1. Strategize your carb intake
* Eat grains early in the day, if at all
* Limit grains to SPROUTED grains (My fave brands: Ezekiel, Dave’s Killer Bread)
* No grains after lunch, you don’t need them for fuel later in the day
* Aim to get most carbs from fruits and veggies
* Veggie carbs = starchy veg: sweet potatoes, yams, delicata squash, spaghetti squash, pumpkin, corn, peas

2. Workout Smart
* Strength Training should be a priority (3 days a week)
* Strength Training sessions should use full body moves (squats, lunges, dead lifts, push ups, pull ups, rows)
* Stop doing all inefficient/insignificant small muscle exercises (crunches, bicep curls) in order to have more time for full body moves
* Turn your “Strength” sessions into cardio by minimizing rest between exercises and adding some power exercises like jump squats and burpees (as seen in photo)
* Do 2 HIIT sessions a week to elevate your metabolism and keep it fired up for 24-48 hours post workout
* Stop all steady state cardio workouts
* Use SuperMoms Workouts (on sale for Mother’s Day all this week!) for your Strength Training and HIIT sessions
3. Keep Yourself Accountable
* Tell others your plan so they can support you
* Post your meal plans on your fridge and only shop off your menu
* Post your workout schedule and cross off workouts as you complete them
* Get support from family, friends, FHMs on Facebook, and ME
* Make your goal very specific and attainable (I will workout 5 days a week and eat clean 90% of the time, allowing myself 1 cheat meal a week until July 4th).
* Stop putting off your goals – start today by cleaning out your cupboards and getting in your first workout
* Build momentum in order to get results – ACTION STEPS!
