How was everybody's 4^th of July? Did you enjoy your fireworks, BBQs, and family time? Better still did you all keep on your diets and stay focused on your health goals during the celebration?

Check out my Guest Post at MizFit: Food Glorious Food

From the Fitness Health Network this week were quite a few good articles in my opinion. Check them out:

• Did you know that One Pound of Fat = 3500 Calories? Journal of Healthy Living explains calorie deficits in relation to weight loss goals.
• Lazy Man and Health is looking into Hotel Friendly Food and not hotel food so much as food you can take on the road with you.
• FatManUnleashed is having a little contest this week. If you like Smoothie King you have until Wednesday the 9th of July to respond with a comment about the Smoothie King Chain or products.
• Walking 45 Minutes - The Ups And Downs by NCN is an interesting look at the mental state of a fellow blogger. Do you feel this way when exercising? How about in other areas of your life- like going to work?
• Drinking Water Only: A Month-Long Experiment in Self-Discipline by Get Fit Slowly is about habit breaking. Can you kick the sugar, caffeine, and alcohol addiction?

Now for the rest of blogosphere:

• Nutrition Fitness Life presents Yoga Revisisted. Are you looking for a change of pace from the high intensity exercises? Yoga might just be for you.
• MizFitOnline brings us a great interview with Tues Tip: Rocco style; from the personal trainer Rocco Castellano.
• How do you fight cravings? In Break Me off a Piece… at Weight Down, Money Up explores options such as moderation and learning to just say no. Who knew that simple phrase could do more than protect you from drugs?
• Andrew posts this week on Lessons learned: Exercise is not a dirty word. It really isn't, but if you don't believe me this is an excellent post to read.
• After my own scare with dehydration it's imperative to remember to Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Sheamus informs readers that being 2% short on the fluids your body needs can result in a 10-20% loss in your body's performance for exercise.
• Deflabbify brings us the killer hidden cost of weight-loss programs this week and for those who are looking to join a program might just think twice.
• As it is summer I thought this post from Fit36 was a great read: The Challenges of Living Healthy While on Vacation. What do you and your family do?
• Thinking to Thin brings us Baked Beef Ziti in Recipe Thursday and more... for only 5pts.
• In June Recap Laura from Pursuit of Healthyness examines her routine and life style changes for healthier living. Can you give her any tips?

On the hundred pushup front... I was unable to complete the 3rd day of the 3rd week... I sputtered out at 22 on the final set that was supposed to be 27+. Why you ask? I am still working why... I think it was a combination of sore muscles from exercise and a vigorous massage I received on vacation? I was concentrating on the form and I could tell that I was have a harder time with the day's pushups... So I will be repeating week 3 next week.
