Today was my deliberate splurge day. I treated myself to a Hot Licks hot fudge sundae, though in the future, I think I’ll get a 2oz scoop of ice cream and half servings of toppings if I do a double-topping sundae again, ’cause while I didn’t eat too much in the sense that I felt over-full, I would’ve been satisfied with about half of what I had.
