Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the May 2021 Move Your @$$ 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?
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 a day or so. Don't hold us too tightly 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!

Please put me down for 100kms. Lighter mileage so I don't overdo it while barefoot, and it is winter coming here
Thank you Dave and Janet for the job you do keeping us on track0 -
I'm going to drop to 30. Dietitian wants me to focus on weights and less cardio and see what that does to this stubborn body that likes to hold on to the fat.0

May goal -- 350.
Weather is starting to cooperate.0 -

Good luck to everyone...😊0 -
Thank you again for keeping us afloat each month. Keep me at 150. I hope I can get some cycling this month. It is back to the garden.
Funny I was looking at the stats for projected miles and actual completed over the years and even though we have managed to keep consistent, I definitely see a decline in amount. I know I have cut back my mikes by half due to my knees and back issues. We are definitely slowing down...lol.0 -

Are you going to be heading to CA to see your mother soon? I hope she is coping through all this. My MIaL ‘s assisted living is opening up as back to normal May 5th. It has me a bit concerned. I hope they know what they are doing. We have not seen her since January 2020.

Thank you both for your hard work with this group - it’s really appreciated.
I’m striving for 70 again this month.
Me and him indoors have now both had both our Pfizer injections with little by way of side effects. The youngest of our two sons has now had his first - a call from his partners friend about unallocated vaccines and a quick journey to the vaccine hub! So very soon all my family will be done
In other excellent news, our Local Authority has given consent for parkrun to restart on 5th of June. We have a lot of work to do before then if we’re to be ready. I’m off to walk the course within the hour.2 -

Congratulations to @cpanus who has reached 100 move your @$$ challenges!
And congratulations as well to @belle_74 and @k80flec on making their April goals. k80flec, great news about the park run.
@clepant - yes I made it to California to see my mom. She's doing really well all things considered. She has Alzheimer's, but she was pretty sharp during my first visit, and she is happy which is huge. I was shedding tears of joy last night.2 -
