Day 1 – the doing

Posted in commitment, dailies on Jul 24, 2008

I wrote this morning about being impressed by an assertion made by David McCullough. The assertion: excelling is possible only through the doing of the thing. It doesn’t matter what it is. Having head knowledge amounts to next to nothing if it lacks application… the doing.

I’m guilty as charged of researching, learning, and knowing a lot about health, nutrition and fitness… all without the doing. Well, that’s not entirely true. Our eating habits are healthier than they used to be a few years back. Any and every bit of change toward health we make is monumental. Our bodies will take each and every scrap of healthiness we give them. Truly, our bodies are inventive and ingenious with how well they keep working even when we don’t give them the building tools they need to do their jobs right. Our bodies are amazing Imagine then if we keep adding incrementally to those changes until they turn into a lifestyle. The gains we will experience are, I’m betting, unimaginable.

This marks Day 1 for me. Here’s where I begin the journey of chronicling what it takes for me, an internet junkie, a mom, wife and friend, to create a new life. I have so much knowledge to share and I will. But more importantly, it’s the doing that I do that I’m most looking forward to.
