Julie’s Low Car Diet Update

Hey guys-

The last 2 1/2 weeks sans car have been quite exciting! I’ve got the train schedule down and have been taking the shorter Express morning train, finished 3 books (2 of which have been Chelsea Handler & Tucker Max) and have read the Metro every morning.

Some other highlights include:

Saving money using SEPTA’s Weekly Trailpass
Changing up my gym routine, which allowed me to take the worst spin class. ever.
Burned a few cals as I made my way to the subway
Discovered the disadvantages of using a dentist in the suburbs
Seeing how easy and fun Zipcar is to drive!

Want to see how my journey’s going? Stop by Julie’s Low Car Diet Blog for updates!
