So, you’ve been “good” all week. You eat balanced meals, healthy snacks, and exercise. That’s the Utopian formula of a great lifestyle that will lead to balance and weight loss. But you know what? It’s no fun to always be “on”. Sometimes you just need to have a day where you don’t worry about what you eat.

Even the Body for Life plan says to eat whatever you want one day a week. The only rule is - if you buy chips, cookies, etc and eat them on Sunday, through them away so they aren’t around on Monday. Most people report that after a while, they don’t even desire the junk. Even still, it’s nice to have one night a week where you can kick back and relax.

For someone like me, the one day to “eat whatever” may result in me baking. Today I plan on making apple crisp with some apples I need to use.  I won’t make my full fat version. I’ll scale back on the butter and use some olive oil mixed with a tiny amount of butter instead. I’ll post the results of the healthier apple crisp if it actually tastes good. If you don’t see a recipe - well then you’ll know why.
