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

Happy Birthday LittleRach, I hope you've had a good 'un.

Well, the f&v total started off well this morning, and much like my day it got worse as it went on:

blueberries
banana
dried fruit
apple

Will be having comfort --food- a pizza with an obscene amount of cheese on later so my f&v total will be shite. Off to the pit I go

Lemur, I'm waiting for pizza to arrive.
It is the veggie one so v 10/10

The girls at work bought me some perfume whcih was so kind of them.

Pear
Veg soup (carrot, celery, swwt pot).
Raisisn

Ah ha, pizza is here

TigerFeet · 25/02/2009 18:47

Enjoy your pizzas even if they do have veg on

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 25/02/2009 19:09

My pizza is just cheese and pepperoni although I could take the piss and say that it's got tomatoes in the sauce

Baby Lemur has got impetigo of all things. He's only 5 months old ffs, and I've got no idea where he got it from. The cream doesn't seem to be working at all, so I think I'm going to have to get oral anti-biots which is upsetting me. I know impetigo is not the end of the world and all that, but I get really quite anxious about his health..... then I'm not feeling on top form and am awaiting some blood test results. Although tbh I don't think they will show anything. I think it's probably got something to do with not having a proper nights sleep for over 5 months. I have had five virus/cold type things in six months. And well, you know how hard it is to cope and keep things in perspective when you don't feel well. AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH

Jesus Franny, I bet you wished you never asked. I proper spilled my guts there but actually feel a bit better about it

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 25/02/2009 19:10

I'll save you a slice - if you're not a veggie that is

It's good that you have pizza it means the meds are still working.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 25/02/2009 19:11

Oh, and what perfume did you get LR ?
