Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the NOVEMBER 2023 Move Your @$$ 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.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

    Thanks for all of the Get Well wishes! I'm doing remarkably better today! I have my energy back, I can breathe, and not too much coughing!

    @JANET - No worries! My cold came on really quickly and I had very little warning. But really we've got this system down to such a science that it was practically nothing to get it caught back up again. :sunglasses: Hopefully, I didn't scare anybody worrying that I had run for the hills.... LOL

    @Lovemyalex:Thanks for letting me know that it is not just me. I am sure they will get it figured out.
    Someone please explain time change to my dog. I guess ai just pretend that it still is the same time. I got up and took Brinkley for a long walk and tonight he headed upstairs to bed at 7 pm. He looked at me and I said “goodnight”.

    Nov. 5: 6.5 miles walking

    @clepant It's not just dogs, cats can't tell time either. Mine did well last night, I'll give them that, but last year it took 2 or 3 days before they settled in to a reasonable hour of ... sigh ... 5 AM. I do get some revenge, I work at 4:45AM on Fridays so I end up waking them up :smiley:

    30 miles for November please and

    5.1 to start.

    Hi everyone!! The issue with the ending miles from last month not matching the starting miles for the current month is a temporary thing that will happen each month until I re-sort the previous month by Username instead of by Goal %.

    In the meantime whenever the previous month is still sorted by Goal %, it messes with the formulas that compute the starting mileage for the Current month. (Hint: It pulls that number from the wrong row.) As soon as I re-sort the previous month by Username instead, all of the formulas and your stats become instantly correct once again. Magic! :lol:

    I have not yet figured out a proper fix for how to make it calculate correctly ALL of the time regardless of the sort. Until @JANET or I do, there will be just a couple of days near the beginning of the month where those numbers won't match. Sorry.... :|
