All Done

I went in for my second sleep study thing last night. This time however, I had to wear one of those masks. When Michelle, my tech, told me I would be wearing one, I had images of one of those masks you see pilots wearing. It really wasn't anything like that as those masks are for people with severe cases of apnea, and Michelle said mine was mild, at worst.

We tried on a few masks and finally found one that was comfortable. It was sort of weird as the mask pushes air in. If you open your mouth, there's a mild suffocating feeling as the air rushes out.

Even with all the wires and mask, I slept pretty good. I don't know if it was because of the mask because they say it takes about 2 weeks to really feel the effects, but she said I was dreaming good and all that other stuff so we'll see

I'll have the results in a few weeks. I didn't get any video this time as I just wanted to get the hell out of there. I did weigh in at 239 at the office, which was 8lbs down since the last time I was there. My scale says 236, but whatever. It's good to see the results of my hard work paying off!

2nd Sleep Study

I had written some harsh words in a post I had up for awhile today. I have decided that it's not in anyone best interests to carry on with my dislike of things, so I have removed it. This is supposed to be a positive experience, and I will keep it as such. I doubt anyone reads this anyways! :-)

I have to go in for my 2nd sleep study. They hook you all up with wires and then they tell you to go to sleep. Sure.

I'll try and get some video of the before and after of it all and post when I get home in the morning. I won't have results for a long time so when I get em, you'll get 'em and I'll remind everyone on why sleep is so important to losing weight, which is why I mention this at all.

Talk to you all in the morning.
