Shouting guava guava guava shouting mega mega white bean - 10 / 10 thread

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

FrannyandZooey · 01/07/2009 20:09

that's jealousy turning to bile in your stomach pointy

i felt such a prize arsehole today
i took my graze box to the cafe where we all meet, thinking it would be nice to nibble on and all that
well when i got it out of course everyone said ooh what is it
and i realised i had probably done it to show off
and i am cringing

FrannyandZooey · 01/07/2009 20:16

Was that last Wed? Quelle coincidence. Don;t worry about it - we all do it occasionally

littlerach · 01/07/2009 20:18

Timmy TwiTch has v long claws so he has been running around the decking today, and i grew him some grass in a tray for him to eat

Salald leaves
carrot carpet
sweetocrn
coleslaw
tomatoes
cucumber
peas
more carrots
sweet potatoes
teeny yellow courgettet from my garden
grapes
cashew nuts

Bath does sound nice.
But cold baths feel wrong to me.

pointydog · 01/07/2009 20:19

nice sounding list, rach.

ahundredtimes · 01/07/2009 20:20

You definitely wanted to show off. The spoon, the little napkin, the picture of the grass. The chili cashews, the chocolate raisins.

Am sure it was fine. Am sure they weren't that impressed Fra Is all your social anxiety. They love you.

FrannyandZooey · 01/07/2009 20:24

i really really did want to show off
and how freaking sad
and of course they weren't that impressed! they all thought "look at this sad nobhead bringing her little FORK (it's a fork 100, i must point this out) to try to impress us"
but it will be fine because they are nice kind people

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 01/07/2009 20:25

HOWEVER
a nice kind friend gave me a tin of cherries today
a big tin, the biscuity kind
full of cherries from her garden
hooplah

OP posts:
littlerach · 01/07/2009 20:26

But Fran, did you get apples, cos they are v unshowy off I feel.

Whereas cherries/pineapple much more worthy.

Merci beaucoup Pointy

pointydog · 01/07/2009 20:26

franny, don't beat yourself up. It's human nature, we all do it sometimes, it's nothing

ahundredtimes · 01/07/2009 20:27

You didn't produce it with a fanfare though. You were gracious about it, and showed them the fork. And they thought 'oh, wow that looks cool' and that was that, they didn't know you were showing off.

I am often motivated by showing off myself. It does then induce toe curlingness, I know exactly how you feel.

However, I can tell that you do not need to curl your toes. They looked, they commented, you ate, it was cool. In fact in the scheme of things, it really doesn't even count as showing off.

FrannyandZooey · 01/07/2009 20:27

i got NO FRUIT because their machine had broken
100 will think "i told you so"

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 01/07/2009 20:28

no no i am sure they knew i was showing off
or are you trying to tell me that not everyone else is as obsessed with everything i do or say as i am?

OP posts:
pointydog · 01/07/2009 20:30

It matters a lot more to you than it does to anyone else just because you were the person who did it. If you see what I mean. If I do something stupid, I'm going to worry about it far more than anyone else. Etc

ahundredtimes · 01/07/2009 20:31

Yes, this is the sad, sad truth. I am interested, your dp sometimes, but mostly it's just me. That's all you've got.

FrannyandZooey · 01/07/2009 20:33

sorry if you have taken my wailings at face value btw
they were meant to be partly humorous
you are both very kind
i shall come straight here if i ever have a real crisis instead of a cringy fork related one

OP posts:
ahundredtimes · 01/07/2009 20:34

Well, I'm grinning too fgs. Who knows about Pointy. She is probably distracted by having to cram in TWO evening portions of fruit tbh.

see

pointydog · 01/07/2009 20:37

I was slightly concerned actaulyll. Couldn't you tell?
