Madamekelly, I will give that a try. This is my granddaughter. I have another friend whose granddaughter holds her breath. I'll tell her your suggestion too.
Pat, sorry to hear your last week of summer vacation is so hectic and stressful. Hopefully you can get a sewing day in tomorrow.

My DS used to hold his breath when he was little. He would hold it until he passed out. It started happening when he fell and got hurt. He kept doing it more and more often. He was about 2 when he started it. I of course called the pediatrician and they said it was fine as long as he wasn't going in to a convulsion. Eventually he started doing it when he got yelled out. Dr said it was for attention and to ignore it. He did this for about 6 months. I was never really convinced that it was really ok until he did it in front of the Dr when he got a shot. The Dr's only comment was we have a stubborn one here.

Well, here it is. Almost the end of August and I haven't done anything to lose weight. I'm sorry I haven't been posting. Just too much going on. Finally got all our insurance money to fix damages from storm. The total damage was almost $9000.00! We now have a new roof on our house and on our shed, a new awning over our patio, money to fix our riding mower,(it was under the awning that the tree fell on), and money to fix our chain link fence and double gate. It's been a different kind of summer all right. Last week the temperature must have remembered it was August because it has gotten HOT!!! I plan on being in the September weight loss challenge and am determined to really try. Hope you've all had a great month.

Pam H - we have been on a gelato kick. It is so good and creamy - we can't stop. I now limit myself to 6 spoonfuls (small spoons) and that is it. A friend lost 60 lbs since Jan. mainly counting calories and eating off a very small plate. Only exercised on weekends. Why oh why didn't I start with her? out to lunch with the girls today - will just get a salad with dressing on the side. Only one more week to countdown and I know I did not do good. But, I will persevere.

I should try gelato. There must be less fat than ice cream but how does it compare in calories?
This morning I made a big breakfast for my daughter and her French boyfriend. We had peaches, cantaloupe, French toast and sausage. I wanted his first American breakfast to be a good one. I bought a light syrup that has only half the calories of regular and it tasted fine and was plenty sweet. Tomorrow will probably be fruit and yogurt - my typical breakfast.
I have been doing great with my activity lately without even doing any exercise. I have just been doing so much picking up and cleaning that it is really adding up. I would like to go for a walk but it is already 75 and very humid. Today is our last hot day and then it should be in the 70's for a while.
This month has not been good for weight loss for me. I gained right at the beginning of the month and have yet to lose that. I'll be happy if I am the same as I started.

Cindy, thanks for the info, had a look and figured it was too much for me right now since I've just about gotten out of my QS, quilting slump. I've been working on a top with the flowered fabric I won in June, can't wait to post it when I finish it. Y'all will have to walk me through posting a pic at that time, I've tried in the past with no luck.

Pat, looks like you are a busy lady these days, slow down and take a breath, easier said than done, I know. (((((HUGS)))))

I start back to school tomorrow. The weather has turned really hot just in time for it. It is going up to 93 tomorrow with really high humidity. It is supposed to feel like 100 to 105. It will be awful in the classroom and out at recess with no air conditioning. The people in the board office tell us it isnt that bad as they sit in their AC.
I have my 2 grandsons here today. They are so cute. The younger one is 16 months and quite the character. He is eating an apple piece and has dropped it at least 10 times. He just keeps picking it back up and saying Uh Oh!. Now he has grandpas reading glasses on. He is acting weird, I guess because he can't see.

I started back today and left feeling like I'd been hit by a truck. Moving furniture, cleaning, and unpacking boxes all day. I headed straight to yoga and feel so much better. I think I can make it until bedtime before I keel over.
