That's right, I said Cinco EN Mayo, not Cinco DE Mayo. The difference being "In" rather than "Of" for those of you without the benefit of a minor in Spanish - or rudimentary Sesame Street. Not that my minor has been all that beneficial in an area devoid of anyone speaking Spanish. We don't even get Univision. I would have kept cable if I could have watched some telenovelas. But I digress, as usual. Anyway, although Cinco de Mayo is a great day for us gringos to get our margaritas on, I thought it might be more appropriate to declare a goal for this day, ergo Cinco en Mayo. Five in May. As in five pounds. There is no real reason besides lack of will power that I can't lose 5 pounds in May. Especially as I will be continuing to train for my half marathon the first weekend in June. If nothing else I should be running a few of those pounds off. How nice would it be if I could also eat right and lose a couple more?
We'll see how it goes. My goals tend to fall by the wayside pretty quickly. Although I am still sticking to the small mocha lattes. And small anything else that comes in sizes. Of course anything that comes in sizes should be verbotten anyway.
Salúd!
P.S. I changed my cell phone calling plan and I save $12 this month. Yeah!

I just always feel like "stealing" my mom's bike at the most unrealistic times -- like 11pm. :P
after losing inches but not pounds at the gym, i changed up my workout habits and i'm eating much better – and i've lost 5 pounds in two weeks. this is helping a lot in terms of the food.
synopsis: you know where your shirts come from (it says so on the tag); you will spend an entire weekend looking for a washer and dryer; yet the stuff you put in your body, you probably have no idea where it came from, and very little idea as to what's in it. you just go to the grocery and buy what's cheap.
interesting side bar not in this article: in 2004, the u.s. sent $20 million worth of lettuce to mexico. the same year, we imported $20 million worth of mexican lettuce. california ships 20% of its table grapes to china, which happens to be the largest table grapes exporter in the world. i'm going to walk down to the farmer's market now.
