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.

Oh look, I've just found Boco's inner core self-realization song: here

pinkspottywellies · 30/01/2009 17:56

I hoovered downstairs, hung washing out and cleaned the sink and kitchen floor. Then could hardly keep my eyes open to eat my (microwaved) tea! I did manage to not cry today though so I think the Spatone is working and I have also accepted that I must spend a lot of time Doing Nothing.

I did my 10 of exercise today too!! I walked very fast for 10 mins to try and get to my mw appointment on time (see previous post re car keys going to work with DH).

I also ate... oh no I didn't, er..... orange juice, 1 portion of leftover veg with dinner - carrots, peas and parsnips. Oh yes and raw carrot and tomato. 4 so far. Will have fruit tonight to get to at least 5.

I got a package today Thanks Franny! I have now started on raspberry leaf so stand by!

ahundredtimes · 30/01/2009 17:57

I really think that does reflect the inner her you know.

Guadalupe · 30/01/2009 18:03

Pink, you are doing too much. You are making me feel tired. Sit down, woman.

Boco · 30/01/2009 18:04

pinkspottywellies · 30/01/2009 18:06

ahundredtimes · 30/01/2009 18:06

ROFL LOLOL

Too bloody right, that's the Mary Poppins I want to be. God that's funny, I'm going to look again.

ahundredtimes · 30/01/2009 18:12

PSW - you are doing too much. You must try to stop and rest more. You need a box set. Have you seen Mad Men? That'd be good to watch.

mollyroger · 30/01/2009 18:23

lolling in empathy here - when ours goes off (which is 3 times a day) boys come running down stairs yelling ''breakfast/dinner is ready!''

it is very over sensitive and goes off if water boils on a pan or toaster pops up.

SuperBunny · 30/01/2009 18:24

Right, done laundry. Taken all bloody morning and have yet to put it away. Too cold to go skating so must either stay home and make snowman army or go to museum. I have not had a shower yet. Yuck.
