Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the March 2019 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 on the first day of the month.
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? :smiley:

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. :wink: )

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. :smile:

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!

Janet and Dave

    I'm turning 55 later this month so I'm going to make it 55 and try to find time to get those extra miles in.

    Going to try for 50 again. Time change should mean more opportunities for biking after work. Fingers crossed.

    Please put me down for 120 this month. Looking after sons dog and she is 16 years old so she can't walk as far as I would usually walk plus going on holiday later this month so don't know what the walking situation will be like.

    Thank you all for keeping this going. Really appreciated

    Thanks, but of course the butterflies were there. My HR was up to 94 before I had to take my Fitbit off before hitting the exam room. Looks like I may have a job - my dietitian sent me an email about being a health coach in a program the gym is running - just the one client at the moment. I'm working up the nerve to read the email - hoping I can do it with my current full time job. I know, just open the danged thing.

    3.2 treadmill miles. I have a 5k next Saturday and haven't run more than 2/2.5 recently.

    Well here's a milestone ... @vhuber has participated in the MYAC challenge for 100 months. That's 8 1/3 years! Can you believe it?

    And a little shout out to our friend @dinos who pops in now and then. He founded this challenge all those years ago.
