Over the holidays I was sort-of kidding about "getting in shape"* for this silly cruise my in-laws are taking us on and my brother-in-law** said I could do Atkins, but he doubted I could stick to it. Then it became "you cannot stick to it" and "I will give up Bacardi for two weeks if you can stick to Atkins for two weeks." I took the dare.
*I am neither overweight nor out of shape, though I am closer to Drew Barrymore than Lara Flynn Boyle. My dislike of butter and meat and basically everything else Atkins is well-known.
**My brother-in-law smokes a pack a day and drinks two family size bottles of Bacardi per non-celebratory week. I've seen him go through a family size Bacardi in an evening (starting around 4:30 p.m. and going until 5:30 a.m.).
