For the first time since I got serious about my diet, I let myself go. I have family in town, and with the holiday...1600 calories a day seemed next to impossible. So three days in a row over 2000.
On the plus side, I did deny myself a few times, I was more aware of what I was ingesting, and I still wrote down everything I ate. This helped control a little of my usual party grazing. So I know that if I hadn't been faithfully counting calories for the past month, this weekend would have probably been a lot worse. (More like the Christmas season, when I gained at least 5 pounds.)
Still, the first 4 days of the week went well, and my calorie deficit is over 4000 calories, so I'm still hoping for a 1 pound loss tomorrow morning! (but to be honest, I feel like all I deserve is to break even).
Happy Easter!

Holidays are tough, and even when there aren't holidays it seems that there is always some sort of occasion to splurge (friend's birthday, party, Friday, etc!). I agree with your perspective on splurge days - like you I try not to worry much about the daily calorie counts, and instead I look at calorie averages. That way if you break your diet one day, you don't end up feeling discouraged, just determined to work harder the next day. Good luck this week!
