I started a new little project today – photographing all the food that I eat each day and then turning it into a collage. It certainly makes you accountable for what you choose to eat.
Do I really want to photograph that? No? Well I can only eat what I photograph, so no eating that!
How can I make this plate look really nice? Add some lettuce and tomatoes. Looks much better and healthier!
On reviewing the day’s foods, I realised that I need more vegetables during the day. This project will be great for me and hopefully another way of finally achieving my goals and becoming happier and content with my life.
It will also be an opportunity to sort out some more photography skills. Some of today’s shots were a bit blurry – I’m used to photography outdoors not indoors, so I looking forward to getting better at that. Turning my plates into works of art is also an interesting way of eating well and bringing more colour and visual appeal into my meals. This is fun! And it covers my creative activity for the week.
I’ve continued to work on my table, with some more weeding, hedging and cut up fruit and veg. It was also great today to feel well enough to get back to walking. There are a few things I haven’t done and need to do tomorrow – sanding and the cross trainer.
Being in the two-week wait (see pregnancy blog), I’m a bit nervous to go to Curves, just in case. Probably irrational, but there it is. I’m not taking any chances.
The activity I am most pleased with is the weeding and hedging. It is so great to begin getting on top of these tasks.
The activity I am least happy with is the fruit and veg. But I’m excited about my new food project and believe that will help a great deal!
Overall, this new project is beginning to give me a sense of getting on top of my life, of being the person that I want to be and feeling pride and a sense of achievement. I am grateful to be in a place in my life where these things are working for me.

Wonderful idea! It certainly holds one accountable if it's photographed, eh?
