My number 1 struggle is portion control. I tend to go overboard, I used to let my emotions control how much I ate, what I ate and when I ate. It was hard, I didn't know how to change it or change the way I thought about food and it's relationship to me.
Cue the beginning - With the help of my coach, I found the perfect program for me. Colour coded containers that are the perfect portion size for the specific category, carbs, protein, fruit, veggies, healthy fats and oils. The number 1 rule is that whatever you put into the container, the lid needs to fit on top.
The best part? You can actually use these containers to cheat!! Obviously, I'm not going to be eating chips every day, or chocolate etc. But the option is still there, and it teaches you the proper portion size and moderation. It is an excellent tool for anyone. There is a certain number of each container you can eat each day, dependant on your personal calorie needs. I get to eat 5 green, 3 purple, 5 red, 4 yellow, 1 blue, 1 orange and 5 tsps.
So I did a round one back in May and lost 6 lbs and 5.5 inches overall in just 21 days. Taking the facts about PCOS into consideration (look at my post from Day 1 to see those again) this is actually quite amazing for me, I was ridiculously excited about my results because I had finally found something that worked for me, that worked with the PCOS and above all was teaching me proper portion control for life. This wasn't a one and done, I could apply what I learned to the rest of my life and create a healthy habit for life.
So I'm going to show you what my lunch will be today, using the containers but first I HAVE to tell you about an event I am going to this weekend. The woman who created the 21 day fix system is going to be in Winnipeg and I have a ticket to go to her event.
- I get to do a live workout with her
- I get my picture taken with her after!!
I am beyond excited to meet Autumn Calabrese on Saturday!!
(I can still get tickets if you would like to come down and join us for the live workout and extras, just head over to my facebook page and send me a message and let me know!)

Okay here's my lunch! A chicken salad wrap, some peppers, a nectarine, a kiwi and an apple. This all equals 2 yellow, 1 red, 3 green and 2 purples (the cheese is one blue).
I love how much food I actually get to eat!!
