It's only 8 in the morning and I'm already scared to face tonight with my fam and friends! Any advice what Mexican food to order and I know Margaritas are pretty bad for you so I'm gonna try to just have one lol. If only they made sugar free or healthy ones!

    fajitas with the peppers and onions --stay away from chips, tortillas, rice beans sour cream etc unless it fits in your calories for the day. You can also work out a little more today to make room for more calories :)

    Have fun :)

    Adding a little extra exercise is a good start, so you have a little extra to splurge. There are actually sugar-free margarita mixes out there. I had one at a local casino recently and it was GOOD. Don't be afraid to ask the bartender or server! Drink lots of water with your meal, at least one between every drink, so you fight dehydration and drink less.

    Fajitas are definitely the best option or a taco salad (but don't eat the bowl!).

    Have fun!

    i say, get a good workout in and just enjoy. I am sure some would frown upon that comment but I don't allow all this to take the fun out of my life.

    Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

    ^^ I agree with betancourt.


    Workout a little more today. And enjoy the holiday.

    Or go with fajitas and limit your drinks. personally on holidays I just put in a good run beforehand to give myself 400 extra cals or so. Thats enough for a couple light beers and a few chips with salsa :)
