Who's going to be the winner!?

Brief challenge overview: A series of 5 day workweek challenges will start today with a different challenge each week.  All participants must follow the honour rule and log down their daily activities to reach a certain goal and will be featured on this site.  Although the challenges will change every week there are a few rules everyone must abide by.  No soda and no fast food!  The loser(s), if any, will have to take a FAIL! picture of themselves.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about head on over to Fail! Blog, a funny site that could take a few minutes away from your work.

This week’s challenge is inspired by my brother’s workout challenge he had with his friends.  After several chats, a few friends online also wanted to try some challenges.  So, this week’s challenge is the 10 Hour Challenge.  To workout (lift weights, do cardio or just play some sports) for 10 hours in 5 days.  You can break it down to however many hours you want per day but I think Dennis and I are going to try to keep up with working out 2 hours a day on top of our busy workweek days.  Here we go!

Thursday edits are up. Get updated with the results.

We’re all pretty much on our way to 10 hours!!  That’s pretty good considering the downtime we’re feeling from all of this.  I just feel like my body is slowly tiring away as each day goes by.

“It really, really makes you prioritize time since we don’t have the luxury of waking up and not having to go to work, or going home and having to make dinner.  It helps build a routine.”
