early mornings

Trying to make soup…

Attempted to make soup using my new Christmas blender. I just boiled a packet of vegetables and some whole wheat pasta for 10 minutes and chucked it all into the blender with some vegetable stock. It looks and tastes like soup but it needs a bit more flavour. I need to add something else but not sure what…..?

A Healthy Start…..

This morning I ate my favourite natural yoghurt with banana and a topping from my Graze box…. cranberries and coconut and choc chips….yum….! Lately I have been feeling totally exhausted even though I haven’t been doing much at all. I think this is mainly because I have been eating junk food! Going to have some pasta tonight and have made vegetable soup for tomorrow. Quite pleased with this photo from my galaxy ace!

Dinner at the Dancing Dog……

Today is the first day of my project to take photos of all my food. Unfortunately I didn’t really get up early enough for breakfast so I’m starting with lunch! We went to my parents house for new years day lunch. My father is a keen cook and calls his “restaurant” the Dancing Dog!
We had turkey which was fantastic followed by christmas pudding. Not exactly a low calorie start to the year but really delicious!
Everyone thought I was very strange taking photos of the food but I guess they will get used to it!

End of the year……

At the end of the year it’s tempting to look back but I think it’s almost always best to look forward. This year has been fun and I have achieved a lot but 2012 will be better!

New years resolutions can be hard to actually carry out and mine tend to be short lived changes so I plan to have shorter targets lasting only a few weeks. Because I really want to take more photos I will start with taking photos of the food I eat during January. I’m hoping this project will also help me to make better food choices and so lose some weight.

Tomorrow is the start of the healthy eating so today….. Let them eat cake!

Cake is too good!

Cake….and ice cream…. best eaten with good friends….! It’s nearly new year… Then all cake eating will have to stop!

Fast Food…..

Unfortunately I am altogether too easily attracted to the bright colours and shiny lights of fast food restaurants….

However today was the last Burger King meal for a long time……Really…
I’m also planning on giving up Diet Coke for my new years resolution… Not sure how well that will go though!

Testing testing….

This is my first ever blog post and first time using WordPress

I am very interested in photography but have spent the last year focused on diet and exercise. Because of this I have seriously neglected my Flickr stream

I still need to lose at least a couple of stone so my plan for 2012 is to take photographs of the food I eat and post them to Flickr. Hopefully this change in focus will help both the diet and the photography but…. only time will tell!
