    So it's like most holidays then...?
    Pretty much!

    Like how everyone (not literally, of course) is Irish on St. Patrick's Day.

    I had chicken enchiladas for lunch and tacos for dinner.

    Any excuse for Mexican food.

    Many people in the US celebrate Cinco de Mayo as a day of indulgence, usually with high calorie foods and alcohol. Many don't even know why the holiday exists, but justifies the party that goes with it. Alcohol plays a big part in it and contributes to your calorie goal. Excess within control. Have fun, but be safe.

    Taco salad for us. Not the least bit authentic, but it's in our usual rotation and relatively low cal.

    Meh. I had an 850-calorie Mexican feast (850 calories is my guess based off estimating portions). When considering the four miles I walked around my university today (additional 300-ish calories), I have 500 extra calories of wiggle room for any miscalculations.

    Overall, it was a pretty successful day, and the food was amazing. All I needed to do was simply eat less for breakfast and lunch and move a bit more. CICO. <3

    Of course we're partying just as much on MLK Day, President's Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Good Friday. ;)
