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

I was drunk, but now I am drinking rooibosch. With sugar. It's all rock here.

TigerFeet · 13/09/2009 21:16

I must have a listen to R6. I usually listen to R5live [dull] or R1 [in denial about actual age]

FrayedKnot · 13/09/2009 21:20

Ooh I am listening to R6 online

Everyone put it on, we can rave together

Guadalupe · 13/09/2009 21:21

what is 5live? Isn't that sport?

Molly - clubbing top is electric blue with a weird back and what looks like some animal print on the front with a sparkly bit. It sounds vile. It probably is. Goes well with jeans though.

I might have to go to 90's night somewhere. Do they do them?

FrayedKnot · 13/09/2009 21:23

I was going to have a bath and an early night

Guadalupe · 13/09/2009 21:23

ROFL at cardboard box

DH keep walking past and rolling his eyes at me. It's been a month since I was on the laptop. I think I said I was going to sty away for good. Oops.

TigerFeet · 13/09/2009 21:25

lol FK [big fish little fish cardboard box]

5live is news & sport. I am an avid armchair sports fan.

and lol @ 90's night, they probably exist, I went to a lot of 80's nights in the 90's so we jus tneed to fast forward 10 years

Guadalupe · 13/09/2009 21:25

It is quite early, Fk. I reckon you can have a whistlestop rave and still be in bed by 10pm.

TigerFeet · 13/09/2009 21:27

Fucking hell I've just realised that it was still the 90's when I last went on a proper clubby sort of night out

Guadalupe · 13/09/2009 21:27

dh says there are 90's nights they were talking about doing a work one the other day. He never goes to work dos though thank god.

FrayedKnot · 13/09/2009 21:27

Actually I think I may have bath now and return for Guy Garvey's Top 20

Boco · 13/09/2009 21:29

Hooray,glad you're back Guad.
Love adam and joe on 6 too, and guy garvey. But can't make them work on computer atm for some annoying reason.

ABitWrong · 13/09/2009 21:32

God noMrsC will just give you big pissed hug xx

Guadalupe · 13/09/2009 21:35

Oh. My. God. They are playing Donna Summer I Feel Love. I can smell the sweat.

ABitWrong · 13/09/2009 21:36

Bloody hell thisiswhat I was thinking of!!

Guadalupe · 13/09/2009 21:36

Boco! I missed your bday. Sorry. I will make amends.

Toot- just joking. We won't have a scrap. I will start a fire instead.

ABitWrong · 13/09/2009 21:40

ooh fire yes,i like fire

i have already burnt by dodgy paperwork andmentalassessments though

srtill, can always find summat to burn

wish i couldjuggle fire,i am fucking useless,no useful skills

Guadalupe · 13/09/2009 21:46

I don't think juggling fire is that useful really though, in the grand scheme. I'd let that go and lie back and watch other people do it.

ABitWrong · 13/09/2009 21:48

Yebbut it looks cool. I can't do fuckall.

Guadalupe · 13/09/2009 21:56

yeah you can. You've just forgotten for a bit. Look at the handiwork on your own profile for a start!

I am going to watch something with dh. Only recently have a tv ariel too, it's like entering the new age.

Right, lovely to see you all. Good night.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 14/09/2009 08:32

Lovely to see you Moll and Guad.

Silent disco? Is it where you dance to no music????

What are you studying Guad? I keep thining about what I would like to do after I finished having babies and all that.

MayorNaze · 14/09/2009 09:52
