So my hubby and I have lately with out really meaning to, or realizing it....we have been decreasing our portion sizes. I'm so proud of us. We used to go through a complete 1Lb box of noodles, 1Lb of meat and 1 container of spaghetti sauce in one sitting, but last night we didn't even use 1/2 of it for the 2 of us, and we were both full. I don't know what's changing our appetites, but I'm praying it will cause us (or at least me) to start losing weight.
Earlier this week, we went to little caesar's pizza and got their meal deal of breadsticks, soda and a pizza and didn't finish it in one setting either.
We both have been more interested in salads and healthier foods. We use coconut oil like its going out of style with our cooking. It tastes so good and its got good fat and is good for you. We have been doing more protein and less carbs (or less pastas) other than the occasional mac and cheese.
We have also been snacking on popcorn, which is actually a healthier snack that what we have in the past had for snacks.

tonight...
i've been sitting here reading blogs, i am having that itch again to create. I want to go out dumpster diving....however I live in (what hubby and I call) little mexico. People in our area don't throw out good furniture that is a little worn, they throw out garbage....complete garbage that can't be salvaged. Right now I don't have funds for gas to go across town looking for peoples trash, but I want to create. I sit here crocheting instead of doing what I've been desperately desiring to create or to redo - furniture. There is a goodwill about a mile from home, but they only get trash.....so i think i'm going to ask my momma to go up there to the trift stores in wv and bring me things i can create with.
however, right now i'm in the process of finishing one of my w.i.p.s....i had one idea of what i wanted to do, but hated it, it was too heavy, so I'm now redoing this bag.
this week i have cleaned my bathroom's sink and toilet, mailed some stuff and been finishing wips. I just sent my momma 2 bags for her, one for my momaw, and a wheel chair bag for my popaw. i have made one more and then the one on my lap. I also have my first adult sized blanket in progress too. Its for my momma.
We watched the new x-men first class movie. it had its cheesy factors, but it was kinda interesting. i like the rest of them, but that wasn't the best one....but I still want it to go in our collection. lol.
i'm being distracted by watching mythbusters....i will write more later. sorry i haven't been writing much lately....i'm working on following through with what i'm starting.
