I woke up after midnight last night, and was ravenously hungry an hour later. I ate 1/3 of today's food in the middle of the night! Oh noes! Nicole made me an awesome fruit smoothie for breakfast today. I started hunting for more adventurous recipes last night, see if I can try one today.

I took a nap before lunch to nurse my back injury and when I woke up Nicole had made Kale Chips! OMG, they are SO freakin' good! Waaaay, better than chips. Plus you can eat more of them.

BREAKFAST (10AM):

• 20 Almonds
• Juice Smoothie (Orange, Apple, Watermelon, Ginger)
• Banana

LUNCH (5PM):

• Nicole's Homemade Sour Cream and Onion Kale Chips! (Mmm)
• 3pcs Salmon Sashimi (Ginger, Wasabi, Soy Sauce)

DINNER (9PM):

• Marinated Curry Vegetables with Parsnip Rice (OMG)

SNACKS:

• Flax crisps (SO good!)
• Bananas

EXERCISE:

• Hiking (8km)
• Built a snow man!

Despite my lack of real exercise (due primarily to my back injury) I seem to be losing weight fast. I hope it keeps up, I've got plenty to burn.

Here's what dinner looked like, based on THIS RECIPE.

Raw Parsnip Rice

Curry and Marinated Veggies

Marinated Mushroom Vegetable Curry with Parsnip Rice and Spiced Mango Chutney

My fat intake was too high today thanks to nuts. Macadamia, Cashews, Almond, and Pine (to be exact). That's a lot. I have to plan dinner better and skip morning Almonds if any meals also have nuts.

Surprisingly I still have not had any bad food cravings. I'd love a cup of tea and a piece of toast with peanut butter, but I'm not tempted by our cupboard full of delicious teas. I miss caffeine.
