Walking....

So one thing that I started to do more diligently when I set my goal was walking to work. It's about 4.5 miles round trip and takes my commute from 20 minutes to 45 minutes. However, when I started in June it burned another 500 calories! Totally worth it. So as I've lost weight those numbers have gone down (it's now 385 calories) but still an impact. Another bonus of this is my commuting costs have gone down drastically! Now in NY I am spoiled with transportation costs, the most I'd pay is $104 to get an unlimited subway pass. Seriously, everything else is so expensive something should be cheaper! With all my walking, I just calculated (I still am an accountant) that I have spent an average of $35 a month on the subway since November. That includes all transportation, not just commuting. Not too bad! So those cold mornings that I just grit my teeth and walked were worth it for the calories and the cost savings! YAY!!!
