Ok....so we all know that we overeat on holidays. It doesn't just have to be Thanksgiving and Christmas either. Actually July 4th is one of the times we consume the most calories because of the types of food we eat. Let's not forget about dessert! Going along with Casey's post, try making fruit the star of the dessert table! If you make it visually appealing, people (and I mean me:) are less likely to head to the red, white and blue cake/pie and it doubles as a centerpiece saving not only calories, but money! Try your hand at this ez watermelon cake only stick a firecracker in the top instead of a #1 candle! If that is too hard try the skewers (and you even get a little chocolate with them!). Whatever you do..TRY! WE CAN DO THIS! Make the 4th a celebration of freedom and our health too! Happy 4th!

P.S. Banging your head on a wall burns 150 calories an hour...NOW doesn't it sound like a great idea to stick with yummy fruit?! :)
