Limbo....but not the flexible game!! Post from 11-12

I was gung ho to start that challenge.  It was so simple.  It was so spot on.  It was something that even in my messed up life/world that I felt that I could manage.  And then I read the 'update' to the challenge.  Basically the organizer decided to add a bit to the challenge.   Now don't get me wrong.  I actually LOVE the things that they added.  I think all of the points are awesome.   But right now in my life it adds too many layers and complicates things too much.  I need simple right now.  I can't worry about all of the things to challenge myself with .  Yes, I know I could still the simple things, but I know me.  I would feel like a failure for not doing those things that I ignore.  It's not worth it to me.  So I remain challenge-less.

I have hit up zumba each night this week.  I have also run twice within the last couple days.   My eating....lets not talk about that.  However, I will say this......I do know that I have to dial that in!!!!!!

The last two days have been reality let tearless so hopefully things are shifting.  :-).  I just want this 'being in limbo' to end....and get on with my life.....reinvent myself.   Figure out who I am and what I want.  I need to find me again.  (Oh heavens help us because the real me may be a fruit loop of a nut case!!!!)   Either way I am chomping at the bit to get past this stage.

Limbo stage is always wearing no matter the circumstance that cause it, I know it's a struggle but you will get to where you want and are meant to be. As dory would say 'just keep swimming!'

don't sell yourself short darlin...and don't react with panic/fear you can do anything you set your mind to. it's ok if this wasn't the challenge for you but mayhaps you should have spoken with the admin about that as many people probably feel the same as you.

Let the challenge go with no guilt or remorse. This isn't the right time for you. That is all there is to it. It has nothing to do with you as a person, if you are a success or failure. I am impressed that you understand your limitations and realize that the time is not right. Let go of the success/failure part of it and you're golden.

Can you still do the challenge without the extra things that have been added?
