APRIL 2014 - Move Your @SS Challenge

Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the April 2014 Move Your *kitten* Challenge. See the directions below.

"The first MYAC thread was in November 2010 and has been going strong and growing more and more each month. It's hard to believe that we have been going strong for over 3 years now. That's pretty freaking awesome if I do say so myself." --Bluiz13

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 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 Tuesday, April 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 remember DO NOT post any March miles here. We will update the March spreadsheet once everyone has reported their March miles to the March thread - Please add only your April 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 <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. :bigsmile:

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:

    I'm going to go out on a limb here. Put me down for 400 miles in April. I know we are a day short with only 30 days, but the weather should be warming and I think i can do it if I really push.

    I really fell off in March!!! I'm hoping the weather will improve in April so I can get outside more. I'm going for 105 miles.

    I'm back! I'm going to go back to counting only exercise miles, not fitbit miles, and my goal is 100. Let's hope the weather cooperates.

    I'm up 30 pounds and really trying to decide if I want to quit trying :-(

    Please put me down for 40 miles during April - I HAVE to do something, feeling disgusted with myself. Hope I snap out of this rut.

    I know that I have been pretty non-existent in March, but I have to get back on the ball in April. So I'm in for 200. Hopefully, it will go better than March!!!

    I'm going to switch focus a bit this month. I've been concentrating hard on spin classes, but this month, I want to kick my running up a bit - so my mileage is going to decrease from last month - but I still plan to work out just as hard - just differently.

    April goal: 180 miles.

    Hi everyone I have still been moving the last 3 weeks . Those Gulf state shopping malls helped me rack up some miles but as I'm now in South Africa I have to get my fit bit to symnch to see how far I got! Still here 2 more weeks so April target is going to be 50 miles.
