Lazy is Out, Thin is In

I decided to register for the Utah Clear the Air Challenge. The idea is to drive less and drive smarter. Fantastic because guess who hates to drive? Yup. Like I always say, “I don’t drive, I’m driven.”
This challenge is perfect for me right now because my car has been acting like a little bitch lately. First demanding a new water pump and now insisting on new spark plug wires. Also my jeans have been a little too tight lately and I could definitely stand to lose a few pounds. Walking two miles to work a couple times a week is just the thing I need.
I care about the air quality, but even more I care about being fat. It’s so on. Who’s in?

It was really a nice feeling the few mornings I’ve walked downtown to pick up my car after a night of drinking. I so wish I didn’t need my car to do my job.
I’m in! I’m reinstating my “No Drive Sundays” Well, except for this Sunday but I’m definitely walking more. My fat ass thanks me.
Ian convinced me that I needed to buy new spark plug wires for my car, and that of course he’d change them for me. $45 and 2 years later, they are still in my trunk, he hasn’t gotten around to changing them, and my car has yet to explode.
I’m i…except I can’t help keep Utah air clean. I’ll do my best in SD.
I’m in! On not being fat. I can’t really stop driving to work everyday but I’ve started taking the stairs where ever I go. That helps the air right?
i’m in… I have not driven a car in 3 weeks! I can handle this! I liked walking to school with you anyways
If I say I’m going green, well you know what I mean.
I’m in! But sadly, it’s 10 miles to work, so walking is kind of out. My bike got stolen out of my garage a while back, and I haven’t been able to replace it. Mostly because I won’t buy a cheap-o Wal-Mart bike. But, I’m going to start walking to the grocery when I can and seeing how inventive I can get with driving.
Oooooh, no weekend post. Someone had a busy one, eh?? Looking forward to Mondays post! ^_^
If only I didn’t work over 20 miles from my home. But just for you, the next time I need to get groceries, I’m taking Lauren’s wagon and walking there instead of driving!! That’s good enough, right?
I’ve been staring at the flat tires on my bike for weeks now. I’ll get her out & duded up this weekend and ride to work one day next week. Lucky me, that last quarter mile to home is up a steep hill. That’ll make for a great ride home. Blech.
