Started logging the workouts and eating the workout calories

Hi Everyone.
I have been on MFP since August, and have lost 36 pounds! I originally just used the site to track my caloric intake, and stuck to the 1200 calories really well. I have been working out the whole time, but not logging it, and I just decided to start logging my workouts. Since I had not been logging the workout, I was not really eating my exercise calories. Now that the logging has started, I have begun to eat the extra calories and am not sure what to expect. Since I have been loosing weight consistently without the extra calories, can I expect the weight-loss to slow a bit, or to stay at the same pace? Anyone else been in this situation? I would love some advice. I have read the threads about why you should eat the workout calories, and I understand and agree with the logic. I am just wondering what will happen now that I actually am!
Thanks
