I started this blog over 2 weeks ago, with the hopes of journaling an experiment about giving up my car for 4 months and the impact it will have on my life.
So far, I have had a blast. Let's look at what was and now is:
Before this experiment I drove 90% of everywhere I went, biked 2% and walked 8%.
Since starting, the numbers now look like this:
Drive - 5%
Bike - 55% (hmm, could this be why my jeans are tight on my thighs, could I be developing some muscle I didn't have?)
Walk - 30%
Bus - 10%
In addition to naturally burning more calories because of the change, I notice I am eating more as well. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, we'll have to wait and see on that topic.
Also, if you have been following, you have read the stories of how I have enjoyed this great experience so far. The people I have met, the much needed reflection time, getting to know my city better. So far, it has been a true blessing. Will I be saying that on Thursday when I have to turn the car in? Who knows, but I am hopeful.
Again, thanks for following.
