Not pictured: Turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, rolls, green beans, and more pies & other thanksgiving dishes

RESULTS:

  1. I actually ate more than just one meal on most days because I had the food ready!
  2. I ate healthier
  3. I didn't go to chick-fil-a / cougar eat much - spent less money
  4. I wasted less food - trying to portion
  5. I shared some extra food with friends
  6. I learned some new vegetarian dishes I like!
  7. I cut down on wasteful wrappings - I even bought a lunch box to use instead of a ziploc bag/grocery bag every day!
  8. Meal prepping is awesome & leads to me living my best life :-)

Mosiah - 11/1 - 11/14 11/1: Mosiah 1 : King Benjamin has 3 sons - Mosiah, Helorum, Helaman - and is near death - and gives Mosiah all his kingdom's power 7  And now, my sons, I would that ye should remember to  a search  them diligently, that ye may profit thereby; and I would that ye should  b keep  the commandments of God, that ye may  c prosper  in the land according to the  d promises  which the Lord made unto our fathers. Mosiah 2: King Benjamin gives speech @ temple -- KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS 6  And they pitched their tents round about the temple, every man having his  a tent  with the door thereof towards the temple, 17  And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn  a wisdom ; that ye may learn that when ye are in the  b service  of your  c fellow  beings  ye are only in the service of your God.   18  Behold, ye have called me your king; and if I, whom ye call your king, do labor to   a serve   you, then ought not ye to labor to serve one another? 19

Alma

11/16 Alma 1: read in temple Alma 2: read in temple Alma 3: read in temple 11/17: Alma 4: Year 6 of judged: Peaceful, but sad for lost -- Year 7: baptisms -- Year 8: contention & pride -- Year 9: trying to calm contentions Alma 5: Alma the younger testifies and recounts his father's story - repent! - the holy ghost reveals much - stop being so prideful! 17 Or do ye a imagine to yourselves that ye can lie unto the Lord in that day, and b say —Lord, our works have been righteous works upon the face of the earth—and that he will save you? 18 Or otherwise, can ye imagine yourselves brought before the tribunal of God with your souls filled with guilt and remorse, having a remembrance of all your guilt, yea, a perfect a remembrance of all your wickedness, yea, a remembrance that ye have set at defiance the commandments of God? 19 I say unto you, can ye look up to God at that day with a pure heart and clean hands?

2 Nephi (9/28-10/22)

2 NEPHI 9/28: Chapter 1: 588-570 BC -- Lehi prophesizes of Columbus discovering America; those living in America will be alone forever until they stop believing (-> Columbus); Lehi begs his sons to keep the commandments "23 Awake, my sons; put on the armor of arighteousness. Shake off the bchains with which ye are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust."

I can turn to God and he will help me. I really needed this chapter tonight. 17 Neverthele
