No meat for 40 days (day 1)

Yesterday was fat tuesday and I made a bunch of bacon... I didn't eat it all but it is sitting on the counter in the same spot as yesterday morning temping me.

Lately I've been denying myself things I indulge in. I don't want things to be in control of my life I want God. I've already decided to quit fast food and have done good with that. For February I am fasting from ebay. That's been tough, I think I have problems being materialistic so that is a good exercise for me.

Also, I've put on some weight over the past few years, I got a blood test at work (for less than free wooo) and they said that my cholesterol is high. I want to have a healthy lifestyle and I want to deny myself so that I can focus on Christ better. Jesus hung out in the desert for 40 days with no food, I should be able to just not eat dead flesh of beast for that long. It isn't going to be easy though.

I think I better hide that bacon away so it isn't as much of a temptation.
