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

Hope the blood tests and their results are helpful ABW.

F&V and exercise hopeless today. Tomorrow I shall get my head out of my arse and do better.

All baby thoughts gratefully recieved. Lets all visualise opening flowers shall we?

ABitWrong · 10/09/2009 22:02

hey,d'you want to read ds1's political campaign letter for the school council elections? Here it is... (TF,you may laugh yourself into labour...)

Dear Sycamore Class Chums,

As you very well know, this year I am running in the Sycamore Class School Council elections. Though as it is a classroom rule not to run in the classroom I shall steadily stroll.

My best aspects are that I am trustworthy and honest, also fun. And my absolute best aspect is that I am completely and utterly BONKERS!!!!!!! Which is important because... well, as an example, how would you like to wake up in the morning and think, "Urr not school again," you get ready for school, you get on the bus, boring as usual, and then when you get to school and you see a brand new roller coaster and say, "Woohoo, look what Torfi got us!"

And also, when you come to school and think, "Not boring maths again!" the teacher starts talking, you hardly listen because you're having a secret conversation, then you hear the words "throwing competition" as part of maths, and find out that good old Torfi has made grouping data a lot more fun.

So remember, don't vote for some boring old idiot, gloating about how he won it, that he did it with good politics and good looks, vote for me, a cool guy who is clean as a whistle,sharp as a thistle, best in all west Wiltshire, YEAH!!!!!!!

TigerFeet · 10/09/2009 22:03

I'd vote for him

OP posts:
ThePinkOne · 11/09/2009 22:57

I was on hols!!!!! But now I'm baaaaack

((((((((((ABW)))))))))) Thanks for all your fabby help lately lovely one.

TooT, can you put my new name as a mate so I can see your pics please. Boco your dd looks all gorgeous and too tiny for uniform!!

Rubbish week for F&V but probably better than most of the people sharing our holiday park! Think my DH was the only adult in the pool not to be adorned with tats!!

Had a wonderful time. Still knackered though. Thinking about doing some GF type routine with DS thelittleblighter.

TF - not long now Any twinges?! I was convinced I was going to be 2 weeks overdue and even saw some friends in the park 6 hours before DS was born and laughed that they needn't worry, I had weeks left yet!!

ABitWrong · 12/09/2009 03:00

Erm PinkIbelieve TooT has sorted it.

TigerFeet · 12/09/2009 07:13

EDD today. Not much in the way of action sadly. I suddenly feel better about it though, and resolve to be less angsty. Went 4 days over with dd.

ABW honey xx I wish you were close enough to come and twiddle my nipples

Glad you had fun Pink.

My f&v is sooooo poor atm. I'm going to spend the day out and about though so should get some walking points. Funny really, I had a dreadfully painful back up until about 25 weeks, I was issued with crutches and everything (great for swiping a trail through a crowd). Now I am only in pain if I walk to far without my back brace or I lie flat on my back. It's lovely to be mobile

It's Boco's birthday today, fruity kisses to her xx

ThePinkOne · 12/09/2009 07:58

Happy due date Tiger and Happy Birthday Boco!

Not to get your hopes up Tiger but I had nothing going on until late afternoon on my due date, then DS duly arrived
