Cpap Bestie and having a cold

​Last weekend of May was busy. Well all of Maycember was busy. With my birthday starting out in May then kids end of year activities and going to graduation parties. So Monday I woke up with a scratchy throat my energy was good just scratchy. I was able to tape my mouth at night up until Wednesday. Thursday I woke up a bit fatigued but still lifted weights before work and worked. As the day went on I was feeling it. I could not breather out of my nostrils πŸ‘ƒ. Had sinus pressure. So I tried to tape my mouth but I could not breath with the Cpap. So Thursday and Friday night I slept without it and I’m waking up two or three times a night due to desert mouth. I have my water bottle beside me so I have to stop the machine and unhook myself to take a sip. I’m going to rest this weekend. Everyone says I smell like Vicks but I can’t smell it. It was also our 16 th year anniversary yesterday but since I couldn’t smell anything we didn’t do anything 

Beach Getaway with my CPap Bestie

Back to the grind today So it was nice bringing my pillow and cpap bestie to the beach house. But the bed was super soft and my lower back did not like it. I did have a few beers and was curious to see how my stats were. Not posted but I got a sad face on the airless. I didn’t notice a leak. Well to make up for the debauchery I headed to bed and forced myself to sleep kinda and had seven hours and feel pretty good. Tonight I plan to sleep earlier hit 7:30 or 8 hours of sleep is the goal. I need more beach house weekends ​

It’s been awhile

​I have been consistent using my cpap bestie. Life before cpap bestie I’ll say BCP looking back was rough. How did I get through the day through life. More on that later. I have gone through this mouth tape and got a new one. My only complaint is like the last ten left a black sticky residue on my face not huge but I had to scrub hard to take off. I am trying new ones tomorrow.

​ Two apps. So far getting strong with my Cpap Bestie I meet with the educator maybe getting a nasal pillow one and chin strap. I did take off the tape at 5 am and slept with it on for an hour. Mouth was dry like the desert again. I hate that feeling. Wish my mouth just closed

 ​ πŸ—“️ Day 21 πŸ’€ 6 hours 18 minutes ⚡️10 πŸ“‰ Events 0.9 YAY! I am really going to start on getting seven hours of sleep consistently and then eight hours. I felt great today. I was looking at pictures of myself in February I look rough. I took my sixth shot of Zepbound last night. I finally hit my protein macros yesterday. I increased my Magnesium Glycinate to 360 mg last night was taking 240 mg. I'm happy about this. There are times where the mouth tape does make me feel claustrophobic and I try to keep my mental game right in the middle of the night when I wake up because of it. I feel good. Below are the wipes I bought and started using last night. When I put my mask on the nasal part did not smell right. So I let it air dry for a bit. I also do these blogs before bed so that gets into my sleep time. Need to do it first thing in the morning. Weight has dropped a bit. Its leg day today gonna increase the weight on the bulgarian lunges. Right now I'm at 30 pounds for two sets o...
