Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the December 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 DECEMBER 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? :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. :wink: )

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. :smile:

Directions for making a ticker:
Go to either www.lilyslim.com or 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

    I'm in for 50 this month. I'm going on vacation and while I expect lots of walking I don't expect a lot of "purposeful exercise" as I've seen it called. Here's to a great month!

    .. in for 70 this month! Hoping to hit the same as last month!

    Not too sure how it will go but am ‘planning’ to run a 10K the day after Christmas Day. Started off the month with a 5k race this morning that the local running club had organized. It was great fun. The starting time was based in our estimated finish time - slowest went first! It was great to be in the top 10 for once :) It was so strange coming into the finish and looking back at all the people chasing us :D

    Will get the ticker sorted tomorrow ...

    3/70 so far ...

    I am putting in for 150 miles. Not sure if I will be heading for surgery at the end of the month. Will know more next week. Honestly, I would just like to work on some rehab in the gym.
    Adding 15 miles for Dec.1: I walked 7 miles alone just passing out door packets in the rain for my church today. I hit 5 x my stair climbing goal. Also added 8 on the bike.
    TTD: 15

    Chris: Sure hope you get your clearance...keeping good thoughts.
    Vhuber: I honestly do not know how I kept things all together when I worked last year. I was not functioning on much sleep most of the time. I know that retiring was the best thing I could do even if it meant giving up doing something I truly loved..teaching kids. God has good things planned for me for sure.
