Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the APRIL 2025 Move Your @$$ 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

    Welcome to the APRIL 2025 thread!! I'm dropping my goal by half to 75 miles this month because I need to do more walking than biking. Good luck everyone!

    All of these big numbers, WHEW! I'm going for 30 miles, want to try and get 1 per day of walking, since I've been SUPER sedentary the past few months.

    WELCOME to @glitteriestwarriorqueen!! Don't worry about those big numbers. You do you! 😊 We all start somewhere. Plus it's just smart to have an achievable goal so you don't get discouraged right out of the gate. Like you, I'm also walking 1 mille (most days). Only difference is that I'm throwing a little stationary bike in here and there. Don't forget to come back in here and update us on how things are going and feel free to ask questions if you have any!

    Please put me in for 25 miles walking for April. On April 22 is my 1 year appt for my right knee. I am currently walking in beach sand, uneven terrain, incline/decline and plenty of gravel roads. Getting ready for a summer Mt Bachelor hike on a brand new trail they are building. Got to do it before my next knee gets replaced

    CONGRATS to @anaconda469 for making GOAL in March!! 🤩 It's hard to believe it's already been coming up on a year since you got the new knee. You're doing great!!

    @tahm42 - Keep doing what you need to do to take care of yourself and your back. I'm so glad to see that you're getting signs of it improving. 🙏

    I'm in for 50 this month. I have 3 so far.

    @GlitteriestWarriorQueen Everyone counts their miles differently. I only count miles when I deliberately exercise or when I choose to walk or bike somewhere instead of driving. I don't count all the steps/miles that come from doing housework, shopping or whatever, and since I do get 10,000 steps a day that would be a lot more miles if I counted them. Also I mostly walk/run so my miles are very small compared to those who mostly bike. But as @darkrider42 said, do what works for you and don't worry about the others!

    Dave & Janet,

    Thank you for running this for so long. I'm glad to see the group still running after being away for so long. 😀

    WOW! Glad to see you back as well, @Libi_KK!! I will get you on for this month! 😎 Also for your ticker, if you just post the text starting with the second ‘https’ up through the ‘.png’ and then hit the spacebar after the last letter (g), it will post the ticker picture. After you get the picture and you click on it, you’ll have a couple of options to change the size and alignment. Let us know if you have any trouble and we’ll get you fixed up. I’ll see if I can fix the one you already posted.

    Side note…. granted it was also snowing here in Minneapolis last night… but I had my first cashier/checkout person say “Ho ho ho!” to me last night… 🤣 This picture is from today and is almost 4 months of growth.

    I was going to get up and ride the bike this morning, but I was enjoying sleeping in a little too much. lol I'll try to do it tomorrow morning so I can get a little breathing room for this month. I really dislike being behind. :)

    HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!!

    Dave & Janet, please change my mile to 30 this month. I kicked a rise in the sidewalk Thursday and fell. I ended up in the hospital. I messed up my forehead from broken sunglasses and broke my little finger on my right hand. I won't be walking outside for a while. If the docs okay me to do walking in the house, I'll up my miles.

    Thank you both.

    Adding 11.11 miles.

    Chris

    @cpanus: Oh my Chris, how awful! Sounds like something that would happen to me. I don’t know if I should tell my surgeon when I see him tomorrow, that I fell March 3rd. You take it easy and get better. I hope you are not in to much discomfort. Hugs and prayers to you.

    April 6: 5 miles walking. Another rain drenched day.
    TTD: 31.25 miles
