Please have three. If I didn't see you in this thread, I was going to Betelgeuse you in and tell you to celebrate with 3 margaritas.

I know so many people in my area who are dead set against immigration policies because they don't want more illegal Mexicans in the country, yet they are the first ones out at the bars drinking it up and munching on nachos on Cinco de Mayo. lol wut?
Cinco de Mayo is simply a marketing holiday. As if I need another reason to eat Tex-Mex and drink tequila.
Whoosh!!! Went right over her head. Lmao!!!0 -
We're going out for tacos and cervezas tonight. Already budgeted the calories!0

Only if you spread them out over multiple meals. Haven't you learned anything, you drunk gluttons?

I have 1300 calories left for chips, cheese dip and tacos tonight. Yum!
We usually don't celebrate, not being Mexican or having any connection to Mexico. But some friends invited us out with them and we like both friends and Mexican food.0 -
God I love my mfp friends lol.
Okay, if you wanna celebrate, do it! Eat all the cheese dips, drink all the margaritas, and do the mexican hat dance all day. Just be safe with your celebrations, and have a dd or taxi ready if you need it, don't drink and drive!!0 -
I had chicken enchiladas for lunch and tacos for dinner.
Any excuse for Mexican food.0 -

It's my birthday. You're welcome, everyone!
SAME! Happy Birthday! May your day contain cake and (responsible amounts of) alcohol. Mine definitely will be
Me three.0 -
Taco salad for us. Not the least bit authentic, but it's in our usual rotation and relatively low cal.0

Got a birthday in 2 days. That will be my indulgence meal. Within reason of course.0

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.0 -
I don't get it...
