"I said it doesn't matter where I go I am Calling all the prophets into battle I am Never going to change who I am I won't Bend under the pressure when my back's on the ropes I said it doesn't matter where I go I am Staring down the barrel of a gun we are Shouting to the world let them know that we are Not afraid to step into the fight When you can't see the light" 9 years ago when I first started down this path, I had no idea where it would lead. I just knew I had to take those steps into the unknown and not be afraid. I knew this was the fight for my life and I had to succeed. I never dreamed I would end up at my ideal weight in the best shape of my life, I just knew anything had to be better than where I was starting. Now, I'm starting a new chapter in my path and must once again take steps into the unknown. Thursday I was formally diagnosed with high blood pressure, which I knew was coming after bouts of it with both pregnancies. I also found out I have a slight arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation)--the same condition my dad had. While I know how it ended for him, I know my path is different and my own to face. I am forever thankful that 9 years ago I took those first steps. Now I can take these next steps in the next fight for my life. We can't change the hand we are dealt, but we can always play our hand to the best of our ability. I can't outrun my genetics, but I can promise that if I go down, it'll be swinging! #weightloss #motivation #goals #transformation #transformationeveryday #halfmysize #dontevenrecognizemyself #200poundclub #200poundslost #neverquit #worthit #instafit #fitfam #happy #fitness #walk #redhead #fosterthepeople #lyrics #doingitforthemoney #readyforthefight
