Solid foods: Day one

A few weeks ago I posted my daily food intake during seven days of pureed foods. It's about time I did the same for solid foods - so here is my first installment. This should cover an interesting seven days because at the moment I am still on holiday (at home), then there will be a weekend, and then I go back to work on Monday. It will be interesting to see how my daily activities affect my eating habits. I've included sections on drinks and activities this time since I am now recording these daily as well.
