Kim,
So glad that you are making it work for you.
I am one that can't handle cheats, so I just stick with the plan and try to endulge in things that I know I like and are OP. Not endulge by eating too much of them, but by including those as part of my daily plan rather than forcing myself to eat something I know I don't like.
That said, we all know how totally fickle that darn scale is, so remember that when it all comes down to it, how do you feel? How do your clothes fit? Are you tired? Are you back on the up/down blood sugar cycle due to your cheats? I think these are the most important questions, though I do understand the exhileration of stepping on that scale and seeing it down!
