Everything Up to Date but really isn't github

Everything Up to Date but really isn't github

I git cloned a repo down to my local machine. I forked that repo to my
github account. I made changes in my local files in sublime I removed the
original repo's origin because I want to push to my now forked repo and
then continue to alter my local files
when I do git diff you see the files I altered when I do git remote -v I
successfully see my forked repo
when I do git push -u origin master I get Everything is up to date but it
isn't ...
and when I do git branch I am in my master branch.
