I have some better pics I'll throw up later, that one was literally taken from across the street. I kinda thought the same, but she's pretty dang long.

Well, for any of you that care to know, here's another update
Tomorrow marks week 17 since jumping back on the "lose weight & get healthier" bandwagon.
I'm down 60 lbs. Loss rate has definitely slowed, however, 60 in 17 weeks ain't too bad.
The APAP usage is definitely taking effect now. I'm sleeping very well, feel rested throughout day and just have a clearer head.
It's hard to explain exactly, especially since I was fighting the whole sleep apnea thing in the beginning, it appears that dealing with it head on, not only through positive air pressure being administered through the mask while sleeping, but taking other measures via diet and exercise, is definitely working.
As I've noted previously, my blood pressure has completely normalized. Shortness of breath while walking just a short distance from the truck to an office, etc, is beginning to minimize.
I've noticed that instead looking for the closest spot to park in order to access a place, I'm now anticipating and enjoying parking farther away so I can get in some good walking.
Other than that, hope ya'll have a nice weekend!Last edited: Aug 12, 2018

I will say this. I have a HUGE incentive to get in better shape and stay in shape, my livelihood depends on it!
Specifically, the emphasis some DOT certifying physicians are placing on the subject of sleep apnea.
I fought it and lost. In the end run, it could end up being the event that changes and extends my life.
