Sunday, Monday, hap-pea days; Tuesday, Wednesday, hap-pea days; Thursday, Friday hap-pea days; Saturday, mango day, vegging all week with you - 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.

How on earth can you manage 10!!

I was lurking around watching your thread yesterday, and was motivated to give this health stuff a try..
I managed a handful of grapes.

And four seaside mini donuts to celebrate.
(I'm guessing the jam in the middle doesn't count.)

hi onelonelysock - I tend to find fruity breakfast helps
eg raspbs, melon, strawberries. is 3.

lunctime could be a veg soup (2) with a glass of fruit juice.(1)

snack could be dried fruit or crudites and ghummous. (1 or 2)
dinner could be easily have 2/3 veg...

I don't always manage it but I always manage more than 5 and that's good....

Hello Sock. What sort of sock are you? Stripey? Fluffy? Hand-knitted? Hemp fibre?
We need to know these things.

My ds1 replied to a freecycle notice yesterday....

"we would rarther like to receive the portable TV (we are a travelling family) and the freeview box (we do not have digital)

best regards"

Normally found down the back of sofa's, occasionally Holey, and always completely unfamiliar so I can never work out where I came from.

Sock

Tomatoes

Hurrah1

Oh hello Sock

Anybody there?

Banana

hi sock. Just start off aiming for 5 or 6. The whole point of aiming for 10 is that we never get to leave these threads.

orange juice
sultanans
2 bits of banana bread (hmm, 0.4 I suppose)
olives

Now I must resist tonight's sweet toffee popcorn. Damn those children

re the nakd bars. I recent;y compalined on here about the cost of them. Well, I went to sainsbury's the other week to buy more fruitus bars for another gay packed lunch for dd1, and the price of fruitus bars had lept to £2.20! Nearly the same as nakd! Maybe they were priced wrongly the first time, I don't know.

Right, TooT is back!!

Pointy, I will see what I can do but you mustn't expect anything wonderful!!

ssssshhhhhhhh
