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

Sorry, that sounded overly demanding. I mean, in your own time, whenever you're ready.

Tiger

I feel like doing that Brownie clapping thing, "Well Done, Well Done, Well Done"

(Do they still do that? )

We must decorate the Village Hall and have buns and lemonade

SB, Happy Birthday to DS! Hope you had a lovely day.

Lol at the cow thing, I think it was a lovely thought

SequinEncrustedFrayedKnot · 22/09/2009 21:33

Oh lists

Baked Beans
Chips

And obviously the chips don;t count, even though they were my own handmade ones

And you all thought you were bad

ILikeToQuickstepItTangoIt · 23/09/2009 08:20

Toot, I lol at the cow thing, but I actually knew what you meant. Giving birth and new life is such a miracle

A new baby on the thread, how very exciting.

For ages I wondered what Davina cardio box was, I had visions of a box, then I just realised it is box as in punching
