Share Four Somethings-August 2023

This month has gone by quickly and I can't believe Friday is September. This has been a weird summer. We moved Kayla back to school on Saturday, and now I am trying to get back into a new routine, again. Anyway, I am happy to be able to look back over the month and link up with Jennifer to share my Four Somethings. I will be sharing things I've loved, learned, read, and ate!

 Something Loved

I started going to a gym and working with a private trainer. She set the class up for four ladies that would not normally go to a gym for whatever reason. I have gone three weeks, this last week I was the only one, and the two previous weeks there were only two of us. Ya'll, if you ever needed the motivation to get yourself back into a workout routine, I highly recommend doing something like this. It jump started my motivation, and the things I learned last week, challenged me throughout this week. I learned my core is not as strong as I thought it was. Chrissy is constantly correcting me on my form, which helped me with my workouts at home this past week. I have also learned where I can add weights to my home workout that I do.

Something Learned 

So much. Maybe I should have have put my fitness class here, LOL. But, I learned that my years of food allergies/intolerances have a cause...I have a histamine intolerance. Knowing is half the battle, right? You can read more about how I learned, causes and symptoms in my health updates post.

Something Read

I have been reading a lot of nonfiction on allergies and histamine intolerance...but I have also been able to read quite a bit of fiction this month as well. Here are my three 5-star books from the month, you can click on the cover if you would like to read my reviews.

 

Something I Ate

Where as last month I said I ate EVERYTHING, this month has been much better. I had already started eliminating things I had been eating that I shouldn't (looking at you cookies and bagels), and have been trying to restrict more things so I will feel better. Here are a few pictures of what I ate this month:

 

While I was enjoying those chicken and cauliflower noodle meals, I now know I can't eat the noodles anymore, they have too many ingredients. I will have to try it with the cauliflower rice and see if it takes as good. The noodles don't have as strong a cauliflower taste as the rice though (probably all those dratted ingredients!!)

"To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen." Philippians 4:20

 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17
