Goat yogurt

See?  I knew those extra carbs would show up on the scale. And after I ate the wings, I realized the salt is going to punish me on the scale tomorrow too.  So more days of crummy numbers.  I may have to start measuring myself so I can see there is improvement, if the scale is being contrary.  Right now I have to lose 2.75lb by next Tuesday!
