I stand guilty! Time and time again I’ve found myself with my lunch, dinner and this morning, my breakfast on my desk as I tried to read emails and post on my twitter account. According to an article I read recently, this can lead to not only to poor nutritional choices, but to food-safety problems as well.

So why do I do it (and I’m sure many of you is just as guilty)? Are we that overworked?

Here are some key points I got from the article…

Eating at your desk encourages mindless eating, and overeating. (You’re most likely multitasking and not paying attention to the amount of food you’re eating)

Now that you’re eating your lunch or dinner (if you work from home like me ) you’re now spending even more time “working”.

Eating at your desk also prevents you from getting up and out of your office. You need to get the heart pumping and the blood flowing again, and lunch is an important time to do that. If you’re sitting at your desk eating, you lose that opportunity.

Besides the points mentioned above, have you considered what happens to the food bits and crumbs that gets lost on the keyboard? How about the desk in front of you? Right now, turn your keyboard upside down and give it a gentle shake. It’s not snowing crumbs, is it?

Get away from the desk and really enjoy that next meal.

Here are some pics from the wedding rehearsal we took part in yesterday. Our good friend is getting married on the weekend and myself, Tehya and India are all in the wedding party. Here are a few shots of the grounds I took. Maybe I’ll have time this weekend to take some more pics of the venue and the event all dressed-up.
