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

Afternoon

Oooh, Molly, FB me too pease?

Tiger, how lovely to hear from you. get some sleep! And Pink.

How are you TooT? I habe emailed you.

We have hakf a shower now. And a radiator, In th ebathrrom. Hurrah!

And i tried ot talk to dd1 about periods n stuff today (cos I thought I should) and she was so not interested. So I guess I leave it until she is?

Avacaod
tomatoes
nectarine
raisins
banana

LR how old is DD1?

I think I was about 9 when we had "the talk" at school and that was early enough for me, but maybe girls talk about things earlier these days?!

DS has just told me a girl in year 3 at school has her tongue pierced. Can that be true?

dd1 is Y3! it was the talk of the playground when 1 girl got her ears pierced last year!

apple juice
innocent smoothie
smoothy type thing made of apple grapes melon and strawberries but probably not enough to constitute a portion of any
courgette
tomatoes

off to PIL for lunch tomorrow, my god she does my head in but it will be nice not to have to cook [total hypocrite emoticon]
hooray for postmen dd2 thinks all parcels are from the postman

swimming with a mooncup is actually fine but ever since i spent a long time in the bath with it in and then did an impression of a blushing niagara falls when i got out , i have been somewhat reluctant to experiment in public with it

enough said.

oh yes exercise - 1000000 hours walking round bloody shopping centre

Lol @ blushing Niagra!

I have sent a request, I am VW.

Hope you're not uploading millions of photos at the expense of resting though

This costume is really starting to chafe, I must take it off

My mooncup is still sitting on the wondow sill, looking at me.

Tiger, 4 oz is fab.
Looking forward to photos.

I ran for 21.5 minutes last night (without stopping)

Raisins, apple juice, salad.

you will be pleased to know that i did not emulate the red arrows as i steamed up and down the pool in an athletic fashion

the f&v is mostly taking liquid form today, have had lots of juice (different juices!) and did eat some peppers for lunch. will crack some more v in there for tea i expect.

i have made wine! with demijohns and everything!am proud

No FK, the sequins must stay!

Well done on the 4oz gain Tiger cub, that's impressive.

i have eaten much food today on the premise that the whole half hour of swimming i did earlier will have burnt it all off

2 x smoothie things
1 x apple juice
peppers
leek
peas
white chocolate (but it was green and blacks and so must count somehow as a portion, no?)

Also grapes
pear
raisins
banana
rissotto with asparaguss, broad beans, spinach, courgette and green beans.

She loved it.

Happy Birthday TooT

Happy birthday TooT! We haven't had a good old birthday knees up in here for ages!

Could you all please send vibestomy friend who might possibly be going into labour at 32 weeks?

How's your friend ABW? I hope they've managed to stop the contractions.

Happy Belated Birthday to yesterdays birthday girls

Awwww, glad your dd loved Rainbows LR.

What wine did you make Mayor? I remember my dad making beer, wine and ginger beer. It was all rank bless him, but he made it a personal challenge to drink every drop!

She'sokay thanksLemur. It was caused by a water infection. Didn' know that could happen.

Quiet in here.

UTI's can start off labour, that's one of the reasons why your wee is tested at MW appts.

Yesterday:

banana
blueberries
onion
leek
grapes
cauliflower

Oh crap, I thought I had a good f&v day.

Yawm, ds woke at 12, 4 and 5.30. I thought a long snuggly feed in our bed at 5.30 would get an extra hour out of him. It didn't.

I think the disturbed sleep is because of a developmental shift .......... he's started to walk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He done a few steps on Sunday. Then on Monday and yesterday he done it a few more times. Then this morning, as soon as he was able he was walking everywhere. He just needs to calm down a bit as he goes for it full pelt and ends up face planting
