Gosh, where to start.... it seems forever since i last blogged. We are chilling out on this rainy thursday. went to the gym and the kids did their baby yogafit class. it was fun. i love my community- saw a few new friends at the gym... one girl i hadnt seen in a while- we met two years ago- i crashed their bible school for the week. julia and her daughter maddie became fast friends. i scrapbooked pics of the two of them. so funny, there she was at the gym!! also saw a girl that i met last year when blake and her son were in speech together, and now they are both in Kindergarten. later, at the library, was another little boy, jordan, that is in Kindergarten at Irmo Elem too, and they play soccer where we play soccer!! I know i am being cheesy- but i love my community. always see someone you know at the dry cleaners, bank, grocery store, etc...
I am getting frustrated with my work outs. I have been STEADY taking my thyroid meds for two weeks now, and i want results. the endocrinologist told me it would take a WHILE> i have been working out 4 times a week, doing the circuits, machines, at least 30 min of cardio, and hard classes--Butts and Guts is one of them... I am turning into freaky muscle girl, and not skinny girl like i want!! LOL. my arms and thighs are rocks. NOT the look i am going for... I think i am going to call my friend the nutritionist/dietician. I know it is something with me being a vegetarian, and not getting enough protein. I dont do tofu- it is nasty. nor do i do bulgar wheat products. to me, substituting meat-like products is not an option. no tofu corn dogs or bulgar burgers. i have been trying to do more protein, like a spoonful of peanut butter for breakfast, and maybe tuna for lunch. i also do shrimp, but how much of that can you have? besides, if i think about it too much, i might get grossed out with that and then where would i be?? i was talking to my aunt yesterday, and of course she was full of suggestions, and one of them was "can't you just eat a bit of chicken or maybe a tad of ground round?" UGGGG!! i would be so sick for so long....IF i could choke it down. anyway, enough about that
easter was great!! i want to post some pics, but hello is being dumb!! any other photo hosting sites one might know about?
Terri Shiavo is dead. Such a sad story. Michael Shiavo is a prick. I think he was hiding something. If he didnt care about her , why didnt he sign over the "rights" to her parents?? I know there was no hope , but sheesh, if the mom and dad WANT to care for her, why COULDNT THEY? or why shouldnt they be able to? the news said that the family was prohibited from being with her the last few hours of her life? why???? why do they care?? too much govt involvement. So sad.
Sorry to end on that note, but hope you all have a great night.

I'm with you on Terri Schiavo. I wrote this somewhere else:
Terri Schiavo died this morning. I have so many conflicting emotions about the whole thing. I can't imagine wanting to live like that, but according to her parents she might have been better with therapy, which her husband denied her. He has hooked up with another woman and had children with her. It seems to me that if he was moving on with his life he should let her parents have her back. I can't help but think I still wouldn't want to live like that though. I can understand turning off a respirator, but starving and dehydrating a person for two weeks is cruel. We don't treat our animals like that. We don't treat death row inmates like that. No matter whose shoes I try to put myself in, husband's or parents', I just feel sad. I'm believe she is free of her body and is whole and perfect again with God right now.

Trey and I "discussed" this a lot today. We agree that what he did was heinous and evil. However, what we don't agree on is the whole pull the plug thing. I told him if he pulled it on me I would curse him for life. He would want me to pull it on him, but I refused. I told him someone else would have to do it, b/c I wouldn't. A woman called in to the radio show we were listening to and talked about how she works w/people in vegetative states. This kid was given two months to live, and now, two years later, he is walking, talking, and all that, and will be going home w/in 6 months. All that and he was scheduled to die! Terri's case is much worse, and just...evil! I say, though, that God is the only one who has the right to decide if you die or not. I don't have that power, and I would never even think about deciding it.
Oh, Gina, I think you are looking fantastic! Can't you just take some protein vitamins or something if you need just that? I'm sure they exist.

that is why we all need wills- living wills especially. i would not particularly want to live like that for 15 yrs, but I would want to make the decision, not some court.
i have some protein shake stuff... i will have to look for protein vitamins. thanks c!!
