Atkins update: Leaping off the wagon

Part reward, part motivation -- we ate a regular meal out last night.

Proof that learned behaviors die hard, I took a big swig of the Coke when it came, and got a major head rush. We had chips and salsa, and I had french fries AND KETCHUP. Those Heinz people know what they're doing.

The surprise was the tremendous corn on the cob. I was raised eating fresh Ohio corn and visiting the Millersport Sweet Corn Festival every year, but this was the best single ear of corn I've ever had.

Today, it's back on the program.
