FEBRUARY 2024 Move Your @$$ Challenge

Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the FEBRUARY 2024 Move Your @$$ 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

    Not going to do any miles. If I put zero for goal can I say I made goal? πŸ˜‚. Just kidding. Just bookmarking the month so it’s easier to find.

    30 miles

    Short month. And I am headed back for MRI, injections and PT so I will stick to 125 and hope for the best.
    @Dean: I think hobbling should count double for you for sheer effort.

    Congrats to @KariD1114 and @kar328 on making their January goals!

    @sufferlandrian - I'd be happy to put you down for 1 mile :D I'm sure you're doing more than that on your scooter. Hope you are healing.

    Is that going to make them closer or further from you?

    @Janet - If manage to get a walking boot before the end of the month I might add some miles but we'll see what they say on the 7th. I know I'm going to another splint and another two weeks of non weight bearing. However, I think I can get a walking boot starting on the 21st. We'll have to see what they say on the seventh.

    @sufferlandrian - good luck when you see the doctor. I'm just kidding with you about having a 1 mile goal. You know you can set whatever goal you want anytime. We're easy that way.

    @ Dean: Keeping good thoughts for healing

    Well my left eyelid started swelling up Wednesday afternoon and I was in urgent care Friday morning and on meds.
    There is a lump under my upper eyelid. Very painful and each morning my lid swells up and by afternoon is down and back up by bed time. I don’t know if I can wait a week to see if this improves. Using compresses and taking ibuprofen along with the erythromycin.

    Feb. 1: 6 miles sniff hike and parkour training with pup
    Feb. 2: 5 miles walking
    Feb. 3,: 4 miles walking
    TTD: 15 miles
