Update

My brother-in-law says that wings don't have calories if they're eaten during a playoff game. I'm so glad, because I'm not planning on counting the wings or beer that are being consumed during the Phillies game tonight!

I haven't blogged in a few days. I've been busy getting ready for my daughter's baptism & party. Which, incidentally, is how this all got started. About a month ago I decided I wanted to buy a new dress for the baptism, but I wanted it to be smaller! So I set a goal of losing 10 lbs in 4 weeks.

Well, I lost 9 lbs, which I'm very happy about. I went shopping Friday night and bought a (smaller) dress and a new pair of (smaller) jeans. And my mother-in-law told me I look skinnier, and she doesn't even know about this blog. So I'm happy!

My new goal: to lose 9 lbs by Christmas.

Okay, there is one food item that MUST be mentioned. I made buffalo wing soup the other night. Can I just say... I know now what they serve for the soup course in heaven. If you are reading this, stop. Go make this soup. You won't be sorry. I sprinkled some blue cheese on tortilla chips and broiled them to melt the cheese a bit, and crushed them on top of the soup. My sister makes this buffalo chicken dip, and this is like that, but a soup. Go make it!
