Wow. I've done some mental calculations and, guess what? I walk anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes a day, by necessity, in Chicago. I walk from my apartment to the train and back (7 minutes each way) and from the train to class and back (15 minutes each way). If I have to walk between buildings on campus or to downtown Evanston, or if Kelly, Kevin, and I walk to a bar, restaurant, or a movie in the evening, that's extra time. Even a trip to Walgreen's and back adds about 10 minutes to my total.
I now realize why, despite not great eating habits, I haven't gained any weight since moving to Chicago. (Haven't lost any either, which is evidence of my not great eating habits. Ha!)
I LOVE THIS. I mean, sometimes I hate it, like when it's cold or, for that matter, when I have a cold. But, in general, it is absolutely wonderful to have exercise built into my life in this way.
