December 2021 Move Your @$$ Challenge

Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the December 2021 Move Your @$$ 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. :lol:

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 a day or so. Don't hold us too tightly to that though. :grin:

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 will aim for 85 this month. Always hard to know what was December will go but at least I have a 10k race at the end of the month to prepare for so that should keep me pretty much focused!

    Best of luck everyone and thanks for keeping this going!

    30 again,

    Adding 1.4, walked for 30 straight mins on the treadmill. The heel wasn't super comfy at the end but it held up.

    I walked the dogs 3 times today & I got a job helping a cleaning service! I walked pushing a vacuum for 8.5 hours cleaning at the apartment complex where I live. There are 6 buildings that hold over 200 apartments!! My fitbit read 21,331 steps. I am taking 5 miles of walking for all the moving my legs did today!

    @vhuber sounds like you are getting sorted - well done you. The bed sounds like luxury

    Dave and Janet - thanks for keeping us moving!
    I had a fall on Sunday - well my big gormless lab pulled me over while i was running. I have two sprained wrists and a very sore derriere.

    So will keep my goal 220km for December

    @Leanz - Beautiful lab. :smile: The sprained wrists sound painful! Hope Ibuprofen helps that.

    @vhuber - That's a lot of vacuuming!!! I think you could definitely take five or more miles for that much. It's not just the steps, the pushing the vacuum back and forth is an upper body work out for sure. :wink:

    December already and I am still blowing leaves, cleaning out garden beds, laying down mulch and wood chips. Thanks Dave and Janet for being keepers of the miles. Please put me down for 100 this month.
    @Lenz: So sorry to hear about your doggie fall.I had my pastor’s lab for the last week and she can be a handful on her walks, especially if she sees squirrels, deer and other dogs. Even on a gentle leader she can be a handful.

    Dec. 1: 5 miles walking
    Dec.2: 6 miles walking
    Dec. 3: 6 mikes walking
    TTD: 17 miles

    Sorry I've been MIA. I'm upping my goal to 75 this month. Fingers crossed. I have 6 miles so far.

    @leanz - ouch! Sorry to hear about your fall, but how could you not forgive that adorable creature. Miss my labs so much! Hope you feel better soon.

    My bid for December is 40 purposeful miles … fingers crossed I manage it. My splint/boot comes of this weekend and I need to slowly build up the strength in my ankle. More crucially I need to work on my core … this last twelve months have seen a serious depreciation in core strength. ETA : November saw me complete 36.44 miles :'(

    @vhuber - I’ve just seen your post. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm sure it was a difficult decision to make. I hope you get the outcome you want. (((BIG HUGS))
    @kar328 - I’m glad the combination of treatment has helped a little with your heel.
    @Leanz - your Golden Lab is lovely …. and therefore forgiven. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

    Something to make you smile … I was listening to a radio phone in and the member of the public described herself as a Sports Therapist who dealt with a wide range of sports injuries … her name was … Linda Cartilage. It made me laugh out loud!

    3.4 miles on the bike. Was going to do the treadmill but didn't have a lot of time and I can get a few more with the recumbent bike.
