Today will be a quick post with some Jumpstart tips as we get ready for our Jumpstart 4 Women Kick Off. Are you ready? This starts on September 30th. Go here <\/a>for the official announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll make it short and sweet. (not sugary sweet) (although sugar is tempting) (no, don\u2019t think about it) (come on, willpower) (you can do it) (where was I?) Right. Sugar free detox tips coming right up\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>
\n1. Drink water.<\/span><\/h1>\n

Your mother told you to.  Dr. Oz says it\u2019s good. Health magazines are always harping on it. Why won\u2019t they just leave you alone?<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, I\u2019m the worst at drinking water. Now I\u2019m going to nag you, too? Uh, yeah! Because you\u2019re going to be drinking a lot<\/em> of water. With no sugary soda, no fruit juices, no diet sodas\u2026what on earth will you drink? Yep water. Water will also help you stay fuller longer. This is important because the next tip is\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t let yourself get hangry.<\/span><\/h1>\n

Who me? Grumpy, crabby, irritable? Nooo get serious. I\u2019m a sweetheart when I\u2019m starving. You too?<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay maybe I act a little angry at the world when I\u2019ve starved myself of all of my favorite foods \u2013 but nawww \u2013 don\u2019t be afraid of me even though it may seem<\/em> like I\u2019ll bite your head off for popping a few M&Ms in front of me. No really, come a little closer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hungry + Angry = Hangry<\/span><\/p>\n

Plan meals ahead of time. Yes, this is going to take effort. Yes, it sucks. Yes you can pout about it for 5 minutes and then let\u2019s put our adult boots on and DO THIS. [flex muscles and kiss biceps]<\/span><\/p>\n

Have plenty of fresh, healthy snacks ready to go. Cut up veggies. Make a homemade dipping sauce. Cut up fruit. Buy hummus. Pack almonds in little containers for work days. Whatever your snack preferences are, get them ready PRIOR to to the start of your work week. If you let hunger strike, you\u2019re more likely to go on a cupcake rage and scream obscenities at innocent bakery workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Eat fruit<\/span><\/h1>\n

Yeah, I know fruit has a lot of natural sugar and if you can avoid it, great. But for a sweet-tooth like me, fruit saves me. It made me feel like I was getting the sweets I craved. I made a really tasty  Berry Bowl<\/a> and it put an end to my dessert cravings. Watermelon is great, too. Low calorie, sweet, and still kept me on track.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Make it easier on yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t dangle carrots in your face. (Or more appropriately, carrot cake.) If you\u2019ve got tempting sweets and processed foods in your cupboards \u2013 get rid of them! How?<\/span><\/p>\n
