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.

Wow Molly- well done in Guardian

Hugs Toot for your poor DS must be awful without him just hearing

Mou hope you are feeling a bit less blue - lol at pinky purple

Pink - you need to sit down! Glad you aren't crying

Guad - don't worry about the builders. I still dream about ours, 2 years after they left not in a nice way!

Bugger all fruit and veg, I am getting too scared to show my face here!

can't keep up with all the talking, gotta go and bath DS, see you later!
kisses to all other veggers etc

SauerKraut · 30/01/2009 18:43

Hello to you, FairLady, and congrats on your mark! It was you, wasn't it? What are you studying?
Hello again to everyone else too.
Hope ds is doing fine, Toot.

FairLadyRantALot · 30/01/2009 18:43

We had real good luck with our roofer and the bloke that did the door....so, no reason for bad dreams...

FairLadyRantALot · 30/01/2009 18:44

SauerKraut, I am in my first year of an Occupational Therapy BSc degree...and loving it!

SauerKraut · 30/01/2009 18:46

Nice one! Do you get plenty of time to study? I have excellent memories of Occupational Therapists. They made me all kinds of cool gadgets.

FrannyandZooey · 30/01/2009 19:04

jesus god i read 300 posts of blether in this new bizarre big space at the side kind of mumsnet and i find out my core values song is

born to be wild?????

are you having a laugh

FrannyandZooey · 30/01/2009 19:06

and what is a starfruit???

do you know i feel like someone has come into my sitting room and moved all the furniture around
and then when i can't find anything they say "what is the matter with you? don't you like it?"

i am tired
and tetchy
and my back hurts
and my core value is GRUMPINESS

stuffitllama · 30/01/2009 19:09

starfruit I really should log out while ironing and STOP CHECKING

ahundredtimes · 30/01/2009 19:09

I had star fruit in Singapore once. You may know it as Carambola.

Not sure what to say about your Changing Rooms bad reveal moment. Except erm, you might get used to it?

Tatties · 30/01/2009 19:10

Bbbee your song is great!

Molly I have been thinking of songs for you, this popped into my head

If you don't like it I'll give you another

How about this for Franny... well maybe not core values but

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 30/01/2009 19:10

Well done on your B- fairlady

Why so grumpy and tetchy Franny ?

What's all this about skidmarks???

stuffitllama · 30/01/2009 19:11

fairlady, do polygise, of course it was daisy
although if i had builders who did a good job I would probably dream about them for years

ahundredtimes · 30/01/2009 19:12
SuperBunny · 30/01/2009 19:13

Youll have to read the Grotty MNers thread, Lemur. Apparently people get skiddies on their sheets

Sorry for tetchiness Franny.

I like Star fruit

ahundredtimes · 30/01/2009 19:13

Actually I don't want to infuriate you Franny. I'm all done with being infuriating.

FrannyandZooey · 30/01/2009 19:16

no i do not know it as carambola 100

what is all this space at either side? if i'd wanted a screen 3 inches narrower i would have bought one

pinkspottywellies · 30/01/2009 19:17

No-one's told stuffit to stop ironing

I am not doing too much. I am doing enough so that I'm not wading through crumbs/muck and dressing the family in dirty clothes!

Tatties · 30/01/2009 19:17

I haven't got any space either side

FrannyandZooey · 30/01/2009 19:17

what were all the songs? why don't people put on the links what they are? i never click on them because ds comes over immediately and starts asking for auntie mabel videos

FrannyandZooey · 30/01/2009 19:18

i've got loads of space
acres
well an inch and a half
it's annoying

FrannyandZooey · 30/01/2009 19:19

pink why were you making dp's packed lunches?
i am outraged of essex tonight

Tatties · 30/01/2009 19:19

Actually yours was probably highly inappropriate then Franny but I thought you would like it (T Rex)
