Post Holiday Diet Day 5 - spaghetti squash and sausage

Weight: +2.4kg (5.3lb)

Another pound gone! Almost 3lb gone for 4 days of exercises and healthy eating including one fast day. I am hoping the holiday damage will be melted away in just as many days it took to pile the weight on.

Since it is Sunday, I thought I would play some Wii workout games. Unfortunately, I realized both of my remotes were out of battery :( So it is back to some workout videos: Turbo Fire HIIT 20, followed by a new iTunes app I just found challenging people to a daily 7 minutes workout. I will wait to try that app out for a few days before I let you know what I think of it...

Today is also my second fast day for the week. My dinner for today was inspired by the "Roasted spaghetti squash with sausage" recipe published in Bountiful by Todd Porter and Diane Cu. I have skipped the oil and modified the proportions to lower the calories count, but it was absolutely delicious and will surely become one of my regular diet meal! I've included the ingredients below for my calories count, but for the recipe itself, I would encourage you to see their beautiful book or their website:
