I am quite tired today. It could be because I wake up so
many times during the night from sleep apnea. I knew I had it, but the doctor
confirmed today with a phone call. She said that at some points during the night,
I only have 45% oxygen. That definitely explains why I am so extremely
exhausted all the time. It is difficult to think or stay awake sometimes. I
have actually fallen asleep on the toilet more times than I can count. Once was
for at least 45 minutes!
It’s a good
thing I am actually doing something about it now. One week down and a lifetime
to go. I am struggling today with being happy about the changes to my diet. I
like to look forward to my meals and today I simply could not be content eating
a salad. Hopefully, my taste buds will change and I will crave vegetables one
day. I have been weighing and measuring everything and that helps. It is not
bothersome thus far. I just know that I feel lighter and less swollen. That is
good enough reason to not give up this time. I know I am fatigued and fuzzy,
but the CPAP machine should rectify that. More oxygen at night means more
sleep. More sleep means more energy during the day. More energy means more
gumption on my part because I will actually FEEL like doing extra.
