Last night was rough, after a somewhat traumatic mini surgery and a long day at work I was dead a$$ tired. I was not in the mood to eat healthy. I was really craving Pad Thai, but the restaurant near us didn’t answer their phone..maybe they were closed? Then I remembered we had hot dogs in the fridge and Alexia Sweet Potato Tater Tots in the freezer. That would suffice.
Then I had my yummy hot doggy! A long time ago I received 1 free coupon for National Deli Hot Dogs and we’ve been buying them ever since. I added some American cheese, onions, National Deli mustard (the only kind Jay will eat now), and Frank’s Red Hot. This dinner really hit the spot.
I woke up this morning with a sore armpit and a hungry stomach. After a quick shower and painfully trying to put a shirt on I made some Chocolate Shakeology and hit the road for work.
Today was the day I had to get the gauze pulled out of my incision…I was dreading this the whole friggin morning. But nevertheless, I am still super hungry lately…even though I haven’t worked out since Sunday. I grabbed a Fage 0% Cherry Pomegranate Yogurt and threw in a handful of walnuts. It was good!
At 11:30 I was at the doctor’s office awaiting more pain. To my surprise, taking the gauze out wasn’t so bad. BUT, putting new gauze in sucked! It stung SOOO badly from the medicine it’s soaked in. Now on Friday I have to go back to get sticthes. UGH. Now back to my food… the last meal I’ve eaten so far was lunch. I had a yummy Ezekiel Sandwich with barbecue chicken I had leftover from the crockpot. I’ve been taking it to work since Jay is sick of it, hehe. I think he can only eat something twice in a row max. Here is the easy recipe!
Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken
- 6 chicken breasts
- 1 ½ cups your fave bbq sauce
- 1/4 cup Italian dressing
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Worchestire sauce
- Dashes of hot sauce to taste
- Place chicken in crockpot.
- Mix all other ingredients in a bowl and pour over chicken.
- Cover and set for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
- When it’s done cooking, remove chicken, shred, and place back in crockpot uncovered on low for about 30 minutes.
Now I’m done for the day, time for cooking class with Mom while my friends are at the Kyle Richards book signing right down the street from the cooking school!
What was the best thing you ate today?

I love that you ate what you were craving! I think that’s super healthy – and those Alexia “tots” looks delicious! Are they gluten-free?

I’ve never heard of sweet potato tots, I might have to try those! Hope your arm is better soon!

I can’t find those tots anywhere! Where did you find them? All I see near me are the actual sweet potato fries and the sweet potato waffle fries not the tots. GR!
I’m sorry you are going through all of that with your arm. I hope it feels better ASAP!

Gosh that dog looks good. I’m missing all forms of meat right now. I don’t care what kind of meat it is. I’d eat that right now if I could.

I’m sorry to hear that, what an ordeal! Glad it’s over and you are on the mend..
I’ve never heard of sweet potato tater tots, but they sound awesome!
Cravings happen – I roll with them as well! Best thing I ate today was probably the egg and cheese sandwich I had for breakfast. It was so good!
I’m not even a fan of hot dogs generally, but the combo of your toppings has me really wanting one!!!
