Burning calabrese I think I'm burning calabrese I really think so - 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.

Poor Dd, TooT.
I htink Fran's first answer was v good.

Did you buy any plants?

Glad you got the tent up

Oh no, I don't mean ignore it completely - certainly deal with it, have strong words and explain why. And tell ALL of them why it is unacceptable.

But if he sounds like he is doing it for attention and to get a rise out of DD and, ime with 10 yr olds, they tire quickly if they don't get a big response.

He gets a most rewarding reaction, which is why he does it. But now she has punched him in the mouth. Not so rewarding.
Would anybody like to borrow some children?

no thanks TooT I've got enough.
Question: does sex count as the exercise for the day?

I don't blame her, TooT. Not that punching someone is the right thing to do but perhaps he'll stop now?

Now I've sold my Ergo I nearly cried as I handed it over. DS will be devastated. He still talks about when I used to carry him in it.

Have you met many MN'ers?

today was the first time I've met any in RL and they were lovely.
It was a bit weird though seeing people for the first time who know an awful lot about you iyswim.

Strangely enough it felt as if I'd known them ages, which I suppose I have if I think about it

I think sex should count

It si odd, isn't it Sorky?
You knwo things about them too
But nice as well.

Yep, think sex counts.

Oh yes LR, we know things about them.

Peanut butter with chocolate chips.

I didn't have a sandwich because it would be fattening

I have just eaten two bowls of cornflakes on the trot.

All this breakfast like a king bollocks doesn't work for me. I ate loads this morning and I have not stopped since.

Peanut butter with chocolate chips??!! Goodness.

How do you breakfast like a king's bollocks?

peanut butter smells eeeeeeeevil
If Dh wants it I make him eat in another room

I used to sell Fenti mans ginger beer. I think Avi's right - about 1/2 a %. And I think if you're very sensitive that might well have gone to your head.

Went to chinese tonight and had quite a respectable amount of veg considering - broccoli and mushrooms, sweetcorn in my soup, beansprouts, peppers. Probably 2 portions. I did have about 8 plates of food though I was eating loooong after everyone else had finished but I was really hungry - not just 'oh it's all you can eat so I'll have more!'

Going to my mum's tomorrow so might be a bit scare for the week.

TooT

Mmmm, chinese

it was definitely alcoholic [stubborn]

banana
melon
raisins
pineapple
corn
peas
greens

oh dear
that was it
v poor

i did do the gym though

Of course it was alcoholic - anything with fermented yeast and sugar is! But the amount of alcohol s negligible.

it wasn't [grumpy]

I am hypersensitive to tea...actual tea...a proper teabag waved briefly through hot water gives me a headache. It didn't used to.

I reckon you'd caught the sun.

i wasn't in the sun [tetchy]

You would have to have good gloves to do that.

better have a new title soon
pointy are you going to get 10 this week or not? you know when you got 9 - why didn't you just eat one more????

Ignore her, Pointy. She's got sunstroke.
