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

Go Tiger can't be long now

ThePinkOne · 21/09/2009 20:31

I've been wondering what the unholy stench coming from fridge was all day. Turns out it was the chick peas!! Who knew chick peas would a) go off so quickly and b) smell so bad

Babieseverywhere · 21/09/2009 20:46

Tigerfeet was in the water pool as of 8pm...so I join you in hopeing that her baby arrives very soon

dogonpoints · 21/09/2009 20:53

squeeze hands, tiger

SuperBunny · 21/09/2009 22:18

If Tiger's baby doesn't arrive before midnight, it'll be born the same day as my DS.

Babieseverywhere · 21/09/2009 22:47

I really hope her baby is here before midnight. That said I will have no idea till I ring her inlaws again tomorrow.

But I am guessing a lot depends on when her waters broke, they have a 12 hour limit after water go ISTR.

Oh well off to bed whilst worrying.

Can't wait for cute newborn baby pictures (and cuddles )

SuperBunny · 21/09/2009 23:02
