Janet Jackson After Losing on Nutrisystem
Still not a big fan of the Nutrisystem program, but damn does Janet look good after losing on the program:
Weigh-in and Update Week #11
So we're in week #11 already. After slacking a bit last week, I'm back on program and am down a total of 4 pounds. I wasn't worried about the 3 lbs weight gain last week as I knew once I got back on track with program and bumped up the workouts I'd start losing again.
Dipping into my Activity Points has definitely helped with warding off hunger levels. For those of you who aren't familiar with Weight Watchers Activity Points, they're points you earn while working out. So for example, if I did an 1 hour of activity, I can earn 4 additional points and trade them in for food. I would never dip into my Activity Points for fear of not losing or gaining, but as I've come to realize this week, I can use my daily points, extra weekly points and Activity Points and still lose weight and the 4 pound weight loss is a testament to that.
As for workouts, I'm working out 4 days a week and doing fitness classes at a local gym, light cardio here and there, and I just recently joined a Bootcamp which I hope to update readers on fairly soon.
Here are my results for week #11:

Quick and Easy Stiry Fry
If you're anything like me, you probably don't eat as many vegetables as you probably should because you don't know what to do with them. But one thing is for sure-I do know how to cook up a quick and easy stir fry so I thought I'd post up a simple recipe for those of you who can be a bit challenged in the vegetable department as I can.
Ingredients:
Sauce:
Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic chilli sauce, chicken broth, chicken boullion powder, and cornstart and set aside.
Pre-heat oven to 350 Degrees, line pan with foil and spread shrimp evenly through pan. Once oven has been pre-heated place shrimp in oven and let bake for approximately 10 minutes.
In a wok or skillet, heat 3-4 Tbsp of oil over medium-high heat; add in your onions and let sautee until slightly brown. After oil has browned, add your vegetables: broccoli, carrots, baby corn, and zuccini and stir fry for about 5-10 minutes. Once shrimp has cooked, add shrimp and stir fry for another 3 minutes; at this point you can then add your sauce.
Once you've finished stir fry, serve with rice: my favorite is Jasmine rice.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of cooked pre-cooked shrimp
- Sliced onions
- Chopped carrots
- Broccoli florets
- Baby corn (in can)
- Zuccini cubed
- Oil of your choice-3-4 Tbsp (I prefer canola or coconut oil)
Sauce:
- Hoisin Sauce-4 Tbsp
- Soy sauce-1 Tbsp
- Garlic Chilli Sauce-1tsp (more if you prefer)
- Chicken broth 1 cup
- Chicken Boullion Powder (1 Tbsp
- Cornstarch-1 Tbsp

Week 10 Weight Loss Update
I'm a little late with my week #10 update and I'll admit that I delyaed providing an update as a result of being ashamed with my latest results. But then again, if it's all about being accountable to my followers then I need to come clean.
In between a really stressful week at work and the visit of my friends (you know who they are) I ended up putting on 3 pounds:( .
It all started a couple of weeks ago, where I had been super stressed at work and the arrival of my friends and before you knew it I was indulging and literally gorging myself with food (the addiction of food). What ended up turning into a one day binge fest, turned into a 10 day fest and I had ended up putting on 3 pounds. Iknow, I know, I'm so dissapointed in myself, but you know what, such is life. I messed up, but the way I see it, I had 10 days where I slacked a bit on program, but as soon as those 10 days were over, I jumped back on board with program-wait to you see my next update: I've lost those 3 pounds and then some:).
Either way, here are my results for week #10:
