Cantousent Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 People who are obese have a higher chance of snoring but it's by far not the only reason. I sound like a lawnmower because of my deviated septum. My snoring has gotten much better since I've lost weight. I know it's not the only reason, but it sure stacks the deck against you. It's been ten months since I started getting my life back in order, and I've lost in excess of 130lbs according to the scales at the doctor's office. Today, I went to the Hometown Buffet and I didn't even feel tempted to gorge myself. My waist size is 14 inches smaller than it was in February. However, I will observe that taking pride in losing a ton of weight is kind of like the doctor who shoots himself in the foot and feels pride at removing the bullet and stitching up the wound. I do feel a little pride, but I also keep it in perspective. ...And, if it says something good about me that I've lost the weight, I sure as hell don't want to prove it again, so my plan has been to get closer and closer to a maintenance schedule until I'm at the weight I want to be and then to be vigilant about keeping a healthy lifestyle. I haven't gone on any special diets or had surgery or anything, but I have had some great help from supportive friends, including a certain dragon. 4 Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

LadyCrimson Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 It's fun when the power goes out late evening, meaning you have no internet for half a day. No idea why, either...wasn't rainy/stormy. Also, it's fun when the streetlight on your block is out, so you know all your neighbors are without power too, but when you look over the rooftops, 5 blocks away people/business seem to have power over there. We're on a tiny grid or something. I'm California-cold, mostly because I'm sitting in a non-heated room, blanket wrapped and likely soon going to bed where it's warm. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Discovered that I snore like an old grizzly, woke up from it. I thought one of the main reasons of snoring is obesity? If you think it's been like that a long time and you just never knew it before, might want to check for sleep apnea. Hubby has that and wakes himself up all the time, among other things. I can hear him snoring sometimes, through 2 walls. I occasionally sleep in another room. He recently tried to get a line on the newer cPap's that are supposedly quieter/more comfy and don't require doctor-supervisied adjustment (the one he got years ago didn't do much for him at all), but he hasn't followed up on it yet. “Things are as they are.

Woldan Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I don't know what happened, I know I never snored before because I wake up from the slightest noise. And now suddenly even though nothings changed I make sounds like an old battered diesel when I fall asleep. I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Blarghagh Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Could be anything. A massive sneeze could have dislodged some old mucus and move it just into the right spot. Did you drink anything?

ManifestedISO Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I know the depths of winter always mess with my bio-oxygen intake/exhaust mechanism.

Guard Dog Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Today I split firewood, changed the oil in my truck, walked down to the river and just watched it roll by for about 45 minutes. Then watched football and made bbq chicken on the grill for dinner.

Enoch Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Did the X-Mas trip to see family from Tues-Sat this past week. On even-numbered years, it's my family, most of whom are about 200 miles away. (The wife's family was way off in Cali, but her parents recently moved to a town 40 miles up the interstate.) Given that this is the first year with the youngin' (10 months old on Christmas Day), we did the driving in the evenings, so that he would be asleep for the trip and not throw off his overall sleeping and eating schedules. (He usually sleeps from 7PM to around 5AM, give or take, although he's often been waking up and wanting a bonus bottle sometime in the middle of the night ever since he went through a stomach virus 2 weeks back.) The baby did great, as he hasn't yet developed a fear of strangers and is mostly cheerful if he isn't ill or overly hungry or tired. Family members gave him gifts, some of which included tissue paper in the wrapping, which is officially now his Most Favoritest Thing Ever. The little guy also appears to be coming around on the whole "eating more actual food" thing. While at my parents' house, I offered him a taste of a Manhattan clam chowder that my mother had made, and he really seemed to like it. We didn't feed him a whole lot of the stuff, though, as it was the first tomato-based (i.e.,relatively acidic) food he's taken in volume, and it was the first shellfish he'd eaten, so we wanted to be careful in case he had an allergy. Today was the standard post-travel day of unpacking, grocery shopping, and laundry. After the soup success while away, I decided to make a soup of my own. Mostly potatoes and carrots in chicken-based stock (with a base of onion, celery, and garlic sweated in bacon fat and seasoned with black and red pepper), simmered with bay and parsely and pureed lightly. For adult consumption, this is topped with cheddar and chive, but the baby has had issues with dairy, so I'll be leaving that off when I let him try it. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to finish it until after his bedtime. The wife and I liked it-- we'll see about the youngin' tomorrow.

ShadySands Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Could use an update on the 2-Series, there, Denver. It's been a month. Can't just get a superfly sled and sit on it. I actually haven't driven it yet :\ My wife loves it though. She's pretty much sold on BMWs now and hasn't driven the other car since we got it which is fine by me because I don't drive very much and she's stuck with the daily commute. She wants to go out to the track and race me but I have no desire to do that because 1) I don't think a Q50 has much of a chance against an M235 and 2) I really have no desire to do that:) Seriously, and I'm being honest here, I've never been much into cars* and I don't hear the call of the race and have no need for speed which puts me a bit at odds with her as she thinks she's Schumacher's daughter or something Also, I'd probably die or lose then die or win then die and that's not how I die *I like cars but I would rather collect them and tinker a bit (I've restored and sold a couple) than race them. 2 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
