Computer still broken!

I've gone through all kinds of different computer parts and the motherboard is the only one left, so my dad bought a new one and it was the wrong size! AHHH! Frustrating.

I am going to pause my fast tomorrow night for a couple of hours because the Bible study I go to normally has free dinner, and tomorrow's choice of food is pancakes and bacon. NOTHING can separate me from free bacon, and that is my own choice. I know I'm capable of not eating it, but I'm choosing to eat it anyway. So I accept responsibility for this.

On a completely opposite note from free bacon, I've lost about 5 lbs, so that's kinda cool. I'm honestly going to keep up this style of eating as long as possible. Yes, I will reintroduce things like chicken, CHEESE!!!!!, and butter into my life, but I'll also eat turkey bacon instead of real bacon, keep with the whole grains, and use substantially less butter and cheese in my pasta - a sprinkle of cheese and a dime-size of butter should add a sufficient amount of flavor instead of a heaping spoonful, plus I can still add spices and garlic and mushrooms (oh my!). Also, quinoa is awesome. And I love beans. And rice. (Minute Rice brown rice cups are my favorite.) I've started to enjoy cooking a lot more.

In the best news of all, I get to keep my job! Long story but it worked out for the best. I still don't fully believe it so I haven't started jumping up and down yet, but it's great news of course.

Hopefully the next time I post will be from my own computer!!! =P
