Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the Octobber 2018 Move Your *kitten* 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 OCTOBER 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 (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?
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.
)
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 at least once a day. Don't hold us to that though.

Welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay and that you find this helpful in realizing your fitness goals!

Thanks Janet for your amazing story on September’s thread. Small world for sure. What an amazing story.
Vhuber: Your situation nearly brought me to tears.Praise God for his blessings. My mantra: I am here by God’s appointing, in His keeping, for His purpose and in His time. It all works for His good. I will keep him in prayer. Hope your head is feeling better.

Please put me down for 75 miles this month.
I want to thank all of you who reached out to me after my "vent" last week. Your kind words brought me to tears.
@clepant you gave me the same advice that I am always telling people that are feeling overwhelmed. I just needed to hear it from someone else. Thank you so much. "Eating that elephant one bite at a time" is the only way to deal with difficult things.
@kar328 I went with my daughter-in-law to an AA support group meeting on Saturday. I think that will be helpful to me. I am going to continue to go. When my daughter lost her first baby, someone at the hospital took pictures for her. I am unsure if it is the group that you mentioned or not. I am going to look into it for her. The peace that I have is that those sweet babies go from the warmth and comfort of their mama's womb straight to the arms of Jesus. Thank you so much for your kind words.
@JTH11706 thank you so much for your words of encouragement. That is awesome about seeing your Paris friend!
@anaconda469 Congratulations on 7 years! I know that it isn't easy.
@vhuber I will be praying for your son. It is a huge step for him to admit he has a problem. My son went to the doctor after he admitted that he is an alcoholic and was diagnosed with OCD and depression. The medication that the doctor gave him seems to be helping. I found out this weekend that he was laid off from his job about 2 weeks ago. I think that they all thought that I was stressed enough and didn't tell me. However, he went through a stressful event and didn't drink. For that, I am thankful.
Thanks again to all of you. I am sure that I didn't mention everyone that said kind words of encouragement. I didn't intend to leave anyone out. Even though I didn't mention you specifically, I do really appreciate you. This group is awesome!

Clp212: I hope things start looking up. I believe as you that those babies are in heaven.
Today, my husband got hearing aids. He has the tinnitus for years and his hearing has been getting worse to the point of getting a bit angry at me so I found and audiologist, scheduled him an appointment and told him he was going. No matter what they cost, we can’t put a price on eyesight or hearing. To see his voice lower to a normal talking voice and to see his reactions as he heard rustling paper, fans turning on and the stammering of our dog’s feet across the kitchen floor was watching a miracle in front of my eyes. I can not believe something so small can be such a powerful tool.
Oct. 1: Adding 10 miles of walking 4 miles and cycling 6 months.
TTD: 10 miles

4 on foot today! I think I picked up a bug from my grandsons. Last night I was running a low grade temp & had a headache that lasted ALL night. Today I just felt yuck but the furries & I got in 4 miles walking. It was actually sunny, no wind & mid 50's. Gotta wear orange now so the hunters won't shoot me!!!

@Clepant - It's amazing how much the right hearing aids can help. They filter noise rather than just amplify it.
@vhuber - I'm wearing HiViz yellow and people still don't see me. There was a rancher not too far from you that was painting "Horse", "Cow", and "Pig" on his livestock in big white letters. I think it happened after the guy from California shot the llama and put a deer tag on it. 0 -
Please put me down for 90 this month - thank you!0
