How important is eating right, working out, and rest? Well let me tell you first hand. On September 4th, 2009 I received a kidney transplant. Everything went really well. I was back in the gym 60 days later. My transplant team credit it to me being in such good shape. December 8th of this year I went in to the hospital for a simple surgery. During the surgery I went in to a coma. I woke up 13 days later. I was on life support all 13 days. My doctors told me a normal person would not have made it.

I want to make one thing clear. This story is not about me. This happens all the time around the country. The thing that doesn’t happen is the fact that I am here to share it with you. On the day of my surgery I ended up having 5 different surgeries, four different surgeons at the same time. In the ICU my doctor told me if it weren’t for me working out and eating right, I would not have made it. One of the things I have learned after going through all this is that there is more to it than just preventing getting sick. It’s what happens after you’re sick and how much eating, working out, and rest is so important. Let’s face it - people are going to get sick, you’re going to get hurt, or something. No matter how much we work out, how good we eat, and how good we take care of ourself.

It could happen. It’s when it happens that makes the difference. How well you do and how fast you recover. So just keep in mind. If you don’t do it for prevention do it for recovery. It makes all the difference. In my past blogs I told you I drink three PROTEIN BLITZ drinks a day. Now you know why. I’m not saying you need three a day. But one a day just might keep that doctor away.  So drink up and know your doing your body a lot of good. I’m living proof.

Just when you think your diet and training is working for you and you start feeling better and looking better, you get hit from the blind side. Well that’s what happened to me.

After receiving my kidney transplant over a year ago. I had gained 40 pounds, benching 300 lbs., and feeling great. Then out of nowhere I started to feel tiered, couldn’t eat, didn’t want to train, didn’t want to leave my house, or do anything. So I go to my doctor  and he finds nothing. I go to a different doctor. Same thing. After the 5th doctor he tells me to go to the hospital and he would meet me there and run some test. Two days in the hospital and I end up in ICU. 11 days later I come out of ICU and was told I had just gone through five different operations. I went in on Dec. 8th and went home Dec. 23rd. Lost 40 pounds and just walking to my car would leaving me out of breath.

So here I am having to put myself back together again. This is my second time in just one year. I can’t train yet. But I can eat. Already I have put on 20 pounds and feeling great. After going through this once before. I already knew what I had to do. At that’s were ProteinBlitz comes in. I am putting lean muscle back on as well as having a lot of energy. My doctors are more than surprised at how well and fast I am recovering.  The reason I’m sharing this with you is to remind you of just how important exercise, rest, and diet is. Protein is a big part of a healthy diet. Whether you’re trying to gain muscle or lose fat. I strongly recommend ProteinBlitz. I know first hand that it works – I’ve been through it once and I will get through it again. It’s nice to know that there is a product out there that really works. It gives you hope knowing you can reach your goals that you have set for yourself. I will be the first to tell you to never give up and that there is help out there.
