There was something in the pear that night, the starfruit were bright, Fernando - 10 / 10 thread

[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

my god you are all crazy fools i tell yer

very large snort at fra's large bogey fairy

I wonder if Pink is up right now somewhere far away in the middle of the night having a snuzzle and a nuzzle. Those early quiet tender moments in the dark, I remember them so well, they are so beautiful.

Pink I hope you have a most wonderful first week. Gawd bless the little sausage.

Strawberry pancakes hurrah! Am giving up going to bed late for lent.

Also ate more beans and peas last night. Also dh cleaned up the car crash of a kitchen so I am replete.

Gosh, I went to work and this thread went a bit crazy.

No F&V to report. At all. Unless you count tomato puree? Oh, and olives. So ONE

I am hanging out the bunting for Pink

bunn that's not like you, but you do have an awful lot in the bank

and btw HAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA at the idea I look like that

i mean ..yes I look like a llama
no I don't look like the other thing
yes I would like to be Audrey Hepburn

can you tell I'm cleaning out my fridge and need frequent breaks?

Nice tassles. I heart Audrey.

Nice fairies! You are all barking funny. I wish I looked like the tiger fairy but I fear that this one is somewhat closer to the truth.

How many pancakes do I need to eat to get a portion of lemon do we think? I am quite liberal with m'Jif lemon.

Yesterday's list:
melon/pineapple/mango (2)
carrot
cabbage
more cabbage & onion in colcannon (1 at a push)
onion & mushroom in casserole (1)

1. I am pleased. I did brisk walking too but only for 10 mins.

I am feeling better but only thanks to the meds. The new ones stop the nausea but if I forget to take one I soon know about it... I'm so happy I can eat (sort of) properly again. I'm crap though until mid afternoon but am managing to get some f&v in after that point. DH is feeling fruity after his health scare last week so is Making An Effort Too. He has been doing the cooking which helps enormously, I'm still struggling with cooking smells.

Hope you got some sleep Pink. Now that we can't annoy you about things emerging from your fanjo we are going to be irritating until we see PHOTOS

Ds2 told me it was pancake day at the weekend. I forgot about the Tuesday bit. Daresay I will have to do it again today.
Pain to do though with 4 gannetty children and only one frying pan, one feels constantly behind.

Oh helo Tiger...you realise we have many months to talk about things coming out of yours....

Morning all.....

Is it today that Boco needs are good thoughts and best wishes...?

If so, will be thinking of you and sending strong, positive vibes and healing ((())), all the best Boco.

Still well impressed with rowing machine, and the DC's are on it a lot so, even better,

Does any one find that when they cut something out of their diet, they immediately crave it? Have cut out refined sugars, and just want sweet crap all the time, even though most of it I don't even really like.

It is my day for a mini hike today and I really enjoy them, you can see the spring changes at the moment and the air feels different..

Have a good day to all.... xx

A very good morning to you all.
I'd just like to add my congratulations to Pink and very best wishes to Boco for today. I shall sit on my hanky.
