Week 13 Nutrition and Exercise

I did pretty awesome this week, lost 2.5 lbs off the scale--gained 2.4 lbs of muscle and lost a lb of fat. I was surprised since Friday I had a wedding I went to, I missed my workout and dinner comprised of an éclair (I mean really, what wedding reception doesn't have some sort of food?), thought I was going to go into a sugar shock since I've been sugar free for over a month... Week 13. I can't believe how fast this has gone by!
