T minus 23 days (Sunday, July 22nd, 20122): “Be
a Kid”
Today I ate with abandon like a kid would. I went out for
breakfast and had some of the most indulgent pancakes ever. They were filled
with blueberries and blackberries and had fresh raspberry syrup with them and
were sprinkled with powdered sugar. I slathered on that syrup like nobody’s
business. Usually, if I were to eat something like that, I’d think of how many
calories are in it, probably only eat one pancake, how little actual
nutritional value is in it and then maybe make sure to get a good workout in
later in the day. I mean, seriously, there was a lot of butter on these
pancakes! But, today, I just enjoyed every bite of those pancakes (almost three…)!
It was delicious and oh so satisfying. The nap that happened afterwards because
of the sugar crash was also oh so satisfying.
Also, as has become a Sunday tradition, I hung out at some friends’
house and we grilled dinner and hung out in their pool. On the way home, I went
to Dairy Queen and got an ice cream cone. First, I remember being so excited to
go to DQ when I was a kid. My parents didn’t take us out for ice cream all of
the time. It really was just a once in awhile treat. But, man, when we went to DQ
that was so exciting. And, what’s more satisfying as a kid than an ice cream
cone on a hot summer night? That ice cream cone tonight was delicious! So far,
I’m finding the “Be a Kid” challenges the ones with the most instant
gratification!
