Near Death
Upon arriving in the ER I underwent many tests to see what my problem was. I found out that my blood count was at 5 instead of the usual 15-17 range. I enjoyed many blood transfusions and a lot of jello. I puked and crapped blood at the same time.
I am not allowed to lift heavy until January. I am glad it is all over.
Love,
Gil

You Must Decide to be Happy.
Yep. Isn't that aggravating? You can't blame it on anyone else, and no one else can do a thing for you. You've just got to decide to be happy, whether or not your logical mind thinks it is rational to be happy and whether or not your moral sense thinks you deserve to be happy. You absolutely will not be happy for any length of time until you decide to, and if you decide to, you can be happy in the face of the most miserable circumstances.
Happy deciding.

I am also going to try to go back to strict paleo/zone. I have been cheating a lot lately and now it is time to get serious. I forgot I have fight gone bad coming up. I should have been stricter these past few weeks. Now I will not cheat or have processed foods including protein bars. I will also limit my caffeine intake. 30 Days... Starting Tonight.
