Yay! Got my CPAP yesterday, and used it all night. I've waited over a year of going through hoops to get it. Life is good now!

I'm off to get my annual well woman check-up, then to my WW meeting. Looks like I am doing WW on my own. My Ogre (DH) is dodging me about WW. He will change his mind when he can see the weight coming off of me. Hee! Hee!

So lets see, I now have lost over 10 lbs, have my comfy new bed, going to my first WW meeting, and have my long needed CPAP so that I can start sleeping like a normal person should so that I can function and live life like I deserve. Life is good! I think I'm going to get a manicure if I can squeeze it in today! (I am an hr from the dr, and WW is next town over, as it is the closest location to me, which is 45 mins away.)

I hope all of you are having a great day!

PS Today it is raining in sunny Northern Central California.

Wow, impressive!! You are accomplishing so much...you deserve that manicure!!! You will feel so much better with your CPAP. I have had mine since March '07. They aren't exactly sexy, but don't put it on until you are for sure sleepy! :) A pointer for your CPAP...pack one or two extension cords in your case for when you do overnighters somewhere. They will be a necessity! Enjoy your day and new-found feelings of goodness!

Good advice Alwayspretty. My hubs always packs a cord to carry when we travel. Never know how conveniently electrical receptacles are located in hotel rooms. Hope you got that mani Cheryl! I got one for myself today after all the sweating I've been doing lately! Felt I deserved to sit back and get pampered a little!

hi Cheryl!! So happy that you FINALLY got your CPAP machine. I don't use one but I have friends who do and they said that it makes a huge difference in their sleep and their lives in general. Congratulations on all the positive changes that you are making in your LIFE! Ellie

Alwayspretty, Oh thank you so much for the CPAP pointers. I will be doing a trip to Southern CA soon. I will pack an extra extension cord. Again, thanks for checking in on me!

BeckyBaby, I didn't make it to get my mani, but will do this weekend. I ended up making a trip into COSTCO for vitamins and sofa pillows though! :)

Bren, That is so terrific that your husband has joined you on WW. I hope mine will too, I think he is just a little scared because he is on a lot of meds for high blood pressure and his hear (but all the more reason to do WW right?). His doctor will walk him through things so he feels comfortable. Ughhh... I didn't make it to get my mani. I ran out of time so I'm doing it this weekend. I'll try and take a pic! :)

Ellie, Thanks! I'm still doing the happy dance over having my CPAP! I am told by pulmonology that people go years and years with sleep apnea and don't even know they have it. I've already noticed that I don't have a headache when I wake up in the morning. Yes, life is good!

Skinny, Thanks - I still need to treat myself to the manicure! I'm planning for this weekend to pamper myself. :)

Hey girl..just fix him what you eat at supper and he will enjoy it..my DH fixes his own stirfry vegetalbes as he know they are free...My DH is on highblood pressure meds as well and lipitor..he hasn't fussed much about this way of eating..I even fixed us a banana split one evening with a little cup of icecream 1/2 banana and couple of cherries..it was good..Enjoy figuring out the points..:O)
