THERESA: Does anyone have healthy inspiration to provide for the Fourth of July holiday? Recipes, exercise plans, bits of wisdom?

APRIL: It is hard to avoid hotdogs and hamburgers, ice cream and junk food on the Fourth, but here is what I plan to do with the menu: have a giant watermelon instead of cake, have pork loin and veggie burgers instead of the old standbys and get some fudge pops and water ice instead of ice cream.

THERESA: I'm going to run and do weights. That's my only hedge against the holidays.

APRIL: I hope to get out and run early on Saturday and Sunday before the partying and eating begin. I have been splitting my work-out routine to fit my crazy schedule, so I've been lifting weights and doing crunches in the morning and then I run at some point.
