Yes, you read it right. The International House of Pancakes, IHOP, celebrated their 56th anniversary today. In honor of this celebration, pancake lovers got a short stack of pancakes for only 56 cents! Although I am not a huge fan of IHOP (I'm a Cracker Barrel type of woman), three pancakes for 56 cents is just not something that you pass up on.
As I was sitting there stuffing my face, I made the decision that I wouldn't beat myself up about skipping the gym to get cheap pancakes.
It is okay to ditch the gym sometimes and pig out as long as the occurrences are sporadic. I honestly don't even believe in dieting. I would never say that I was on a "diet," I simply say that I'm trying to eat healthy. That way if I mess up or cheat, it's perfectly alright in my head. At the end of the day we are young and although we won't be young forever, we can still enjoy these years while our metabolisms are still kickin'.
Everyone deserves a cheat day where counting calories is the last thing on our minds. You just have to remember that a cheat day is just that. One day, not a couple of days or weeks or months. Don't let it get out of control and you will be fine. I mean if we are in the gym busting our asses day after day we deserve it, right? I think yes. Now go eat those pancakes girl!
Smooches,
The College Natural
