Tuesday weigh day

Ok so today is weigh in day. I was a little apprehensive about weighing today. As I mentioned in a post last week I was going to try just entering my food calories (in) as opposed to also including exercise calories (out) to my nutrition tracker. I did that. The reason I was apprehensive was that this weekend was a very busy one. We attended a party Friday night, a college football game Saturday and a party on Sunday. I really tried to pay attention to what I ate instead of mindless nibbling. I tried to pay attention to calories. If my tracker doesn't have a specific food item there are plenty of places on the internet that do. Also, I found a recipe converter as well. Again, I'm not sure how accurate these are but at least they are rough estimates.
I am proud to say I lost 3 pounds this week. (5 total)! I do believe in full disclosure, and I don't want to discount any of the work I've done, I did have a fever last night. I'm not sure if I had sweat out some stuff that may show back up on  the scale next week. I certainly hope not. I do know I worked hard this week. Both in the gym and the kitchen. Another important note, I sampled foods at the parties and even had one glass of wine. I did set calories aside for that. Therefore I tasted things and never felt deprived.
