Day 5

So I succumbed and had a piece of pizza after trying to get 8 children to go to bed for 2 hours. But I only had one serving of soup for one hundred calories but today is a new day. For breakfast I went to Chik Fil A with my Dad in hope of chicken minis for 280 calories but they had just sold their last box :-( so another grilled chicken sandwich for me. As for the rest of the day I am just cleaning my room and hanging out. I think the barbecue chicken stuffed sweet potato is on the menu for today and I am not quite sure what else.

I ended up meeting my Mom for lunch at our favorite mexican restaurant. I had 7 chips with salsa and pollo loco which is grilled chicken with pico de gallo and guacamole it came with rice and corn tortillas but I passed on those. I only ate one of the pieces of chicken and a quarter of the pico and guacamole.

For dinner I made the barbecue chicken stuffed sweet potatoes with my friend Corey. We baked the sweet potatoes for around 45 minutes then marinated chicken in white wine vinegar and a dash of salt and 2 tbs of olive oil. Then you brown the chicken and add the barbecue sauce. Once the sweet potatoes are done you cut them open and mash them up while trying leaving the skin intact. Once it is mashed add a little salt and a tiny bit of butter then you pour your chicken and barbecue sauce in the potato. We mixed scallions with greek yogurt instead of sour cream. There was also a salad of lettuce carrots and tomato with a dressing that is one part dijon mustard to one part white wine vinegar.
