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

[SuperBunny]

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

No TooT, didn't get it.
I didn't get your ones last week either, did I?
Blimmin technology
FB chat doesn't work either
Or the work laptop.

maybe I am jinxed.

LR,we willhave to meet up and stick two fingers up to technology.
Or four...two each.
Or four each? [extravagant]

I doubt I saidowt important anyway.

TF is having an early night, I think it's her body's way of getting a rest before the baby comes tomorrow

banana
blueberries
apple
humous
carrots
cucumber
tomatoes
kidney beans
mushrooms
onion
apple
blackberries

Probably about 10 portions in all.

I totally agree Lemur. THAT BABY IS COMING!!! twas the marrow / trampoline. And to think she was induced by a vegetable. How pleasing for the thread in a kinda gross way.

he he

excited for you, tiger

still here [harrumph]

off to MW

Awww..TF, I have a feeling in my bones today,

Go Tiger!! Go Tiger!!

surely waving pom-pomegranates would be more appropriate? Arf.

sweep booked for Friday

Right, am off to eat pineapple.

Have you had a sweep before Tiger?

How was the pineapple?

Hi lemur.

I know nothing of sweeps but hope either you don't need it or it all goes OK, Tiger.

I haven't had a sweep before Lemur. I went into labour spontaneously with dd at T+3 and she was born the following morning. As of 5.20am today, this pregnancy is now longer than my first. That's not supposed to happen, is it

I'm sure it will be fine.

The pineapple was lovely, they're selling them for £1 in Asda atm and I'm getting through one every other day. I'm not convinced that it's doing anything for me, but there are worse things to do whilst waiting

whole box of strawbs
red onion / red cabbage
carrot / white cabbage

probably 4ish.

And did I mention the marrow???? Yes, that beast will be my fate tonight. A 'friend' who owes us money is ignoring calls / facebook pleas so I have no chioce but to man up and eat the marrow.

Good luck with the sweep TF, I imagine it's much the same as when they give you a VE when you go in to do the actual birth bit, or however it is that babies come outta there

Boom boom boom, let me hear you say way-oh. Sorry, been in my head for weeks now and I think everyone else should share my pain.

Goodness I turn my back for a minute and look what you are all up to with your marrows

I have two, I think I told you. Still waiting for me to DO SOMETHING WITH.

Still don;t have a clue.

hello lovely veg folk
i was called to a bark sucking thread and that was very nice
then i searched to see if anyone else had been looking for me and BOCO! you were very kind about me on a thread where a loon was saying people like me were responsible for the whole moldies type affair because i knew who fabio was and wouldnt say
and you said oooh no no i am sure she wouldn't do that
said loon then quoted me and indeed i was crowing about it and no mistake! LOL
but it was all very odd
it was years ago and she searched and quoted and everything
i think MNs a bit mad when you;ve been away isn't it?

Hello Fran
I have just been reading the wnaky baskets thread as I was recommending them to my friend.

I had 2 sweeps with dd2 and was rather desparate for them to work as wanted to have her in the hospital here and not have to drag all the way to Bath. They were ok. Like a smear.

Salad leaves
carrot
cucumber
grapes
