Battle!


Yesterday began a new battle. Me against the machine....my worthy opponent is shown left. I am back in the battlezone...I have at least 40 more pounds to lose and darn it....I am going to do this! I am not ready to throw in the towel here! I tried on clothes Saturday and got into size 16 jeans!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO! I have been famished so this is very hard to get back on the horse (or elliptical lol) Sometimes you find inspiration in the strangest places but the following is a song for motivation...I have been working out to it for all these months and just love the words for my life. It had a part in my decision to change my life so I need it now to inspire me again!


There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste

I haven't got much time to waste
It's time to make my way
I'm not afraid of what I'kll face
But I'm afraid to stay
I'm going down my own road and I can make it alone
All work and no fighting
I'll find a place on my own

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hand
get ready to jump

We learned our lesson from the start
My sisters and me
The only thing you can depend on
is your family
Life's gonna drop you down like a limb from a tree
It sways and it swings and in bends until it makes you see

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hand
get ready to jump

Are you ready?

There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that you wait
the more time that you waste

All work and no fighting
I'll find a place of my own

It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own

I can make it alone

Are you ready to jump?
