I'm either not busy enough or I'm too self-obsessed, I'll leave it to you to decide which, as yesterday I had the idea that I would photograph everything I ate and drank. Here's the results:
8.00 breakfast
2x toast with orange and mango marmalade, plus homemade smoothie (banana, aloe Vera juice, blue berries, raspberries, papaya and wheat-grass powder)
10.30 - 12.40
1x lemongrass tea, 2x green tea
Butternut squash mixed dahl with brown and wild rice
plus supplements: 1x multivitamin, 1x St Johns Wort, 3x IFA capsules, 1x antioxidants, 1x Vitamin B complex, 1x echinichea
12.40 - 20:05
I.5 ltr of mineral water
A handful of crisps in a meeting. I think they were salt and vinegar, but not 100% sure.
2x jasmine tea
20.05 dinner
10 x pieces of nigiri sushi
1pt sparkling mineral water and blueberry cordial
20.10 - 11.50
2x jasmine tea
1x packet of maltesers, which nowadays are really just tesers, mores a pity.
And there you have it all that I ate and drank on Tuesday 10th March.
When I started this I thought that it was going to be a bit of web-based navel gazing, but actually, now that it's on the page, I see that it's more interesting than that.
I've never thought of myself as being much of a tea drinker - but obviously I am. I'm horrified at what a typical middle-class diet I have and how revealing it is of me in many ways. I'm also amazed at how much I actually consume in a single day, way more that I thought.
I think I'm going to extend this further and do it for a whole week, don't worry I'm not going to stick it up here, I wouldn't do it to you, but if you're really sad or have stalker tendencies you'll find a whole weeks result in my Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread group on flickr.
I'd also go as far as to recommend you give it a go, it's much more interesting much more personal insight into your life than at first you might think.
