Attack of the Killer Turkey

So Thanksgiving is only a day away and I am gathering up all my will power to not wear sweats for the Knott's Berry Farm Thanksgiving day buffet. Somehow I feel like you are supposed to eat till you fall asleep in your sweet potatoes from all the tryptophan. I started a new thing this week. We won't call it a diet. We'll just call it alternative food therapy. Ha ha. It's called the Diet Cure. It's this book based on the concept that we as humans due to lack of good nutrition and stress become deprived of amino acids that are necessary to make our brains function properly. By supplementing these amino acids we can rebuild the way our brain works to control cravings, re-amp metabolisim, sleep better, exercise more effiecently, and in general improve our mental and physical health. It's short term therapy until we re-train our brains to function the way that they should. The supplements can't hurt anything and it seems pretty straightforward so I'm trying it. After 24 hours I felt better, more alert, I could focus for the first time in weeks. Taking a daily vitamin is always a good step so that's at least a positive by product of all of this. Hopefully this will give my body the jump start that it needs to get out of hibernation mode. I mean, it's winter and all but who really wants to be a giant bear? So as I get ready for the big gobble gobble day wish me luck and please hide all my elastic wasted pants.
