The VICE Challenge - enter if you dare!

shotgunmcos

The VICE punishments can be found here

It has to have a defined period
Its must have strict rules
A flexibility dilemma
Real sacrifice
Peer support/abuse as needed
Honesty :cool:

So ideas? Some thoughts.
Pick your main 2 vices
A different flavour on the challenge each month
Christmas week off!

Perhaps a simple start for November. Pick your biggest vice and go cold turkey. Well cold turkey ish..

You are allowed just 500Kcals of your vice. You can break that down however you like but you must report it. For example "today I ate 6 burbon creams @68 Kcals each" = 408 Kcals. Meaning I can eat one and a half more burbon creams in the month.

The catch. You can go over, but you must report. For example after my burbon creams moment of weakness, I'm good for a week, then eat 2 chocolate hob nobs @95 Kcals each. This puts my Vice total to 598 Kcals, thus 98 over.

The penalty must be something physical, torturous and monotonous. Like 98 burpees or left leg lunges to be completed by month end. If I ate 2 more hob nobs that would be 190 more burpees or 288 total burpees .

My Vice is clearly biscuits. I easily do 3-5 packs a week

You had me until 'burpees'.

Solobally8

Count me in! Although I can't do burpees with my broken arms so it will have to be squats or something lower body based for me. Reeeally need to do this. My vices are chocolate and walkers sensations crisps.

RacoonQueen

Chocolate that is less than 70% :pac: and cans of coke (free in work - easy to grab)

What is your suggestion of torture then?

There must be a painful price to pay for indulgence. Or do we involve peers here to call out your penance?

I don't!!

Epitomy of self control, I am

Oryx

Circuit set:
Squats
Lunges
Pressups
Burpees
Squat jumps

Reps depend on the severity of your transgression.

My vice: Cadburys chocolate, Hunky Dory/Okie Dokie crisps. I can eat a family size bag in one sitting.

shotgunmcos

I like the idea of the circuit set. Real leg burner.

So let's define a period to run a test of this challenge?
How many reps/sets per transgression?

Maybe 1 set of 10 reps per 100Kcals on first offence?
1 set of 15 reps per 70 Kcals on 2nd
1 set of 20 reps per 50 Kcals on 3rd

And if you don't get it after the ass DOMs
Final offense: 1 set of 40 reps per 100 Kcals and a 1km run between sets (if that doesn't teach you nothing Will)

Thoughts?

RacoonQueen

That would make me have another bar of chocolate due to the fact ''ah sure I've just burnt the other one off''

Dory Dory

When is this starting?? I need to get my act together - I've got a crap load of chocolate to consume thank you Oryx between now and then! :eek:

(Is start date this Tuesday (after Monday night football)? Or is it November 1st (the damage we can do 12 days away...)? Or sometime in between?)

Well 49ers up tonight so I'm good to go from tomorrow.

My vice: biscuits and chocolate

Let's lock down the challenge period (20 Oct - 19 Nov)?

Everyone happy with rules? 500Kcals total, circuits for anything over?

Do we need a table? :pac:

Solobally8

Count me in from tomorrow

Oryx

Wait a minute. That 500kcal is per day, right?

Dory Dory

Belly hurts from so much chocolate today.

As of midnight tonight, I am off all chocolate, and all cookies/cakes/pies. Let the games begin!

(P.S. - Who's in?? Best I can tell it's just shotgun and 4 hoochies. AKW?? I'm guessing you couldn't come up with any fat photos after all. )

Just in case there's any confusion. I am just nosey. I am NOT in for this

Cruel move posting that pic, fat boy.

sconhome

Now you know why!! It's a vicious God that allows a running store to be situated midway between a bakery and an undertaker!!

shotgunmcos

So if you visited the bake shop, the exit sign says "stop next door or you will end up next door..."

Day 1 will be easy... Positively over indulged last night. Massive sugar low today but the though of another biscuit ain't good.

On the bright side, parts arrived for my broken blender.. Smoothies

sconhome

Ok. Are we starting today?

My VICES / temptations:
Wife's chocolate biscuit cake (made a new one yesterday - I'd a corner of a slice with cuppa tea last night)
Wife's apple crumble - oat and nut topping with wild blackberries.
All of the above picture.

So far today, I've been very good.

Two potential punishments:
Big gear work on the turbo - minute per cal, so 98min BG work as per your example
Hill work out on the treadmill - half minute per cal so 49mins as per...

I think all are valid.

Forget tables, let's do trust. You transgress, you post details and the Jury will decide?

All agree say "aye aye captain"

Or just "aye".. !

Just to reiterate - Dory kicked my ass on a similar challenge in 2013

Solobally8

Yikes I just ate a biscuit by accident! However biscuits are not on my vice list so Im in the clear! Phew!
