5 Minus 1

11/13/2011

Take Back Your Health. Take Back the Love [of yourself]. Our church has started a new challenge program combining the Take Back Tour ministry, the Adventist In Step for Life campaign and Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign to improve child health and reduce obesity. The children in our lives, whether they are our own, relatives or friends, closely observe how we approach our health. They notice the steps we take to improve our health. They listen to our comments about our bodies, our food choices, our activity choices. Our church has just initiated an incentive program called Take Back 5 Minus 1. Take Back 5 Minus 1 is simple. Take back physical activity, 5 combined servings of fruits and vegetables and reduce (minus) at least 1 junk/fake food item per day. The fake food items includes all artificially sweetened  or artificially colored candy, beverages, chewing gum, food. Use the calendar found in the Brochures section to chart your success. Use these tools to create a friendly competition at church, at work or in your family for the person that makes the greatest improvements in either activity or fruit and vegetable intake or reducing the fake food in their lives. I have also included a calendar for November and December I created to help you track these changes and examples of fruit and vegetable serving sizes adapted from the www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org. I would love any feedback on the calendar tools and any suggestions for improvement for 2012.

Don’t forget to Take Back the Love and share it with others.

What's in Your Donation Box: 2011

11/13/2011

Hello Friends,
Early in the Take Back Tour ministry, I wrote an article called What’s In Your Donation Box (http://www.thetakebacktour.com/uploads/2/1/3/8/2138124/whats_in_your_donation_box_2007.pdf). The main point was and still is that healthy food that tastes good should be part of every church pantry or donation center. It should also be part of every donation we make to any organization collecting food to help others.  Just because some one needs some assistance, does not mean they deserve unhealthy food.  See the article for suggested healthy items and brand that are Y.A.A.H ( Yummy-Affordable-Available-Healthy). Buy 1 for yourself and 1 to donate and improve the health of your pantry as well. Pick an item or 2 when on sale. Stay tuned for sales, coupons and deals. Here are some recent deals I have recently observed to help improve the health of not only your pantry, but improve the quality of the donations you share with others.

We all remember the words of Acts 20:35:  I have shewed you all things, ... remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. But let’s not forget the words of Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Remember to share goodness and not keep it to yourself. Give love and health and reap the blessings of love and health. As always SHARE-SHARE-SHARE.
