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

Stuffit, have an ickle bony flatchested squeeze as well

I have just been dealing with hamster poo.
And also today looked after toddler, who did poo.

pointydog · 09/04/2009 19:40

you have a bath you don't use, llama? do you live on a farm perhaps?

I need to EAT LESS. But I'm on holiday and I have no will power. I should submit to fruitism, fran, you're right

TooTicky · 09/04/2009 19:40

Oh Franny, that is v v v highly recommended by delightful toyshop in Bath. They know their stuff.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 09/04/2009 19:41

Lots of cats poo in the bath and in sinks. Apparantly the lure is the smell of the drains.

There are worse places for a cat to crap in, like your slipper.

at flesh tunnels. Do you know if they heal? huh huh?

pointydog · 09/04/2009 19:41

those eggs look quite fun. I was half expecting them to be joyless but have been proved wrong

TooTicky · 09/04/2009 19:43

we have a bath we don't use

pointydog · 09/04/2009 19:43

I have a very clean cat, thank goodness.

What's a flesh tunnel? I thought you were all talking about bosoms and the space between them or something. I cannot keep up. I am like an old cat.

littlerach · 09/04/2009 19:43

Flesh tunnels?
I have always wondered bout them too.

How mortifying to have to poo inroad.
A friend of a friend who has travelled through asia a fair bit enraptured dds with tales of tigers attaceking an elephant that she was riding once. They were hanging off every word and dd1 told all of her class when we got home. I have no idea of it was true

We have been to the party, was lovely. Though she was qute mad to have 22 children in her house

My drs appt is now tuesday

Mitsubishi, have you had your results?

So
much
crap
food

pointydog · 09/04/2009 19:43

do you live on a farm, ticky? Or do you have a diy problem?

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:44

doesn't sound terrible at all, it will be much silly fun

thanks Toot sorry about your poo experiences .. how were your toddler skills, did you remember not to give it gin

pointy i advise buying bags of organic carrots, they up your intake amazingly, as you nibble without having to prepare, and they make you feel so healthy, and they fill you up so you don't think about cake much

TooTicky · 09/04/2009 19:45

And old cat yet a pointy dog? You are an enigma. Are you incontinent?

LR, hugs for Tuesday. Here if you want to talk or wobble or anything.

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:45

we have three baths we don't use

do NOT be envious

yes, i live in a farmhouse but it's not a farm any more, just a big ole house where the plumbing is crap

pointydog · 09/04/2009 19:45

ok, carrots. yum

TooTicky · 09/04/2009 19:47

We have an empty oil tank Pointy.

Stuffit, I look after her quite a lot, she belongs to an old school friend.
It is odd...one forgets how much they don't do. Or can't do. And the mindless, endless emptying or any receptacle...

FrannyandZooey · 09/04/2009 19:47

lemur here is more than you ever wanted to know about flesh tunnels

i was trying to be amusingly grumpy about the egg game
it does look really fun
the instructions are written in that marvellous slightly rabid badly translated german you get in haba games
i will quote later if i can get up from sofa to get it

lr great story, I bet it was true

all the best for Tuesday xx

Toot why don't you use your bath?

HotCrossGoober · 09/04/2009 19:48

Hello, fruitloops!
Banana,
2 portions purple sprouting broccoli,
2 portions carrots
and not a lot else.

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:50

wouldn't they heal if you scraped out the inside to make a new wound

yeah but no but ..pointy the thing is you hardly notice the carrots, same with dried apricots, you barely get time to feel bored by it and you've eaten it

pointydog · 09/04/2009 19:51

don't dried apricots have a lot of sugar/calories?

pointydog · 09/04/2009 19:51

(although obv I accept that would still be better than a gregg's sausage roll and cookie I had for lunch today)

pointydog · 09/04/2009 19:52

(I did refuse some of dh's oasis drink because I hate that sugary stuff . I am so rubbish)

TooTicky · 09/04/2009 19:53

apricots have iron

greggs sausage rolls are slurry and floor scrapings

FrannyandZooey · 09/04/2009 19:53

we aren't trying to avoid calories though pointy
well some of us are and some of us aren't - but that's irrelevant

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 09/04/2009 19:54

right get ready for a really mediocre list

apple
banana
melon
raisins
coleslaw
tomatoes
corn (on a pizza )
beetroot
