Building a Better Bif

My name is Troy but you can call me Bif.
Have you ever just wanted to reinvent yourself? Have you ever felt like your life has gotten off track? Or feel like your batteries are drained, and you need a jump-start?
That's how I feel.
I need a change.
I need to focus a little more on me and get myself back on track. It's time to start... and finish... some Bif Improvement Projects.

Maybe I over-reacted?

I've been obsessing a little today on the diabetes thing. It's gotten me all bent out of shape and I feel like running away. So I've done some reading and some introspection and I think I may have over-reacted a little. Not that I shouldn't take all this very seriously, but I think I can manage this and it's NOT necessarily a death sentence nor a diagnosis of diabetes.

I think this is me... Idiopathic postprandial syndrome.

Basically, it's hypoglycemia-like symptoms without all the major issues (which is most likely why my doctor was not too worried about it.) It can be fairly easily addressed with weigh loss, more exercise and better eating habits. And by better eating habits, I think it's all stuff I already know and want to do anyway... very limited high-sugar foods (no soda or pie), smaller more complex meals.

This is much better.

This cheers me up.

I can do that.

You go girl! I did weight watchers a couple of years ago and lost 40lb fairly effortlessly. I was able to maintain, but of course I've gained it back. Two weeks in the UK can do that too you, and I haven't recovered since. Beware the meals of fruits. Just like candy/carbs, you will be hungry later. Try vegetables and lean protein. Protein and fiber will keep you fuller for longer. I had a decent breakfast sandwich of fake sausage patty, 1/2 serving size of egg beaters, and light wheat english muffin. Low cal, and it kept me satisfied until close to lunch. Then I'd use fruit as a snack.
