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.

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

you didn't

quite clearly she was actually thick

I think if you eat enough onion, you can count it. I sometimes do.

Hello, fox. And Fairlady

have eaten the orange. It was slightly dry at the edges which was disappointing

Yuck

I list onion if I've eaten a lot like in a greek salad or soup. In fact I had onion and tomato soup today.

Onion
tomato
pineapple
pomegranate
raspberries
strawberries
apple
banana
melon
leaves
cucumber
chickpeas
orange juice
blueberries

I don't think my onion really counted, guada. I felt bad about teh onion

well it does say one medium onion in the link [clipboard]
if you've eaten one medium onion you can list it

that title is quite a mouthful pointy
i don't really understand all the different parts of it
usually i pass those ones on to TooT
TooT if your dinosaur is there please do us pointy's new title

I'd let it go, pointy. Embrace your onion.

Actually I think I have eaten too much fruit today. I feel quite fermented and like I have had a lot of sugar. I will be careful, Franny, in case I begin to feel drunk on myself.

Though the two lemon songe slices, meringue, Pimms and jaffa cake bar won't have helped.
Tomorrow I am going to have chickpeas and nothing else.

lol @ Guad winding up Franny.

Pointy, stop fretting. Count it as 1/2 a portion. This is where your decimals come in.

Strawberries
juice

i love chickpeas they are so good aren't they?

no-one looked at my reverend billy link [pout]

Yes, chickpeas are very good. I have some frozen ones and I got 2 tins of them yesterday.

I opened the link to rev billy but haven't watched the vid

Vid is funny Fran!

he exorcised your starbucks guad!

morning all
ds1 woke me up this morning singing "SHOUTING IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS, SHOUTING IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS"

SB, I'd love to give you the recipe for the falafel but sadly they are curtesy of Mr waitrose

I could list the ingredients....!

What exciting things can I do with chickpeas, Fran or SB? I have 3 tins.
And lots of dreid aduki beans too.

Supposed ot be hottest day so fay today. Which would make sense as it is the summeriest day really

I wonder f TooT is still in her tent?

Crikey it's hot this morning...I hate the heat.

Well I did miserably yesterday, apart from Sunday lunch.

I'm struggling a bit with my levels of hunger whilst BF'ing.
I seem to be starving all the time!
It's disconcerting as normally I don't eat much. I'm worried I won't lose my last bit of weight, in fact if anything I think I'm putting more on, grr!

Am I being a weirdo on this? Yesterday I ate Dh's choc chip cookie (a large one) because I found it in the cupboard
I don't even like them!!

Saw the vid Franny, very amusing.

Morning.
Night was interesting.
Dd2 fell asleep naked on the sofa before we went out and woke as I was pyjamaing her.
Read to ds2 and dd2 from ghost story book.
Ds1 paid a brief visit.
Dd1 joined us.
2.30: dd2 needed a wee, so out we went.
Dd1 woke up and WHINGED SOLIDLY FOR AN HOUR AND A QUARTER before going back to the house.
5.20: ds2 woke, decided he was cold, refused to believe that he might be warmer if he put his pyjama bottoms on and got back into his sleeping bag. He went back to the house.
I read peacefully until 7.30 when ds2 returned with Elvis.

There, wasn't that enthralling.

Sorky, you need to eat. I ate solidly through 4 pregnancies and extended breastfeedings and have lost everything I gained.

It is COLD today!!

It's a real dilemma TooT.
I won't don't anything daft like diet, I intend on Ex BF'ing, I just want to be thin too

hehe sounds like I want my cake and to eat it ;)

How old are your children TooT?

Cold!?!?!
where are you the North pole? It's gotta be 23 degrees out there already.

Think we'll go back to the allotment today, got tons of jobs still left to do which were on May's list.

do not don't.

right I'd better get a shift on..

I agree with TooT - you must eat if you are hungry.
Definitely.

It is raining here.

Sound slike an interupted night, TooT
Dds are v jealous of your night in a tenT.

Sorky, we are in Wilts.
Dcs are 12, 10, 7 and 3.

LR, you should try it...do you have a tent?

I have a plan, I'm only going to snack on fruit. Dh is going shopping today, he's not allowed to bring anything bad home. That way I can't eat it

right now I'm off, have a lovely day everyone.

That sounds like an excellent plan Sorky, except that if you are bf you will need more than fruit.
