Sorry I haven't posted as much as usual this last week or so. It's been hectic getting ready for school and, I have to admit, my brain has been a bit off. This of course is due to my meddling with my meds and supplements. See I used to take them at around 9:00 am. I have since switched the time, since I was getting sleepy around 4:00 pm, to the evening. I also must admit that I got a little cocky and tried cutting down a bit on them - not much, just a tad - too much apparently. And then throw this into the mix; I also went to a wedding and literally pigged out on plates of pork! See, the caterer had these delightfully delicious bacon wrapped asparagus appetizers. I tried one justifying that it was "basically" a whole food. The asparagus, of course, was fine. The bacon however - not so much. See, this was a store bought prepackaged product that was undoubtedly laced with more glutamate than I've ingested in weeks. It wouldn't have been bad had I'd eaten 1, 2 or maybe 3. No - I emptied 1/2 the contents of that industrial sized serving tray of Glutamate into my gullet. Could that have been part of the cause to my dumpy mood (first time in quite awhile I must say)? Perhaps.

What ever the cause (I always seek to find it so not to make the same mistakes again), I yesterday and today felt off. What did this look like for me? My head was foggy - memory and thoughts were not as clear. I was pissy and sarcastic. I even felt a tinge of social anxiety coming back at the thought of doing a speech for Toast Masters or even talking with a group of people. In other words, my old crap was lurching back... it felt.

What changed it? This morning I decided to take an extra Resveratrol pill. I already had taken one the night before as well as resorted to taking my originally recommended doses of my previously mentioned supplements and meds. In no time after taking the additional Resveratrol, my head cleared and mood perked up. This makes me wonder if I did have too much residual Glutamate built up in my system from the damned pork gorging incident.

Conclusion? I plan on continuing to take my other pills at night, however, I will now take Resv in the morning and possibly in the afternoon. (I will try to take 2 pills per day now.)

Also - no more pigging out on pig!

(unless it's organic, of course...) ;)
