Minus 150 Days - Eat Less. Move More.

My insurance agent squirmed when he delivered a copy of my new longterm care policy. Slightly stuttering, he said, "I'm sorry I wasn't able to get the preferred rate I quoted you."

"Anything wrong?" I asked, secretly dreading what I knew was coming.

He slid the paper toward me, using that silent technique salesmen hope will make it better if they don't have to say it outloud.

One word: WEIGHT.

After I shared the story with my sister in Atlanta, she suggested since we've all decided to eat less and move more these days, we could form a Family FUNactics Club, with our first objective to build "future firm figures!"

"The good news is," she encouraged, "this is something you can really do something about!" (That's what I love about my sister!)

If you're interested in charting progress with us, here's the form we used. I guess we'll update it every week or so during our 150-day start to a new lifestyle, despite the fact one of my friends says when you exercise, fat itches!

Whadya say, Santa?

P.S. That's our grandson, Connor on his knee!
