It Ain't Nece-celery So - 10 / 10 thread - with new ADDED FOCUS

[FrannyandZooey]

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

Will list as I have been quite focussed today:

banana
cherry tomatoes
hoummous
carrot
pear
blackberries
spinach

star jumps with ds

Feeling a bit migrainey and yuck though

Molly I would like to see VM, I'll go with you next time

I was really looking forward to it tbh. Though a tiny bit of me is secretly relieved as the tickets were £20!
Have bought very cute but ethically unsound pea-green shirt from H&M (£10) to compensate

melon
apple
raisins
banana
bean salad - prob 3 portions?
hummus
mangetout and cucumber
apple
raisins
melon

went to gym but only to be measured - had to get back for bedtime and also before path home got flooded

Franny...I think 2.2Ibs equals 1 Kg....it's something like that....so, indeed, well done!

Apple juice too, I forgot to say that! So that makes 8 I think. I could get another portion in but can't really face it. I am going to sit down and drink peppermint tea

Thanks Avi! [excited]

What exactly are the (whispers) Vagina Mono's? I've heard about them but have no idea what it's about.

You'd really think that at my age I would be able to say (whispers) vagina without getting embarressed. I'm so repressed. My sister thinks it's hilarious and tries to get me to say it for her amusement

I got blocked ducts from the seams in my feeding bra's pushing against my boobs. It took me a few blocked ducts and lots of massaging of boobs to find out what was causing them. I haven't heard of the high sat fat thing.

Vagina is kinda a weird word though....isn't it....
and no idea what Vagina Mono's is...I think I have been leading a sheltered life

you should have seen ds's face when he saw the publicity posters...''oh mum, they should have posters up with words like Virgin...'' he trills. Imagine his face when I told him what the word really said

vaginamonologues

Though after reading that, it doesn't sound quite as riotously funny as I was led to believe...

doh, ds said ''shouldn't have words like that'', not should.

I drove through a flood today. Twice, And somebody clobbered the wing mirror and the glass is dangling sadly. Think they were too busy admiring the lakes fields to look where they were going

What are you all talking about????

We're talking about (whispers) vagina's. Or to be more precise, the (whispers) Vagina Mono's.

Can you pop the mirror back in? It's happened to me a few times and luckily it has clipped back in.

oh toot...what a nightmare....

Have a mental Image of huge vaginas on stage with soft lighting, speaking the monologues!

.....I probably shouldn't have shared that really but there you go......

Sorry about the car Toot.....

I am ironing really but have chronic IBS so am having little breaks....

So will try to check in here or FB before I go to bed.

No, I tried to pop it in, but there seemed to be too much space. Hopefully it won't be expensive to fix. I resourcefully secured it with string

I'm sorry you're not feeling good Atilla.

Oh, Tatties isn't feeling good either

Lemur, I also hate saying (vagina)

Done weights and yoga. Eaten slice of quiche and an oat, seed and sultana cookie though, on my return, which must cancel out any benefit whatsoever.

TooT, were you talking about your wing mirror, or something else...?

Sorry about the car TooT. What a pita.

Franny that's about half a stone - dd was 7lb 12 and that was 3.5k.

I'm not ironing tonight

Had a sleep again this afternoon and got a different friend coming tomorrow so I can sleep again. Hurrah and huzzah

Raisins
Mango
Apple juice
Satsuma
Peppers and onion in fajita mix.

Breakfast was good but lunch and dinner at friend's house not so good. But I didn't have to do anything

Everyone thinks this baby will be here soon. Haha! 3 weeks I think When I left toddlers today everyone was saying 'ooh you might have a baby next time we see you'.

to hear the school problems are rumbling on Lully. You do sound generally cheery though

Sorry for your migrainey feeling Tatties...hopefully you will slepp it off.

Pink...I am !! (ironing that is)

Glad you are getting some rest though .

I am about ready tocrash...

so goodnight..goodfolk...x

oh wahoo half a stone then
well good
my trousers keep falling down - well tbh my trousers are always falling down - i have no waist and low rise trousers - bad combination - but it's good to know they might be falling down for another reason
