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

Blimey, Pink has been eating 5 portions of leaves and Toot is eating liquidised stairs

You are right Pink, my f&v intake is shite and my exercise is non-existant.

I'm scared about my 2nd yr at uni

ABitWrong · 25/09/2009 07:38

Why, OB?
You are one of the big girls now. They won't flush your head down the bog no more.
We know you are well capable of the work.
Come back and tell us about it.

MayorNaze · 25/09/2009 11:42

flipping kids

we will meet At Some Point Toot and LR. really we will.

yesterday was pants on the f&v front

i doubt today will be better. i'm guessing coffee doesn't count?

right. off to chuck out all of dd1s crap tidy up and stuff. was going to go swimming but its no fun with a mooncup.

au revoir mon petite filous...

MayorNaze · 25/09/2009 11:45

OB - you crack me up. 2nd year will be pipsy squeaksy, to lapse into the lingo of Y3

{{{{{}}}}} to everyone else and little TF

ABitWrong · 25/09/2009 14:21

I swim with a mooncup. Well, I swim in half-hearted circles around dd2 who Cannot Be Left.

ThePinkOne · 25/09/2009 14:38

I kept meaning to ask about swimming with a mooncup. Is it supposed to fill up with water? Gross.

OB you'll be fine. TooT's right about the bog.

Dying to hear from Tiger again Hope they're getting on ok.

Blackberry porridge this morning. Think it'll
be the last of them for this year. Lentil soup, apple juice. Was planning salad and jacket tates for dinner. Don't think I've got much salad in though. So it'll be letttuce, tomato, sweetcorn, celery

ILikeToQuickstepItTangoIt · 25/09/2009 18:41

Osmosis - I don't really know you very well, but you always seem like the sort of person who is fearless. What's up?

Yes yes, we need news from Tiger. Pictures and talking about her feeding, and pooing and sleeping and all that stuff that totally occupies you when you have a newborn.

Saying that I held a newborn (4 days old) today. Oooooh she was lush

I haven't used a mooncup yet but I'm guessing as it creates a seal it won't fill up with water??

banana x2
blueberries
cucumber
grapes
orange
avocado
beans

TigerFeet · 25/09/2009 18:44

Guess what?

A man with a van turned up this morning with a big box of lovely things

Thank you all so much

You are all so generous and clever and thoughtful

dd1 especially delighted with her tiger feet

will take pics and post in a bit

vv tired, dd2 has had a restless day. Milk coming in I think. She is sleeping now, for the first time today! She doesn't like lying flat, she has been cuddled a lot today (no great chore I have to say ). She's feeding like a good'un, she will be a porker like her sister I think.

Lots of love and thanks again from the Tigers xx
