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.

TooTicky · 01/02/2009 19:49

Oh, no, not squashed, I just couldn't judge when to turn corners. Or park.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 01/02/2009 19:50

I don't get either of the song references

Guadalupe · 01/02/2009 19:51

Why, there's so little to judge? So much worse to judge a big hulk imo.

BBBee · 01/02/2009 19:52

i understand driving angst.

TooTicky · 01/02/2009 19:54

I don't know, it just felt all wrong.
Now we have a wide one which was scary at first, but fine now.

FairLadyRantALot · 01/02/2009 19:54

Guad, wel done on driving and in snow, too....it took me a very very long time to really get confident driving...

Toot...salsify??? what is that than? [dim emoticon]

TooTicky · 01/02/2009 19:55

Bob Marley

FairLadyRantALot · 01/02/2009 19:56

BBBee · 01/02/2009 19:57

i had capers again on my hugely unpopular supper of fish pie.

i will think of a caper title - but it may take some time.

FairLadyRantALot · 01/02/2009 20:00

shudder at the thought of capers...yukyukyuk....shudder.....barf...
that are my thoughts on those made clear, I'd say...

Guadalupe · 01/02/2009 20:00

Puy lentil head, here come the caperlets.. ?

Guadalupe · 01/02/2009 20:06

No, have been trying variations on caper chameleon but it's not happening.

Best we stick with lychees or salsy

ahundredtimes · 01/02/2009 20:14

There was a key issue before wasn't there? Keys and tents and a hedge on holiday? I quite like your dh's key-throwing.

Supper was good. Everyone talked too much and I got cross with them.

ahundredtimes · 01/02/2009 20:15

I like the Lychee Lads for obvious reasons

FairLadyRantALot · 01/02/2009 20:15

lol 100

SauerKraut · 01/02/2009 20:20

Good evening.

banana
clementine
raisins
leek
carrot
lentils

Oh. Thought I did better than that.

[awe] at people who drive cars full stop, but especially in blizzards.

Speaking of which, I've got to go and shovel some (and then again at 5.30 tomorrow morning) so that'll be my exercise.

FrannyandZooey · 01/02/2009 20:20

for the obvious reason that it is funny and the best title?

SuperBunny · 01/02/2009 20:22

I like Lychee Lads but only because I don't know the Salsify song.

pinkspottywellies · 01/02/2009 20:23

Do I know you from before Polly? I feel like I do but wouldn't know where to start with who you might be. You just feel familiar!

I had a stupid day today where I obliterated the good work of all my resting and iron drinking by Doing Too Much and now I feel like shit and DH is a twat.

Anyway. I'm going in the bath now.

Good driving Guad.
What's salsify TooT?

FrannyandZooey · 01/02/2009 20:26

let's have the twattiest dp award then
mine was on good form today but there was the little matter of the cds remember

guad's threw keys
again
he is serial key thrower

pink what did yours do

SuperBunny · 01/02/2009 20:28

Driving in snow can be scary. Well done Guad. The rule about turning into a skid is all very well but once your car is spinning on the ice, it is too late to do anything and you have to just close your eyes and hope for the best. It happened to me the other day and I was only going 5mph and I wasn't even braking.

SuperBunny · 01/02/2009 20:29

Pink, I'm just a little bit cross that you did too much today. Why are all the DPs being twats?
