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

btw...[twirl]...you likey my valentine name...

[hump]...because no one noticed....pah

I noticed, I got carried away with franny's friend upsetting her and forgot.

It's very good, you randy slut.

Bowl of veg stew. There.

You spilt a bit, when you slammed it on the table.

Fuck. And I've only eaten half of it.

Half a portion then. I'm only here to make the randy slut feel better.

Aaahhh, so thats the tone of valentines name changes on the thread is it?....I likey.

Cycle 5 miles FK......Mmmmm about 20 mins, but steady more like 1/2 hr.

I think Franny needs to have a chat with her friend, because without talking about it, you really don't know what else is going on in his life, it might be something completely different. When I was first pg with dd1, one of my closest friends stopped spending any time with me or calling - when we'd seen each other all the time before that. I assumed that it was my pregnancy adn that she must have some issue with it, and built it up and took it very personally. When I finally tackled it, it turned out there were other things going on in her life that were making her very sad, and she'd not been dealing with it very well and had withdrawn from everyone. Not to say that this is necessarily the same, just that you have no way of knowing anything until you have an honest and open chat, then you'll know if it's savable or not.

I did baby cuddling, my goodness he's a beauty, a tiny foldable little creature, it made me wibble. Dp very nervous and said on the way home 'you do know there is NO WAY don't you?'.

I liked the sound of jigsaw dress and party.

He sounds totally scrummy Bobo

Aw, new babies. They are like little moles.
I felt broody the other day. Is probaby to do with stopping bf.

Sorry if my post was a but strong, franny. Boco is right, it might be something else entirely.

but again, I mean bit.

Boco I mean! I can't read or type today.

Have you completely stopped bf?

Boco....my dh tends to get all nervous too....lil babbees are gorgeous and so special, but feck...they grow into people and are bloody hard work...lol...

Thanks for and veggers.

Fairlady,you make me laugh

WE are now watching Kite Runner. But dh is on call and has had 3 call outs so far. And my eyes keep clsoing

Yes, the beginning is so tempting with new babies but it's all that following through that gets tiring.

Toot - yes, it appears that I have. There was one night that he asked and seemed a bit upset, and I didn't exactly say no, I sat by the bed and sang different songs, new action ones like hickory dickory and incy wincey spider instead of oranges and lemons and twinkle twickle like the last two years, and this seemed to please him and he he hasn't asked since.

He did point at me in the bath the other day and said rather loudly, 'MILKA' and I said yes, but it's all gone, and that was that.

I feel quite odd about it. Have felt quite PMT-like.

I foolishly looked on hysterectomy association website today and it said 50% of women who keep their ovaries still have the menopause within five years. 50%!! They never told me that.

It's really hard not to think of it when there are hormonal changes that may or may not be that. Hmm.

This thread may end up looking like the cast list from a porn film.. rofl.

I remember giving up BFing Guad, it was incredibly traumatic, esp, with DD because we are so close....she is mostly a mini-me. But sweeter!!

It can happen at such a variety of ages anyway though can't it. I can understand it being on your mind.

Our atempt at giving up bf was foiled by a pitifulbout of illness

oh, I just read back a bit and TigerFeet noticed my namechange all by herself...

Guad...oh the menopause is something I am worrying about...and it doesn't seem fair that you should have gone through all you have gone through and still have to worry about that
BTW, I felt very emotional when stopping bf with ms and ys....am still missing bf 3 years on...ridiculous really...

I thought it would be traumatic, I really did. But it only seems to have bothered me, he hasn't asked apart from that one night and even then the lure of incy wincy was acceptable.

I do feel quite relieved, but sad too. It feels very final. I'm quite sure I won't just shrivel up but part of me expects to.

I have done approx 10 years of bf and can't wait to stop [drained and chewed]

Yes, some people do get it early don't they, not usually at 30 though. I'm not going on that website again, it was too depressing. I don't suppose all the people that feel great bother posting on it so it's probably a bit one-sided.

ANYWAY, tis a good excuse to say I need posh creams and the like. I don't really feel like I am drying up, just very hormonal.

Ahem, listing.

Mango
grapes
avocado
lettuce
dates
#orange juice
sweet potato
broccoli
leeks
rhubarb
orange

Toot...I suppose there comes that point, eh....
I think if I had been able to feed ys or ms for aslong as I wanted too, rather than stopping because of circumstances, I might wouldn't be missing it now, iykwim...
but, I am not missing it enough to have another Baby ...oh no...

No Guad, lots of websites best avoided.
What can I do instead of hugging you? Roll mangoes at you? Aha, booja boojas...here they come... _oooo
