Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the September 2013 Move Your *kitten* Challenge.....
The first MYAC thread was in November 2010 and has been going strong and growing more and more each month.....Welcome to the newbies and welcome back to the oldies
Things will be a little different this month.....
1. Set your goal....distance ONLY (Miles or KMs) - NO minutes, NO # of workouts, NO # of steps - DISTANCE ONLY.
2. Make your ticker if you want to use one (see directions below) or add your goal to the thread.
3. Get moving your @ss starting Sunday, September, 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 moved each time you update.
For now we will get the sheet set up with the partcipants and once all goals are entered, each participant should check the sheet ...right now it is not open for everyone to edit - just me and Dave, i'll add sara and janet for now and hopefully we can do our best to keep the sheet updated and make sure everyone stays current...we may switch to participants entering their own miles on the sheet but for now we'll stick to how it was before but with Dave (darkrider42) has offered to take over what Dino does on the sheet to continue collecting our data for the challenge for the end of month stats....
Please do not post any August miles here...We will get the August sheet updated this week once all miles are reported for August. I'm hoping Dino helps us out by finishing up August's sheet - pretty please
Please add only September goals/miles to this thread.....
The goal 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, the stairmaster, the elliptical, the bike, roller blades, walking, running, biking, hiking, swimming (if you can measure).....Just set a distance goal and do the work...Sorry we will not be tracking number of workouts or minutes moved on this challenge - ONLY distance....
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 compete with them....the idea is to set your goal and reach it before the end of the month....
Once the thread hits 500 posts it will roll to a 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 4th part. Click the link on the last post that says next part to post your update.
Welcome to all - new and old.....have a great month challenging yourself....
Directions for making a ticker:
Go to tickerfactory.com and create a weight loss/fitness ticker (link is lower left side of page). Then copy the BB code and paste it into your posts on this thread each time you do an update.
link to new sheet - not set up yet with new participants but it will be once the thread starts filling up....
