Resurrection Sunday! It was a good day! We actually went to the service on Saturday night and then I played all the services on Sunday. Our pastors msg was on the GREATNESS of GOD. Not the god of modern day people but on God the Creator, the God of the multiverse. (he said they are now saying multiverse instead of universe because of all the galaxies they have discovered and are continuing to discover) And yet God chose to come to this planet, this teeny tiny planet to become one of us and to die for us so that WE could be with Him forever! The picture on the left is called the Crown of Thorns Galaxy. Psalm 8:3-4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
He also showed these photos of different galaxies. Some have only been discovered in the last few years.
I had never seen these before. The left is called the eye of God and the right is called the X Galaxy but of course it also looks like a cross to me.
We had our Easter dinner at mom and dads. I have not done well the last few days. Didn't track real well and ate way too much junk. Part of my problem was that Alan came home with Krystal hamburgers from Tennessee. Also, ribs from Corkys. I justified everything by telling myself this is a one time deal. And it was but I should have stopped at 2 burgers not 4, of course they were only 4 points each. We did make the WW version of our Lemon pie - it was very good and I only had 1 slice. The mac & cheese that mom made was really good. All in all it wasn't Easter dinner that got me it was Friday and Saturday and the candy.
I have to get right back on track this morning. Scrambled egg and a mini bagel for breakfast. I put all the candy away and I believe I can handle it. I am going back and forth between being encouraged to just let these past few days go AND then feeling really down and hopeless. I need to figure out meals for the week and make sure that I am prepared so that I do well. I feel overwhelmed by the amount of housework I have. I just need to get going and get some things done. I need to figure out what is most important because I only have a short amount of time today.
The big news for me is that I went to buy an Easter outfit and tried on size 14 pants and they were baggy so I apprehensively tried on a 12 and OMG they fit. They were not even too tight! So of course I bought them! This was an extremely good feeling and I want to keep it up. You would think that this would be such an incentive to do well but I feel discouraged about it. I'm thinking, "You've been here before and this is where you feel pretty good and start slacking and next thing you know I've gained all the weight back". I am trying very hard to fight this distructive thinking.
