Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the November 2020 Move Your @$$ 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

    Holidays are tough. I end up working a lot of extra shifts. I'll try for 200 again.

    @MICHELEG1965 - Welcome back! Wee missed you! :blush:

    @SUFFERLANDRIAN - Thanks, Dean! I'm getting a lot of "You look like Sean Connery". Ha, could be worse. Of course the first thing I think about when I think about him is Will Ferrell playing him on SNL "Celebrity Jeopardy". :lol:


    Hard to believe it's ANOTHER week in the books, Folks! Have a great weekend and stay safe! And keep those bodies moving! :smiley:

    @Dave - I set a goal as I got older not to pee in the bed. That makes me want to jump out of bed in the morning. Does that count? :smile:

    Sorry to hear we lost Sean Connery today. So Dave, I hope you don't look like him. But I do love the photo.

    @sufferlandrian - not peeing in bed is definitely a worthy goal LOL

    Thank you Dave and Janet for the effort you put in to this challenge!

    Going to aim a little higher so 140km for November please.

    Crazy thinking so many are heading into winter while we are just starting to warm up.
    Yesterday it was HOT here, when it got a little cooler, I thought I would take the pups for a walk. We got caught in a thunder storm and all came back looking like drowned rats!! Warm again today.

    MTD 6.92/140kms

    I’ve fallen out of bed laughing. Perhaps that should be my goal every morning :):D

    Echoing the rapturous applause for @Dave and @Janet and all that they do to motivate and keep us in order (I think the keeping order might be the hardest bit).

    @Leanz - a little bit of envy at you going into summer.

    @Dave - a very handsome image.

    My target for November .... 100 miles.

    Sadly England is going into lockdown again ... as a small island we should have been able to control this pestilence :'(
