Grinding:
I've used several OTC mouthguards. Started with what looked like a sports mouthpiece then moved to a minimalist approach. All worked; however, all were a pain in the butt and they were gross sitting by the bed full of spit or dust. I now only use them for a few nights when I notice a grinding or snoring trend. (Typically when I'm working a large renegotiation at work...)

Losing weight: Get the Apple Watch 2. I'm not kidding here. It has fitness and movement trackers that motivate you to move. I'm still working in a desk job; not retired yet. My watch tells me to get my ass up if I've been sitting more than an hour. The Watch 2 is waterproof and has a heartrate monitor. I use the HR monitor on the treadmill at the gym. I walk/run and compare my daily heartrate at a given pace to see if I'm gaining fitness. It also holds like 350 songs. No more carrying my phone around while working out. I love this device. Its motivated me to change my life. I'm now going to Planet Fitness nearly every day of the week.

Fugal tip: When you buy the Watch 2, just buy the lowest cost watch they offer. The bands they offer at Apple can affect the price. Don't buy the watch for the band, buy the watch for the watch. Then when you get the cheapest one, upgrade the band using Amazon or some other mailorder company.

This is the 3 month report of DW's sleep Apnea issue:

She decided to get the special dental month guard from her dentist. After a few painful nights, and a couple of visits for adjustment, she has soon gotten used to the device. I downloaded a SnoreClock app onto her cellphone. It can record the whole night of sleep.

She scheduled a recurring appointment with the Dr's nutritionist, and she was put on a strict 1300 calorie daily diet with 5 small meals each day. She is also told to walk 10,000 steps daily. The goal is to lose 15 pounds. So, I helped to prepare her meals, and got 2 fitbit devices for us, and walked with her daily for 10,000 steps. It takes 1.5 hrs each day.

I am happy to report that she has now lost exactly 15 pounds by doing the above. We are checking the app recording, and do not hear snore anymore. I think she has done a great improvement.

I think we will give her a treat for a big meal on Mother's day.
