What's on your Easter Sunday Menu RNY'ers?
Good morning Peach. Nice to see you heading up the thread! We are hosting 8 for dinner late today after DD arrives for a one week visit.
QOTD: I was raised Protestant but do not attend church largely because I knew the reverend at our church well growing up. I was a friend of his daughters and he was NOT a nice person. Possibly a good leader, but a nasty person to his family. I believe that being a good and moral person in your actions is what is most important. DH and my children are catholic and it is important to DH to go to mass so I take him every week (leaving for Easter mass in about 1/2 hour). At our former home, the priest at his church was a wonderful, caring and kind man who helped us through the illness and death of eldest DD, so I felt better about spiritual leaders after that.

Your experience with the reverend is part of my reason in not going to church. All to often I see the 'non-church' side Of people. It's hard for me to accept who that who one is on Sunday is magically different Monday through Saturday. I need to remember we're all imperfect everyday.
i once read this in a church sign "we are born broken, God's grace is the glue." I often have to tell myself this.

Good Morning and HAPPY EASTER everyone! Thanks for starting us off, Peach!
I went to an Adult Easter Egg Hunt yesterday, which was basically bar hopping, but my friend and I didn't drink, we just went around to the bars and collected our eggs. It was fun. Woke up this morning to a TON of snow on the ground and more falling! I was going to go to my friend's church, but it was cancelled due to the snow. I'm going over to her family's house for Easter lunch. I don't know what's on the menu but will try to choose healthy foods.
QOTD: I was raised in the Lutheran church and then we switched to the Episcopal church. I LOVE Unity church, but there are none in my town. I am more spiritual than I am religious and can communicate with God in nature as well as in a church.
Accountability: I couldn't get MyFitnessPal to work for me yesterday so I don't have yesterday's totals, but I'm sure it's similar to what I usually eat.
B: Prosciutto & mozzarella sticks, banana, light & fit Greek yogurt
L: not sure what we are having at my friend's house, but will choose wisely.
D: microwave meal
S: prosciutto & mozzarella sticks, light & fit Greek yogurt, 2 Atkin's peanut butter cups
E: I doubt I'll get out in the snow and walk today. It's too deep.
Have a wonderful day everyone! Happy Easter!

Good morning everyone and Happy Easter! Nice slow morning before getting ready to go to my sisters for the day. It should be a nice day and I'm looking forward to it!
QOTD - Catholic all the way. I didn't appreciate it growing up at all and was 'spiritual not religious' for years. When Pope Francis came to be 5 years ago, it slowly restored my faith. I started regularly visiting the Mission to light a candle and pray. Lately Rob (who is also Catholic) and I have started going to mass once a month. I love the tradition, rituals and ceremony of it all plus the smell, the music, the bells and chants... I understand no religion is perfect, but this is part of who I am and it was never more clear to me than after my very devout father passed away in February.
Accountability - great
