Cheat Day

On Cheat Day I bought a bag of my favorite Easter candy, Cadbury mini eggs. The bag was empty by the end of the day. Not sure who helped me eat them all!
Then for dinner I made Green Chili-Cheese Flour Flautas (vegetarian for Jaley), Chicken Corn Tortilla Flautas and Mexican Rice. I was at my mom's house hanging out with Jordan, Justine and Priscilla. The Mattie was out of town for work. So, we declared a Fiesta Feast! The vegetarian flautas were surprisingly good and reminded us all of Southwest Eggrolls from Chili's. So, you KNOW those were good! Justine whipped up a queso using velveeta and jalapeno ranch dip,mmmm yum.
It was fun and delicious. I'd say I did well on making flautas for the first time. Great way to end a Cheat Day! The rice I made is the only recipe I ever use for mexican rice. I change it up but always put cumin, cilantro, onion and lime juice in it.

My little Vk and I, she loves rice like her mamma!

As most of you know I'm on a Diet and Cheat Day is part of it. HUH?! I know it's crazy, right. I eat well (1200-1500 cal) for 5-6 days before I have a cheat day. It makes life simple and I've already lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks. I think that's flippety, flip, flip awesome! I'm loosely following the Body For Life diet plan. But I make up my own healthy food menus (I especially like taking old family comfort food recipes and making it healthy) and workouts. More info about Cheat Day here. This plan is good for those weeks when you know your gonna have a birthday to attend or holiday and you can just plan to cheat that day and no guilt!

Happy Sunday! Today is the day after my cheat and it's after noon and I'm still full from last night! Back to healthy eating today. The sun is out and I'm ready to get outside with the family.
