Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the August 2020 Move Your @$$ 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. )

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.

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

    Put me in for 300. Ambitious considering we’re moving clinics but I’ll give it a go. :smile:

    Busy day today! I went on an 11.1 mile bike ride around noon and then this afternoon some good friends came over and my sweetie and I went on a brisk 3.3 mile walk with them.

    Starting off August with a bang! MTD 14.4 miles

    I'm in for 50 again this month. Too much uncertainty (and heat) to up my goal this month. Starting off with a slow, hot 3 mile run this morning.

    And here's a shout out to @cmvt4 , @tahm42 and @KariD1114 for completing their July goals.

    @cpanus - way to crush your goal last month! Glad you are feeling better.

    ... I’ll try for 100 miles in August! Already behind as no moving today but will make up for when on vacation next week 😄😉!

    I will do 100 again. With it being harvest season, having the grandsons till the 19th & my foot still bothering me I'll be glad if I can pull 100 off!! My fitbit shows anywhere from 17,000 to 20 some thousand steps at bedtime. I am drained but they are mostly moving miles not intentional miles.

    Got in 3 miles walking with Georgie this morning before t got to hot. I will get a ticker up tomorrow.

    I'll go for 45 again.

    @k80flec I close on the new home tomorrow which is when the hurricane is supposed to be here in NC. I'm inland enough not to get the brunt of it, last I looked at any weather reports. I'm just hoping it's all done by moving on Tuesday.
