Shouting guava guava guava shouting mega mega white bean - 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.

Oh Moll! Thank you.

I do mean it about being honest though. It's a fact of life and much better when people are, and then everyone can plan what's the best thing to do. Honestly.

I have new found respect for parents of only children this week. Jeez. I was looking forward to it just being me and dd too. Relations are strained. There's been chatting, a lot of chatting, bowl throwing and catching , baking, more chatting. It's exhaustingly intense. Is that bad to say? It might be.

ball throwing fgs

right, off to do some work now.

LOL I was trying to work out if the bowl throwing would have been in anger or just an extreme co-ordination type test. Am glad it was a ball.

I did face painting at the summer fair yesterday, dd1 was a Siberian Tiger and I CANNOT get the black face paint from the very edges of her eyes, ,which also seem to have reacted a bit and gone all puffy, so she looks like she's got black eyeliner. She went to school looking like a tiny Marilyn Manson this morning.

am off to cancel graze.I love having it thru the door but I cannot justify price for@ Bloody grapes.
toasted seeds again.
and some dried apple and cranberry.

Pah. I have eaten almost a whole pineapple

Hello to you all. Might I just visit for a minute to tell TooT that I've deregistered from Facebook? I shall leave a token list-

apricots (in jam, sadly, but lashings of it)

I thought you might think I'd deleted you. Have you got my e-mail address? I'd like to know how you're doing. It was getting a bit overwhelming, what with normally (necessarily)separate areas of my life crossing paths.

How many peas do you need for one portion?

tablespoon full, rhubs (IIRC)

off to seaside for t'weekend, so happy vegging, Fruiters. or happy fruiting, Veggers.

SAUERKRAUT!!!!!Yes, I saw that you had deregistered and the Swiss phone book is too confusing to work with. Do you have my email? I don't have yours.

Soooo, 10 tablespoons full of peas and I'm uber healthy!

OH ahundred, it's nice when people acknoweldge that having an only child isn't always easy. I know that getting 3 children out of the door and hearding them here there and everywhere isn't easy either but lots of people assume that having 1 child is much easier because, well, there's only 1 of them. I do accept that it is simpler in many other respects but there is a rather continual demand for conversation and interaction.

Rhubarb, I think you need 3 tbsp if peas. So, 30 and you're sorted for the day.

herding them fgs

My boxes are getting picked up today, eek.

SK, yes I did. Was desperately trying to remember if you had mentioned dh's name...

I have lost my shark

Toot, you have a habit of losing vegetables not animals. What happened to the shark?

Dunno. Just realised it wasn't there any more.

And actually, cucumbers and tomatoes are fruits.

god i think one child is hard
mind you two is no walk in the park

coo it's hot
i am full of coleslaw
coo

I seem to have pulled a muscle doing EXERCISE. I did lots of swimming today, not sure what i've done to my arm though, but it was during enthusiastic back stroke.

The thing is, having children is hard, isn't it? Having different numbers of them is hard in different ways.

Ouch Boco, exercise is bad news.
