pants feel better when they fit...

So don't buy ones that don't fit people.  I know, that made NO sense... BUT!  I keep majority of my jeans, regardless of my weight, because I hear people constantly complain that "I threw out my clothes when they were too small" then they buy all new clothes, rather than working on their weight to fit in the old clothes.  I am one of those people, except I'm a slight hoarder, so I don't throw out like anything...  BUT!  I recently fit into a pair of pants I was trying to fit into.  YAY!  I am also down about 10 pounds since I started really focusing on losing weight.  All that lack of solid food in the morning must be helping...  Gets me to eat a large amount of fruit in the morning.  I also have started adding small amounts of spinach, slowly easing myself into green smoothies.  I need to start interchanging between the smoothies and some other healthy breakfast foods because I'm eating my smoothie, and then I'm STARVING by "snack time" at work.  Then I want to eat cheetos!  They're so good...
But I've started making chicken to try to spice up some salads and like wraps and stuff.  Its kind of working... I mean I'm eating it, lol.  I'm adding different fruits and these addicting string cheese snacks to eat instead of cheetos, and instead of like potato chips and stuff.  BUT! I have not cut these foods out of my diet completely because I'm not just trying to lose weight, I'm trying to change how I eat so I never get to be these weight again.  Today I tried making a cheese sauce for a burrito, or this thing my fiance and I refer to as "soggy nachos".  Wasn't as good as restaurant quality cheese sauce... I think I need more cheese, and more varieties of cheese.  Like you know, taco blend cheese, not just american cheese... and I will NOT use cheese wiz, though, being from Philly that should be a staple in my kitchen, just saying...

Working on articles for The Right Brain Bunch, and trying to design my own wedding invitations because I am not finding anything I like, and they all pretty much look the same, or I think my fiance would go, 'ugh, no... don't like it...'  but I also think he'll just yes me to death (like hes kinda been doing lately, lol.  I asked him which invites he liked, he said invited B. and when I said I like invited A. he changed to those, AND BACK AGAIN, when I changed my mind... so, lol)  Just signed up for some online video course things (not for college credits, just for fun) to aid me, in aiding all you lovely people in learning to knit better.  But educating MYSELF so I can educate YOU.  Thats how that teaching stuff works right?  just kidding.

All for now!

**UPDATE!**
I forgot!  I've apparently gained a green thumb... I have like 7 sunflowers growing in my classroom at work, one crown of thorns, and 2 Gourds that came from seeds that a client gave me.  Love it.  Pictures will come later, as the sunflowers won't blossom until august apparently... but the large stems look cool!
