Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the January 2020 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. )

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!

Janet and Dave

    5 miles from the ex bike this morning before going and spending the day with one of our grandsons who turned 7. His birthday was yesterday & he wanted to go bowling but the lanes were super busy due to New Years Eve so we just did a family party today. It was fun although I wasn't the best bowler! LOL Drove home in heavy snow to where you could hardly see!
    I wish you ALL a HEALTHY & HAPPY New Year! May your butt's be moving and reaching those goals!!!

    Wishing you all health and happiness for 2020, and wealth in the things that truly matter.
    Huge thank to Dave and Janet for everything that they do to keep us in order.

    My target for January is 100 miles.

    1st: 7 miles, 3.1 m running, 4 m purposeful walking - MTD 7

    ETA: Started the day/year with an 8 am parkrun in a neighbouring town. Then speedy transfer to my own parkrun to supervise the funnel. 1st Jan is Double parkrunday :smiley: . Last year we hosted 260 runners. This year 795. Oh my word, it was awesome. My team were amazing. Although it did take 2 hours to process the results.

    Happy New Year!!

    I too, have been MIA for a spell. Took some time off, had to get off my Diabetic Meds , lost 40 lbs , enough weight to be under 200!! ….. for the first time since gaining 64 lbs when I had my only child almost 30 years ago......hey what can I say I lose weight sloooooooooowww….. lol
    but This caused my
    A1C to get up to 11...not good.
    Back on Some meds now , A1C is down to 7.5 , so I am hoping to get back into walking.

    Please put me down for 50 miles.

    Thanks,
    Time2
