I want the plum I can't have, and it's driving me mad - 10/10 thread with new added BOOTCAMP

Well some of us have strayed from the path of righteousness. Some of us have been off MN for a while. Some of us have got a bit porky apparently So this is a 10/10 thread with added extras.... the usual 10/10 thread remains (I think it's still going?) for people who want to eat more fruit and veg but don't need / want to lose weight.

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. This is a kind of splinter 10/10 thread, the focus IS on weight loss / inch loss, as well as improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being, but the idea is to do this by eating healthily and getting more exercise, rather than anything drastic, cutting out food groups, etc. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

TheMangoWhoKnewTooMuch · 18/03/2010 20:26

Um OK right, list.

Mini weetabix
Mars Bar
Cold pizza
Apple
Veg curry & naan

That's it.

CoK your revival was well timed

pointydog · 18/03/2010 20:27

don't tell me you have never heard of 'get it up you'?

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 18/03/2010 20:29

Bootcamp? Did someone mention Bootcamp?

I have been a shit vegger. I need some direction, leadership and a ruddy good kick up the arse.

I am suffering with mid to late afternoon slump nearly everyday, and I think it's because of my shit lunches, and also because Baby Lemur is rather full on

List:

blueberries x2
apple
cucumber
pepper
mushrooms
tomaotes
sweetcorn

About 1 & 1/2 walk to toddler group

It's lovely to see the veggers here

Menopause is not knocking at my door, Avi, it is hanging by my window at night with fuck off great teeth.

Shame it is not handsome.

Maybe I just need to change to a summer duvet and neck a valium.

Helloo everyone!!

I am nearly fat again. Have put on half what I lost this time last year in the last SIX WEEKS.
I can't think wy, except I eat a lot of cake. Why, one day I believe I ate three slices of carrot cake with cinnamon cream. It just kept looking at me. Sadly it continues to look at me.

CheerfulYank · 18/03/2010 21:07

Ooh, can I join? I've gotten huge. But huge.

Last night my mom took a picture of me with DS and his new bike. My first thought was "who is that enormous woman and why is she wearing my shirt?"

UGH.

Guadalupe · 18/03/2010 21:15

Cheerful - I do that all the time, shop windows are the worst. I think, god that is an awful mirror. And that one. Oh my camera is terrible too. Oh no, I just ate all the pies.

Toot - You almost certainly do not need to lose weight! Hope you are doing okay though.

Hmm, I am preparing to list..

CoupleofKooks · 18/03/2010 21:19

TooT hello, hope you are ok, but this thread is NO WAY the right place for you

Hello toot hope things are ok.

I'm the same with reflective surfaces - they not my friend. It's all the extra chins i find depressing. I'm forever craning forward and tensing to try and magic them away.

Bee told me once she used to fake the odd apple. I was obviously disgusted.

Guad you made me want tomato snaps.

Guadalupe · 19/03/2010 07:24

Avi - I feel much more exposed in this new house and I know I would loathe a commune, unless everyone was away down the road, So a village really. I am more cave than commune I think.

Boco -Are you saying I am faking the apple? Are you? Hmmm? Because I tell you no I ate three, well not quite three whole ones as ds2 has taken to eating a bit of an apple and putting it back so I have been finishing his, so I could have put three but instead I rounded it down to two, akchooally.

The snaps weren't great tbh. I remember liking them. Again I was only eating them as ds2 discarded them. Wise boy.

Right - my list looks healthyish but its keeping all the healthy food and eating a bit less isn't it? I forgot I had another bit of that cake when my friend popped in, just so that her skinny arse didn't feel guilty that I wasn't having any. Of course. It is basically butter sugar, egg and nut and a sprinkling of polenta for the crunch. Wine is liquid cake, oh and then I had milk and a fruesli before bed as I was hungry again.

I think maybe I might have to accept that I can't have cake and wine everyday for a bit as I attempt to pare myself for the spring. Just as a treat.

Pineapple.
