Oops I meant "Cinco...:"

Ugh and yay! Our bosses surprised us with a surprise Mexican lunch buffet and since I'm the only Mexican here they wanted me to taste it and rate the food (I just moved here 10 months ago), I had 1 steak fajita taco and about 4tbsp of Guacamole now I feel super full because I ate it after I ate my healthy lunch now I only have 147 calories left for the day looks like I"ll have to add some good cardio after my weights this evening.

    Ugh! I know! My friends and I are going out for our usual Cinco De Mayo celebration tonight (I am not Mexican, but I love margaritas) and I am almost 1000 over in my calories after dinner tonight. I am really going to have to step up my work out tonight.

    Going over on calories once in a while is actually good for your body. If you go over one day a week you'll be less likely to have your metabolism slow down from the calorie deficit. So give yourselves a break and enjoy today without worrying about burning calories!

    Mexican food is my absolute weakness!! I can eat and eat and eat until I fill like I'll explode!

    I brought Campbell's Select Harvest Mexican-Style Chicken Tortilla Soup to observe Cinco De Mayo for lunch today. Although, the "real" food sounds so much better!

    It is also my birthday today so I have double trouble. I'm going to enjoy in moderation and put in a few extra miles this weekend to make up for it.

    I love Mexican food and Im meeting my soroity sisters at a resturant tonite. To resist the food there, i plan to stop at Taco Bell on the way and get a fresco chicken taco. wont be as good as the restautant food, but oh well! Then I will have enough calories left to have 2 light beers with my friends and then head home!

    I asked for some new recipes last night and someone put the hungry girl website on the topic. I searched it today for healthy mexican food, and found some great recipes. There is even one for a margarita that's low calorie. I love mexican food, so I was very happy to find some low calorie foods. Don't beat yourself up, which I know is easier said than done.
