I may not have mentioned the results of the sleep study I went on last week. Here they are:
HOLY CRAP
ahem.
Evidently I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. I go back for the follow-up March 18th, where they do the same thing as the first one (I presume) with the wires and the ick, and add a mask that will add pressure to my system to keep my airway unobstructed, so I actually get to sleep.
My plan:
Get good sleep for the first time in like 20 years.
Wake up at 7:30 instead of 9:30.
Exercise in the morning. Stretch a lot, do as many sit ups, push ups, bends, etc as I can, then a little jogging in place to get the heart rate up a little.
Get to work by 9ish.
Leave work at 5:45-6, leaving an hour or so for lunch. This will enable me to nearly double my time at the office, which, since I get paid on an hourly basis, will help the paycheck some.
During the summer, swim every day I have access to the pool (depends on weather and swimteam) for half an hour as hard as I can.
During the summer, 2 soccer events every week (Friday is either practice with the Kileys or actual games at a facility close to me, Sunday is games with the Kileys)
During the winter, 1 soccer event every week (the facility close to me has an adult league, y’see)
Hopefully, this will end up with me losing 50 pounds by the end of September. Likely will be much less of a loss. But my goal is to hit 180, where I’m currently hovering around 235-240.
