Lately, I have been so good sticking to my diet, that’s why I was so sad, so deflated, so beaten down, when I entered my daily calories and came up one stinking calorie short.

There it was, all black, white, and especially red.  One calorie short.

No!  I have come too far.  Tried too hard.  I would not lose this way.

With my kids watching in stunned support, I stood up from the kitchen table and did sixty jumping jacks.

There!  That should do it!  Entering my minute of jumping jacks equaled ten calories, putting me nine calories into the black!

Slam dunk, boys!  Diet touchdown pass!
