Healthy Tuna

I don't know about you but when I heard Jimmy say that regular canned tuna was loaded with mercury
(which of course it turns out to be true) I was bummed.  Seriously, no more tuna melts?

After doing some research it looks like there is a company that sells low mercury tuna that is wild caught. It's called Wild Planet.  The problem of course is that it's (cue the broken record) more expensive; however, Amazon sells it in bulk for a fairly reasonable price (around $2.50/can).  Check it out here>>

I Choose to Be Well Today

We are so blessed to live in an era where we have endless access to
information that has the potential to dramatically improve the quality of our lives.  However, as we all know the key to living a fit and healthy life goes deeper than just accessing information.  It involves accountability and support to actually make healthy choices each day.  It is our hope that this blog will provide a source of both information AND motivation for each of us as we seek to honor God with our bodies.

So how will this work?
Each person who chooses to participate will be assigned a week or two throughout the year where you can post a topic, story, idea, recipe, book/video review, article etc. that you think others would benefit from reading.  We can then all comment on your post as a way to interact around the topic.

Do I have to Post?
No, but then both you and the rest of us miss out on what the Lord is teaching YOU!

What if I have nothing meaningful to Say?
To quote our friend Matthew West:
"You’ve got something to say
If you’re living, if you’re breathing

You’ve got something to say
You know if you’re heart is beating
You’ve got something to say
And no one can say it like you do
God is love and love speaks through
You got it, you got it
You’ve got something to say"

Let's get posting!
