Eat fruit and vegetables - 10/10 thread BOOTCAMP, all welcome

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

A huge happy birthday to TooT's dd1 (and a hug for TooT)

I'm not eating much at all atm, appetite seems to have vanished and I've started to feel sick a lot again. I have raging backache and period pain. Not long now

Roast veg with tea
Much apple juice
Plums

Probably no more than 5, although I have had a lot of juice

Boco, it's a girl, dd2, due in a whole very long week.

Hi everyone, Have been looking out for a 10/10 thread.

Hope the job goes well SB. I am sort of looking for one, but it will be difficult as I am a jack of all trades and need to get something fulfilling.

F and V pretty basic and limitted. But I do try.
Exercise was rubbish over the summer holidays as being a lone parent has it's limitations, but I am generally happier overall.

Takecare TF....very excited for you.

ABW....((()))xxx
