Grand Master Mystic asked:


I am the sacristan at my church. My job is to set up for Mass (church service) each Sunday. Well, this coming Sunday is Easter Sunday and we will have one more Mass, but I will have less time to set up.

Here is the schedule:
I arrive 6:30 AM
Mass at 7:30 AM – 8:30 AM
I have 30 minutes to set up.
Mass at 9:00 – 10:00 AM
I have 30 minutes to set up.
Mass at 10:30-11:30 AM
I have 30 minutes to set up.
Mass at Noon – 1:00 PM.

Normally I have one hour to set up. It takes about 10-20 minutes to set up and for Easter, MANY times do the Masses go over about 5-10 minutes.

Three of the Masses I have to altar server and one I have to give out communion. I will have 0 breaks during and between the Masses.

Here comes my question, is there any HEALTHY drinks and/or food I can eat while I set up for Mass?

I can’t eat meals or anything messy (no chips, etc) during the Masses so I was thinking if anyone knows of any granola bars that can give me enough energy to survive (LOL) and how often I should eat the granola bars. Also, anyone know any drinks that can also give me energy?

This is a serious question because I don’t want to buy and energy drinks or that 5 hour energy boost thing that is unhealthy.

Does anyone have any ideas?

If you need me to elaborate on anything, I will be here for a while.

Thanks all!

I want to lose weight and just get healthier all-together. I’m in college, and eat tons of junk. I stuff myself with pizza, chips, beer and pop, and it feels good at the time. But the next day I feel bloated and disgusting.

What are some guidelines to follow eating healthier? I know I’ll never get all the servings I’m supposed to and eliminate all the bad things, I just want to eat better.

Thanks.
