Food Diary – June 21 2011 – …and SCC2011 in picture (yes singular)

Saw this great word cloud of all the tweets from Science Communication Conference 2011 a short while ago, but conveniently forgot about it amidst all work. So let us have a look now at this caption of happenings, and people’s ideas.

Word cloud by Andrea Fallas.

Food. Starting with classic food lie: if you bake it yourself, it automatically contains fewer calories, right?

Half a mini-dessert-bun, cuppa tea, two buttered crumpets, low fat fromage frais and fruit'n'fibre cereal.

From what I have heard, it can be very beneficial to eat the right things before and after exercise. Ahem.

Pre-run: half a mini-dessert-bun (I went back for the other half later); post-run: triple choc brownie ice cream.

For those wondering how I got fat, see below.

Toast with ham, cheese and avocado.

And below again.

Coffee and a Chelsea bun.

Then you have food guilt by dinner.

Fruit'n'fibre with semi-skimmed milk; 'light' coleslaw; banana. Then a sample of my pork and apple stew (there was more in it than that), banana bread beer.

There was only stew because I had too cook something for my packed lunch, and you cannot cook something without tasting it! Water count: ~1.75l.

Food Diary – June 16, 2011

So, I got up at 0630 hours and went for a run. I inhaled half a mug of cold coffee before setting off. Then I got back and went through my morning routine before spending all day at work. I have now been up for nearly 15 hours, and am suitably bedazzled by the fact that my ceiling light seems brighter than usual.

Mug of coffee (pre-run); two slices of toast and a crumpet - buttered and sprinkled with sugar.

In my defence, I tend not to add extra sugar to anything, I just felt that I needed some extra energy.

Twix!

Just like so.

Bacon bap with salad cream, crisps, banana and apple juice.

Think I got hooked on crisps too. Wonder if I would eat less if I was less tired.

Forgot again. Drink coffee too quickly. Have this awesome mug again.

I did say “tired”.

Milk and waffles. It is like being five-years-old again. Although, due to my ethnicity, I did NOT have this as a regular snack at five years old.

I am now out of waffles and devastated.

Two slice of toast - buttered and sugared (addictive), spring onion and cheese omelette, cherry plum tomatoes with light caesar dressing. Mug of tea.

Another lazy girl’s dinner. Only this one tasted good!

Water count: ~1.5l. Does tea count? I have not counted it.

I WILL be further discussing the Conference (SCC2011) in the weekend; but now you have a choice! Future of Online Engagement or Podcasting?
