Wake Pea Up Before you Goji - 10/10 thread

[TooTicky]

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.

Thank you for your thoughts. And the hug

I do apologise to them, and tell them he was in the wrong and shouldn't have said what he did.
If I say to him that he shouldn't speak to them that way, he says, "Right, let's see you sort it out then, since your methods are so much better." and he stands, hands sarcastically on hips, waiting.
And if the children don't cooperate instantly he starts going on about shouting being the only thing they understand.

Oh crap.

i have blanked it guad

well. it isn't terribly helpful to you but i would not stay in that situation if there was any other alternative at all

Franny

The faces were for the hat thing.

Thank you Mits

you knew i would say that though
you DO know, it's no good saying you dunno

Franny. I've just emailed you - can you have a look please.

Dunno Not ok. Hope you can deal with it (hugs)

Half a banana, bean and veg stew (3-4), raisins. Oh dear!

4 oz of ebm down the sink again DS is not a big fan of having a bottle.

Why are you expressing, Pink? Are you going back to work soon?

Hugh Fearnly wotsit is eating strawberries with peanut butter. Hmm.

Jeez, now it's strawberries and mushrooms and smoked strawberries. He's gone all Heston.

Oh, pink Pouring away EBM is like pouring away gold. Can he have it in a cup? Or one of those sippy things? DS would never take a bottle but would sometimes drink from another type of vessel.

I suppose strawberries and peanut butter is a bit like peanut butter and jelly. Sort of. But why ruin strawberries? I know people who have blueberry and peanut butter sandwiches.

Ew. Weird. But then I only like my peanut butter with marmite though I have been known to eat it on an oat cake with banana.

I thought strawberries & peanut butter sounded like quite a good combination

Having become a recent convert to nut butters in general

dunno, that doesn't sound good at all. It all sound svery aggressive and stressful for you and the children.

@ franny and The Hat. It must be quite tricky to take off a mad large floppy yellow hat while showing a genuinely sorry face

I hit ten once more, by the way

sultanas
nectarine
banana
mixed salad
carrots
banana
beetroot
tomatoes
olives
apple

huzzah

I like the sound of the hat.

I want to know what she said though. I think you should sit down quietly and try to remember.

well
i kind of snatched it off as if it had burnt me
looking at it now this wasn't the best move - if i had kept it on and smiled at her roguishly we could have pretended that complete strangers often put on each other's hats and mock them
i kept saying "sorry, i thought it was HER'S"
i honestly can't remember what she said
i think i gabbled at her
she was very nice about it

it was a damn nice hat
bonkers though

I think I need a yellow hat.

I bet you will end up being friends with the woman now.

Franny - why are goji berries good? They are like little shits.

at 'It must be quite tricky to take off a mad large floppy yellow hat while showing a genuinely sorry face' and again at 'I want to know what she said though. I think you should sit down quietly and try to remember'

Expressing cause then I sometimes don't have to be the only one Guad. Feel a bit overwhelmed sometimes. Also if I want to go out, he's a bit random with bedtimes at the minute (like 9.45 and 9pm this week ) So can't really plan anything. DD just took to it straight away so I had flexibility.

It doesn't matter. He doesn't need to have it. Would just be nice if he would I did try with a cup earlier when I'd just expressed it. He was similarly underwhelmed!

they're revolting aren't they
i think they're like soapy wood
i am proud to say i have never been taken in by them

i think hat woman was someone's SIL
from poland i think
lawks i am cringing at it

Goji berries taste a bit like perfume. I got them in my first graze box. My step-dad is starting radiotherapy for 8 weeks on Monday. I've decided to send him a graze box every friday to celebrate another week finished

what a lovely idea pink
i have banned goji berries from mine
they are the devil's pellets

Do you know, they are quite nie in those raw chocolate bars that are criminally expensive but supposedly good for you. Maybe because the rawness is so bad it makes the goji seem okay.

On their own though, bleuuurggh.

I see, Pink. I gave ds1 a bottle to make it easier too but dd would never take one, and not any kind of other milk ever in fact. She still won't drink it. I gave up with her because in trying to make it easier it was making it hard! When I felt like that I would try and remember that at least all the feeding meant I could sit down and relax but I know thta feeling of dependance. It can be overwhelming.

nice even
