I do IF daily at 1pm lunch and supper at 4:30ish so that I can Fast daily from 5pm -1pm the next day --for a 20:4 --I sometimes have to deviate a bit from this, due to real life unforseen circumstances but that is my usual schedule.
I have never driven and my husband has Parkinson’s which has been progressing and on June 23rd (during a doctor’s appointment with his Parkinson’s Neurologist) he told him that he can no longer drive (because of all his seizures and tremors) and that he should quit work and apply for full-time disability (which we did). Because our van was a 2009 with a lot of mileage and was having break issues (on the way to the hospital it was making noises) we donated it to a charitable organization and received an income tax receipt for it. I was fortunate enough to go shopping about once a month on average with friends of my son (and was sending the kids to the store walking for a few essentials since that happened) but then on September 12th I broke my Talus bone (the top bone on your foot that joins your two ankle bones each side) so a very significant/major bone on the foot. I had an Air cast boot on for about 12 weeks, and I wasn’t able to go shopping (even if I had a ride) so this opportunity to buy online ordering from Walmart is very significant and wonderful to me. I have had to just accept that I cannot get most of what I want but that is now my normal, and I am happy for what I can get =). (More details on all of this are on my accountability thread, not to totally blow up this thread with all of this, but I wanted to explain in summary).
My new normal has just had to adjust, and I feel pretty positive and proud of myself of how I am coping/adjusting to it all! Life has a lot of surprises that it throws at us and we just need to adapt. I choose to be a happy person and not let anything deter my succeeding with my Keto journey, so I am making it work, regardless of the circumstances =).
I wish all of you continued successes in your Keto journeys and in all of your fasting/IF/EF and life struggles and victories!
