RELIEF

So I missed bootcamp last night because I was at a stupid meeting at work that ran so late, I couldn't make it : /  LAME!
I did go to spinning tonight, and I worked hard.  My body has been really aching lately.  Mostly in my joints and feet which has me a little worried.  I'm thinking I should make an appointment with my doctor.  I want to say it was my old shoes, but wrists and hands have been in a lot of pain too...DOUBLE LAME!
On to the best news EVER, the lead up is something I haven't mentioned all week because I was afraid if I said something, I'd jinx it or something...
My nephew who is surviving cancer, just recently started his recovery process.  He went through a year of brutal Chemo and Radiation, a bone marrow transplant, operations to remove tumors, and anti-body treatments.  (he had nueroblastoma, a form of bone marrow cancer) This little man, all of 7 years old, has been through the ringer.  Anyway, last Friday he was showing symptoms that the cancer had returned.  Primarily, some lesions on his legs, and he was limping.  Which were the first signs before he was diagnosed.  We were praying, hoping, wishing, praying, praying, praying, that his test results would come up negative...AND THEY DID!  After his results came back, of course my sister in law was relieved to the point of some serious emotional tears, and that's when my niece decided she had a confession to make...
My nephew made her promise not to tell mom...They were outside playing, rough housing around with the dog, the dog had a big stick and accidentally close-lined my nephew.  He was so afraid to be in trouble, and more importantly to have his bff (the dog) get in trouble, he made his sister promise not to tell...so his limping and leg injuries, were caused by being a kid, not cancer.

OH MY LORD!!  I feel like a weight has lifted off of me and I can let go of some massive stress I was carrying around.  And can't stop getting weepy every five minutes today.

anyway, that's all for me tonight, I tried to focus on myself through fitness this week, because it keeps me sane, but food, well, it's still the thing I turn to when I'm sad.  I will conquer this.  I WILL.

xoxo Ladies.  Love you all to bits!
