    this challenge is such a bust for me. last night i decided that i rather walk on my treadclimber for an hour because it burns more calories... then an hour later, i wasn't feeling well... tummy bug.... so no working out today, possibly tomorrow...we'll see.... i'm too far behind to even try to catch up. oh well. it has still been good and i'm a lot stronger than i was.
  • What do you guys do for the Quick Trouble Zones part? I have the No More Trouble Zones DVD but didnt see a section with that option for the quick part? Thanks so much I will have to do the Quick part on Sunday. :smile:

    Well, I'm sort of back at it. I'll have to do a NMTZ, a BFBM, and a level 1 or level 2 each of the next three days to end on time, but at least I'd be a little more buff for vacation. Not sure if I'll be able to do it, but we'll see. I have just done NMTZ and am going to clean up a bit before I decide what to do next. Got my Halloween costume today and the dress shows a bit too much of the chubb! I thought the jacket was longer and would hide it, but it's a crop jacket. If I really stand up straight and suck in, I can almost hide it but I am a sloucher, so I don't really know how confident I'll be wearing it. Still, it's a pretty cool outfit, and it mostly fits.

    Ttv2004, I think you can buy QTZ but I've just been using NMTZ. Someone said QTZ is NMTZ without the floor work. I have no idea, but if that's right, I'd rather do NMTZ because the floor work is where I am best. I suck in a huge way at most things arm related, so I'd rather do the whole thing and give my arms and legs a little break for a couple of circuits. Well, I hope everyone is ok. Jenjabbour, hope the belly is getting better. Anyone planning on doing the same challenge in November? I was planning on it, but because we'll be gone from the second to the ninth, I don't know what I'll be doing. I wanted to start c25k in November but that depends on my ankle and I do plan on starting insanity in December.

    yeah, no way i could work out yesterday, went to bed early again, feeling stronger today, but probably not up to JM workouts... maybe I'll walk at a slower pace on the treadclimber tonight... still not even up to eating 1,000 cals... maybe today i'll be able to eat more...

    bella, sorry the costume isn't fitting how you had hoped. just wear it w/ confidence and have fun!

    Ouch. Good luck. And, in the costume's defense, it's a maxi dress made of very soft cotton. It was never going to be flattering on someone with a few lumps here and there. Anyway, it's not too bad. It's really comfortable, which is a plus, and the jacket is actually a little loose on me! I knew I had a picture around here of my Halloween costume from last year and I found it. Boy oh boy. Sometimes you forget just how big you let yourself get. Will post last Halloween/this Halloween pictures, somewhere.

    I've done NMTZ and BFBM now and jeez. That woman is evil. Still, the cardio one really gave me some energy, so now I've got a lot of other things to do in a short time!

    Well, not sure if anyone's really doing this anymore, or even coming to the thread, so I'm kind of feeling like it's pointless to post here, and I think I'll just do a blog post with my before and after pictures. All I have to do is one BFBM and a level 1 and I've finished. Got up and did NMTZ this morning. My muscles were really protesting, but I so want to finish the challenge on time. Anyway, good luck ladies. I hope everyone is well.
