Following Through on My Resolutions

You are so cute! I grew up using chopsticks, so I can eat anything with them and even cook with them. I have a little tip. If you have an Asian grocery store near you, buy some chopsticks that are made out of untreated wood. They are a little harder to find and not that expensive. The texture of the wood makes it easier to grip the sticks. The shiny type ones can become slippery when held. The way you hold your sticks is also one way of doing it. I support the bottom stick against my middle finger’s “writing callous(the callous everyone develops from school)”. This frees up your pointer and thumb to direct the top stick. All you need is a steady grip for the top stick to grab. Sorry this is so long. Hope this helps.

Ha! I just got a “chopstick helper” at a mixer we had earlier in the week for my work! I managed to use the chopsticks for the little that I needed them without it, but the helper may have possibly made its way into my purse on the way out the door so I could practice at home. Once I get in a little practice, I can mail it to ya!

Hi Heather – cutest video ever! um – wasnt sure whether to put this in the comments as it doesnt directly relate to the recent post – but I know this is something a lot of your readers are also interested in… so I thought random comment better than email! I commented a while ago abotu you increasing protein to sort out your hormones – ive had the same issues for a bout 5 years now – totally like 3/4 cycles in that long – ouch! and im super healthy and not underweight – i just lost quite a lot of weight in one go 5 years ago and since then its all been a bit kaput! – ANYWAY – great news – my cycle (knock on major wood here ) seems to have started again. – following the xmas binge! i ate a lot of hearty food over xmas – but didnt directly overeat or gain any weight. i ate a fair bit of meat – but only had one proper (like 4 course!) meal per day really – so no more meat than i have eaten at various other times in the past. the only real thing I can think that was massively different was a huge increase in my saturated fat intake. normally i get most of my fats from nuts/ nut butter/ oily fish – but over xmas i was consuming a ton of food cooked in butter and with cream. no soy rice milk in sight either – it was all about the full fat! and a lot of cheese! anyways ive done lots of reading around the topic and a lot of people seem to think if you increase your saturate fat it has an effect – but that it has to be saturated. this is so NOT how i normally eat – but i think its definitely worth keeping up with until my hormones regulate a bit (im talking organic raw butter and fresh cream here – NOT krispe kremes etc ). besides theres the whole weston price side of things – which reckons saturated fat is not so bad after all! and im kind of with that way of thinking. plus this way i get to carry out having my sprouted bread for breakfast – just with a massive spread of butter on top!! – anyways – though u might be interested! have an awesome rest of ur wknd – hugs xxx
