Trudging, I have to agree about how many calories and carbs I was saving, but also the artificial sweeteners I was using in the mixers! I think I've had one or two diet sodas in the last 6 months. I now drink iced tea or yerba mate with just lemon and no sweetener. I still enjoy carbs, i.e. Pasta, fresh baked bread, etc.
I'm going to try and talk the family into going to south beach once they wake up. I like walking amongst the shops on ocean drive and the shopping district with open air eateries on Lincoln drive. It's a lot of fun once up you are able to find parking. It's funny but it gets less crowded in summer.
