00

How do you know your blood pressure is fine? do you ahve a home monitor?

FrannyandZooey · 31/01/2009 20:01

get them to send a midwife to you?

BBBee · 31/01/2009 20:01

FUCK - PINK YOU HAVE TO RING NOW - YOU REALLY REALLY REALLY DO - IT COULD BE NOTHING BUT IF IT IS SOMETHIN THEY CAN DO SOMETHING NOW.

FUCK.

YOU.

HAVE.

TO.

RING.

FrannyandZooey · 31/01/2009 20:02

yes if you start the thread and a midwife says don't worry i will shut up
go on start it

BBBee · 31/01/2009 20:02

No - but they will know all the right questions to ask and they will know how to work out what it is.

if they say youhave to go in it is because you have to go in.

stuffitllama · 31/01/2009 20:02

you can watch it on iplayer

TooTicky · 31/01/2009 20:02

Pink, please phone and ask. If you say you can't go out they will send somebody.

BBBee · 31/01/2009 20:03

pink - how are you feeling now?

FrannyandZooey · 31/01/2009 20:04

pink i admit i am trying to be cunning
if you start a thread saying what you just told us THE WHOLE OF MN WILL COME ON AND SHOUT RING AT YOU
so you could just fast forward 10 mins and ring them anyway

FrannyandZooey · 31/01/2009 20:05

we will watch your programme for you and tell you what happened
you weren't watching anyway, you were chatting to us
