Seeing Results from the Car-Free Diet
I used to drive to work every single day. Then I woke up one day and decided to give up driving and take public transportation instead. My decision was prompted by Walter Tejada's message on the Car-Free Diet, by Arlington County Government's openess in including in the budget proposals spring 2008, additional bus service on the bus line I ride, and by my desire to lose weight.
To get to my bus stop, I walk 1.4 miles each way. I've combined walking and transit as a way to reduce my carbon footprint. In the process, I have saved money on gas, parking, car maintenance and improved my health -- dropped 2 dress sizes since late February 2008.

What a great blog! Do you also follow a healthier diet, or do you think it's mainly the increased exercise that has resulted in your improved health?
