For those of you looking to cut out sugar, I BEG you, please, please, PLEASE avoid Aspartame... it's fucking poison (and only one of MANY that the FDA turns a blind eye to in deference to the petro-chemical cartel and all their money).

Once again - you are SO right Rox. Aspartame is poison. We've been using Splenda and Stevia since we started low-carbing and I tell you, I like the Splenda better. Not sure what affects it will found to have in the future, but right now I like it because it is actually MADE from sugar - and that's as close to natural as I can get without it actually being sugar.
Stevia is an interesting thing - actually a sweet herb (not that kind) that is awesome in cooking and baking.
Learning LOTS with low-carb - it's funny how we ALL turn a blind eye to things that our gut tells us is just bad.
And KK - you are dead on too. Swimming is THE best. Unfortunately even in the CA desert it's damned cold right now. Project for next year - get a heater in the damn pool. In the summer the pool gets too hot (the water temp was 100 when it was 120 outside) so I felt funny getting a heater, but I really miss the swimming.
