The name has been changed from “Confession” and it is offered in many parishes for 15 minutes on Saturday afternoon to satisfy the “dogmatic kooks” who insist that they still need to go.<br /><br />lol...Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704944620839677383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-41440100755701998462011-04-13T01:06:19.426-04:002011-04-13T01:06:19.426-04:00Hey Carol: Remember when you were wondering what a...Hey Carol: Remember when you were wondering what a "liturgust" was.I was too.

whooh! Thank you for the inspiration--wow...Maria,<br /><br />whooh! Thank you for the inspiration--wow. The power of prayers with fasting is way up there on the scale. Say a few for me while you're there. :)<br /><br />Jerry,<br /> <br />I agree with you 100% about keeping the focus on protein and staying away from carbs. When I want a carb, any carb, I picture it taped to my backside and then discern, because that is exactly where it's going to wind up. Additionally, about an hour after I eat a carb, my sugar (for me it's chocolate) cravings kick in - so it is a double whammy for me. <br /> <br /> <br />The problem with meat (excluding turkey and chicken breast), cheese and butter - is cholesterol. I definitely don't avoid these things -- or replace them with make believe stuff filled with chemicals (like margarine or can't believe it's not butter - etc.)--but I do have to watch them. <br /> <br />btw -- weight watchers is great for teaching people food values and good habits, recipes for variety, tricks. You can do it online now for 10 dollar a month when they run specials. <br /> <br />I also agree that something as little as the cream in your coffee can destroy your whole day of dieting.<br /> <br />Have thoughts on splenda?<br /> <br />I used to replace the sugar in my tea/coffee with splenda but I find myself drifting away from it and making that be the exception. You can make do with a quarter of a teaspon of sugar in your tea-- at a couple of times a day -- I am not sure its worth whatever the heck splenda is. I'm not a fan of processed food and chemicals. I stay as far away as possible from them.<br /> <br />I'll check out westonaprice.org though -- thanks for the tip and for sharing your thoughts about healthy eating.TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-41036619500201908972011-04-12T21:54:12.195-04:002011-04-12T21:54:12.195-04:00I am mighty hungry about now.

You know, they are going to do something really meaningful. OK, but you know what, fasting is a lot harder that people think, right?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704944620839677383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-29884926285136452362011-04-12T10:40:54.358-04:002011-04-12T10:40:54.358-04:00"Cheese, meat and butter are my downfall!&quo..."Cheese, meat and butter are my downfall!"<br /><br />That's a myth.

I'm sure the Sisters of Diocletian at that nearby high school do.<br /><br />Maybe you need to get wider so you catch yourself in the mirror! Atkins, Carol, Atkins. Don't waste your money on Weight Watchers. Or go to westonaprice.org BTW, you can eat all you want of some things, like meat, cheese, fish, butter and more. Just cut carbs and vegetable oils.<br /><br />Fr. Rutler was doing great until the crack about "Naked Gun." Now I have to clear a bunch of dung out of my head. It's OK -- it reminds me why I quit going to popular movies. (But I did love Neilsen's line "And don't call me Shirley" - right up there with "Take my wife ... please!") <br /><br />Oh yeah, your article was about Cardinal Sean. How's he doing? Doesn't he have to be back soon to light the menorah and sup a seder?Jerrynoreply@blogger.com
