Many days I am so discouraged, that I know I sabotage myself. I retired 3 years ago from a 30+ year career as a trauma ICU RN (no stress there!) So, I thought this'lll be easy--I will now have time to exercise properly, reduce my stress, and eat well (no more break room full of donuts & chips & candy!). I managed to have this job for all these years without any kind of back injury, but within 6 months of retirement, I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis AND Achilles tendinitis, something that I'm sure was many years in the making. So now I couldn't do much of the exercise that I had envisioned (couldn't even swim for months). I have been struggling with self-doubt, unworthiness, self pity for a while now, and really need some community to help me get back on my keto journey. So, thanks for being here! I look forward to seeing others' success, as it gives me hope.
