Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the JANUARY 2018 Move Your *kitten* Challenge!
PLEASE READ the directions below.
We welcome all newbies and welcome back to the oldies!
"Rules of the Challenge"
1. Set your goal and post it to the thread....distance ONLY (Miles or KMs) - NO minutes, NO # of workouts, NO # of calories, NO # of steps - DISTANCE ONLY.
2. Make your ticker if you want to use one (see directions below or in the FAQ thread) or add your goal to the thread.
3. Get moving your @$$ starting JANUARY 1st.
4. Post as often as you can to the thread so we can keep the sheet (see link below) up to date. You are welcome to report what you are moving each time BUT please make sure you post the TOTAL miles (or kms) moved each time you update.
Please don't post any previous month's miles here. We will continue updating the previous month's spreadsheet using the old thread for approximately the first 5 or so days of the new and current month. Please add only your current month's goals/miles to this thread. Got it?
The purpose is to set a distance goal (KM or Miles) and track your distance for the month - please only do one or the other...if you are doing KM just report in KM - we have a formula in the spreadsheet that will convert it to miles for us.
You are challenging yourself, not competing against anyone else.....the distance can be on a treadmill, stairmaster, elliptical, bike, roller blades, walking, running, biking, hiking, swimming (if you can measure).....just set a distance goal and do the work.
Report to the thread often to keep us updated because we track our info on a spreadsheet (see link below) so you can see how you are doing compared to the group but not to openly compete with them. (Whatever goes on inside your own brain is your own business.
)
The idea is to set your goal and reach it before the end of the month.
Welcome to all - new and old.....have a great month challenging yourself!
Link to the Google spreadsheet where you can view (but not edit). The Challenge Admins will update it for you at mostly random times.....but typically at least once a day. Don't hold us to that though.

Directions for making a ticker:
Go to either www.lilyslim.com or www.tickerfactory.com and create a Fitness ticker. Then copy the "BB code" and paste it into your posts on this thread each time you do an update. (More detailed info is located in the FAQ thread on the MYAC Group page.)
Welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay and that you find this helpful in realizing your fitness goals!

Hi I've been waiting for the new year to start. I want to set monthly goals and also for the whole of 2018. Not sure yet what that will be? Thanks for having me. 0

OK Chris. What are we going for this month? I say we shoot for 175 miles? What do you think?0
-
Sure thing! Oh, man! I might just have to get on the recumbent bike. 175, huh? We have one week off before our DDD goes back to teaching first grade and we have early grandson pick up, but I'll take you up on your challenge, Dean!! 175 miles it is!

My January goal is 125 miles, 1500 miles for 2018 with my Fitbit. I will be mostly walking.. working up to jogging if my knee(s) will take it? One of my main goals is do a 5k with my daughter in 2018!

@mybesttutu - welcome! Nice to have you in our challenge. We've got you down for 125 miles in January. We don't have a place to store your goal for the year -- you'll have to remember it yourself! Good luck with the 5k!

Happy new year everyone! Let's make it another good one.1 -

A chilly one here today...it was -11F when I woke this morning and we're expecting a "high" of -6F. Hope this spell breaks soon. I had to put my exercise bike in storage to make room for the Christmas tree and we haven't put it back out yet. Will probably hit the gym later today.

Happy New Year everyone! So thankful for the moderators that keep track of all this!! Please put me down for 85 for January.1

Brrrrr.....-35 to -45 is just down right deep freeze. My toes got cold today filling my bird feeders. I just got a 2 hr delay for tomorrow because of windchills. My poor old girl is struggling to do her business in these temps since she is not too mobile. I had to practically carry her back in when she got me out of bed at 5:30. My entire break was spent inside for the most part. Thank goodness for the x bike. How many days till spring?
Jan. 8: Adding 8miles on the bike.
TTD: 8 miles
@kar: Good deal on the shoes. Love getting a bargain. When I find a running shoe like this years Brook Ghosts, I have learned to buy several pairs.
And for those of us dealing with the artic blast and for those who just want a laugh...a little weather humor to help ease the pain. Please forgive me if I offend anyone.

**just realized I put this post in December's forum, so I'm pasting it here as well.
Started the new year by buying two pairs of running shoes. A newer version came out, so these were 30% off, and buying two pair seemed like a good idea. And they did feel better than the new one. Also bought a cool foot roller to work on this plantar fasciitis.
Took a 1.5 mile walk outside. It didn't seem too cold until I got far enough away where I just had to keep going.
1.5/35
