Things definitely became more challenging as the week reached a close. While nothing completely turned me off of this diet and I’m not giving up the challenge, I discovered some ugly realities about Atlanta’s air quality.
I discovered what code orange www.AirNow.gov really means to pedestrians. I’ve been sheltered far too long in my air-conditioned Jetta Station Wagon.
At one point, I thought I was going to choke on bad air. My lungs literally stung when I breathed in the not-so-fresh-air while walking back to the Midtown MARTA station late in the afternoon rush. The stagnant air was drenching to boot. Luckily, by the time I arrived back to Decatur, the fumes were much less overwhelming. Also, lucky for me – my husband picked up our daughter from daycare.
