Had an azmazing day at work today. This really great guy came in last week and asked me to do a painting of mine as a tattoo.. " Our Lady of the Arcade" a tribute to Ms. Pacman



not quite finished yet. The guy I worked on was super cool and I am trying to convince him and his wife to join SG, they would so mesh with our friends in SGLA..

Wii is becoming my life outside of work. I am so poor that we can't afford to go out clubbing and because of trying to lose weight we are playing the more active games.. and it's working..

So last week I got notice from my Credit card company that my rewards were going to expire. So I went online and saw how many I had and there were 30,000 points.. so I went shopping. I got 4 movies and Japanese language coach for my Nintendo DS and for the Wii I got Dance Dance Revolution. You can guess what I have been doing since I got the DDR.. yep slipping in a dance mat and making a fool of myself in my living room.. Fun Times. I think we need a second dance mat so more than one can play at a time.

on another note.. I was MissMisha when I started on her and when I got married I became Mrs_Misha.. but really my mane is Misha. I think I want a more fun screen name.. but what?? So I am taking suggestions any ideas? under consideration:
Isabau (from lady hawk)
Big_Eyed_Girl (for my big eyed art)
Princess_Peach
CutenCreepy

Wow I haven't posted much at all this month. Been busy with real life and not really into the internet too much.Just time for a quick skim of the groups and maybe a blog or two. I will update my busy month in pictures in the next couple of days..

Hope everyone has been doing ok

So the diet has now morphed into just eating healthy.. much easier to live with. So I have dragged out my cute lunch supplies so my lunches won't only be healthy, but cute as well.

here is my bento box. I got it in Chinatown here in LA.. It may be more of a Chinese lunchbox than a Bento box, but I use it for my bento.



and here is my lunch for tomorrow


*Chef Salad (turkey,swiss,egg, tomato and romaine lettuce)
*Cucumber and carrot cut out stars and blossoms and ranch dressing
*blue berries and black berries.. yogurt in hello kitty container

done with week one of South Beach Diet and I have lost 7lbs!!!!!!
the first two weeks you do NO grains, rice, fruit, sugar and... no ALCOHOL Mostly lean cuts of meat, eggs and veggies galore a bit dull.
so one more week and I have club Hell and a going away party to go to with these restrictions..

but on the other hand a possible 7 more pounds to come off.. You can't do the first phase for more than 2 weeks, it's not really meant to. It's just meant to be like a carb and sugar cleanse as well as a quick weight loss boost to inspire you..

Well I am inspired and in just one week I have learned alot about my eating habits and food in general.
Like:
- most low fat food is very high in sugar and carbs
- I wasn't eating nearly enough veggies
-there is so much hidden sugar in our everyday food (especially high fructose corn syrup)

We ( the hubby and I) did this diet a few years ago and lost alot of weight on it, but it all came back because as a whole it is a bit unrealistic in how I would really eat. So we both rebounded. But it does make a quick reset button for our eating habits and in another week we will start on a modified version of the phase 2.. Plus we have both been getting workouts with Wii Fit..

Onward and upward

I hate to write another post about being sick, but I am.. I am better, but not over it yet.

I am homes SICK I tried and I tried but the cold caught up with me.. So it's tons of herbs, and emengern-C and these herbal tablets as well as washing out my sinus cavities.. I am desperate, I need to be better..

in other news, the time has come. Me and the Man really want to lose weight. We have both been doing the Wii fit but no change in weight because our eating habits suck. We were eating healthy but some how got off track. so it's back on South Beach Diet. it worked really good for us a couple of years ago and we can use the first two weeks a sorta of cleanse. With my hypoglycemia I can't do most cleanse,s but this will break the carb beast that has taken me over.. So for 2 weeks... no fruit.. no breads or rice and ... no booze

Last time I lost like 7 lbs in 2 weeks and he lost almost 15.. so it will be a good start and with the Wii fit we should be not just less heavy but fitter. We are both getting older and the extra weight is just too much of a heart risk as well as being rough on my knees..

My birthday was good..
but I really need to slow down, tonight was the last time I go out till work on Sunday.. for the last 4 weeks I have fighting off (sucessifully) the cold that took down everyone I knew.. I didn't get it, just felt a bit tired. well it's hit me.. SO I am grounded this weekend.I need to stay in this weekend and get better. Oh and I think I broke my middle toe, I was drunk lat night and stagged into Morningstar's platform boots. Damn you margritas for being so good.. So a definate stay at home and get better time..

Oh and I watched the Red Wings beat the kings 4-0 at the staples center
GO WINGS!!!!

Yeah for birthdays!!!!
