A Quango, a Quango, it made me eat the mango - 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

huhu...not with it, sorry

Hmm, could I carry off that last one of Franny's?

Quite like Pink's last one too. But with extra at the front. Hmm.

lots of love pink - i hope they were supportive. xx

Sorry to hear about DS's hearing loss Pink. As it will be something he grows up with, hopefully it won't mean anything to him because to him it is normal - iyswim.

I have finished it. Blimey.

new thread here

Pink - sorry about the hearing thing. You don't really want him to be able to join the navy, though. Do you?

Can I ask a portion-related question? God knows why I'm bothering, I'm barely managing 5 a day at the moment, but I actually clicked on the link at the bottom of the page of the portion sizes link on franny's op. It's weird and has confused me. Why would 7 cherry tomatoes be a portion, but 14 button mushrooms? Does that not seem like a lot?

And what does '2 inch slice of mango' mean? 2 inches thick? 2 inches long? How do you all count your mango portions? 'Tis mango season, finally, I want to be able to count them properly. Even if they are one of 3 portions in a day...

Pink......Oh I am sorry. Used to live near a centre for the hearing inpaired and to be honest I have never seen such bright, funny inspirational children and they did everything, I started to learn sign language, as I also went to a university that had a lot of people with hearing imparements of some kind.

It is of course something to come to terms with but with the love and support of a fabulous Mummy like yourself, the world will be his oyster.

(((((((((())))))))))

Bah....I am a jellified lump without Redbull. A grumpy, jellified, sloth-like, pre-menstral, non-shouty lump....grump..grump..grump.

WEll we survived dd1's party, tough it was tough at one point
They all loved the treasure hunt.
And ate loads.

Pink, I ma sorry to hear about ds.
A good friend of mine has a son who is almost 2 and he is deaf in both ears. He is talking a bit now, and seems ot hear quite a bit (has hearing aids). He starts at preschool next month.
And dd2 goes ot school with a boy who has v limited hearing in both ears. He manages v v well.
But you are probably fed up with tales of hearing loss

All I've had is a banana today and cereal.
Will make up for it later.

BTW, I have becaome addicted to Kings of Leon

And Elbow.

Anyone else?

Elbow.....BRILLIANT. Swan song has to be One day like this a year. Always cheers me up.

LR... Hi!!!

Yes A Toot hair update is essential.

Mushrooms,
Tomatoes,
Being lightly sauteed as I type, smells deeeelicious.

Oh and MangoLassi... how rude.....

hello.

Portions....I'm not sure. I think it reflects their fibre content or something. Mushrooms not very dense? Mangos.....dunno. Just eat a whole one and be on the safe side!!

franny got bored and started a new thread chaps!

By the way, adore Kings of Leon. But I prefer their early stuff [snob]

aw molly you told them
i was waiting to see who obviously never read the thread
