Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the September 2014 Move Your *kitten* Challenge!

PLEASE READ the directions below.

Welcome to the newbies and welcome back to the oldies! :drinker:

"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 @ss starting Monday, 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.

Please don't post any August miles here. We will update the August spreadsheet once everyone has reported their August miles to the August thread - Please add only your SEPTEMBER goals/miles to this thread.

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. Sorry, but we will not be tracking number of workouts or minutes moved in 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 openly compete with them. (Whatever goes on inside your own brain is your own business. wink ) 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 <continued at this topic> to post your update. The main MYAC Group page will always list the current thread though.

Welcome to all - new and old.....have a great month challenging yourself! drinker

Link to the Google spreadsheet where you can view (but not edit). The Challenge Admins will update it for you at mostly random times....:laugh: ....but typically at least once a day. Don't hold us to that though. :happy:

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. (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! :flowerforyou:

    Please put me down for 175 miles for September. We'll see how my left thigh does. Have struggled in August, but I am starting to feel better with less pain.

    Not sure where to set my goal this month. :huh: Changed work hours (again) but I also have a week long vacation that will include a lot of hiking.:bigsmile: I know myself well enough not to set it too far out of reach. :ohwell:

    OK, put me down for 150 miles. Mostly walking and hiking but I do have the bike to help add miles.

    And add me to the list of THANK YOU's to the mods for keeping this board running and the spreadsheet updated. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: We may not say it enough, but we really do appreciate all that you do. I for one really do count on this group to keep me going and remind me not to give up when things get tough. Again, THANK YOU! :flowerforyou:

    My son has left home and taken the exercise bike with him - I'm gutted!! I actually looked forward to my daily 10 minutes - it was a fabulous way to start the day.

    We intend to replace it with something - possibly an elliptical. In the meantime I'm going to bid for 150 FitBit miles.

    Here's to a fabulous September - and ???????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????? for the moderators.

    My goal this month is 150 miles! I have a triathlon, so there will be a few more rest days than last month. Excited! Thank you again!

    .. my goal for this month will be 80 running miles! Lowering it this month since I have missed my goal the last few months!!! Probably won't get out much during the week now that the nights are getting shorter so it will be the gym for me! Considering I can no longer go more than 3 miles on a treadmill without wanting to literally die I would imagine that I won't get too many miles in while at the gym ... I am going to take some classes though. The new programme is starting up & it looks good!

    Thanks for keeping this (and me) going ...
