Health knowledge made personal

What I do I (try to) take photographs of each item of food I eat and each item I drink for an entire day (doesn't have to be Wednesday, Wednesday is just the day we share). (Taking photos of all of the food I consume is no easy task...I applaud those who do this on a regular basis.) Then I try to evaluate how well I ate or what areas could use some improvements. Why would you care what I ate? I'm not vain enough to think that everyone will care, however this can give you some ideas for food for yourself as well as a way to space meals out. There is a thought process out there that those who are "skinny" eat very little food or restrict calories or fat or sweets. I would like for people to see that this does not have to be the case! I believe a large part of the reason I am the small size that I am is that I allow myself indulgences AND I make sure to listen to my body when I am hungry. Skipping meals is not for me. (For more on my eating philosophy, see About Me - Semi-Healthy Life.) Basically, I am at a healthy weight and this is how I eat!

Thinking about the heaps of fresh turkey and smoky pulled pork and creamy mashed potatoes makes me long for the Christmas (and Christmas Eve ) food from this past weekend. Some leftovers remain, however as we all know, it is just not the same as sitting down to eat with your family listening to non-dinner-table-appropriate conversations. (The conversation at Grandma K's house was largely about chaotic hospital experiences and all of the things I wish I never knew about hospital practices.)
Well here we are on Wednesday, already half-way through this lazy week in which most people chose to take their precious vacation time. I have one glorious week free of classes and I have been eating it up..sleeping in until 9:30am, blog surfing, playing with my bestest Christmas gift ever ( a fancy schmancy camera).
Today is a day I like to devote some time to a fun segment of the week called W.I.A.W. or What. I. Ate. Wednesday.
Never heard of WIAW?
I got the idea from Jenn at Peas and Crayons and link up to her posts each week. This uber-creative gal also inspired me to be more fun with my photos on my blog, thus the photo collage.
