Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the October 2021 Move Your @$$ 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? :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. :lol:

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. :grin:

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

    It’s not going to be a good month. I’ll be pulling every shift for three weeks straight. That’s 120 hours per week for three weeks. I’ll do what I can but put me in for 100. I think I can hit that. If I’m lucky I’ll get some responses to the SOS I sent out to the local vets for some help.

    5.6 miles on the bike. This annoying heel pain is going to make me use the bike for a while. Trying out some KT tape to see if that helps.

    Got my Covid Booster on Friday :smiley: Side effects were just a little more than the second dose, headache, muscle aches and a 99.7 temp. I did do Bootcamp and TRX yesterday morning but as the day went on, I knew what I was feeling wasn't from the classes, they weren't that hard. Overall not bad and highly worth it, but I was glad I did it on a day off.

    I was hoping for a longer hike today but the breaks in the rain only let me get out for two shorter walks. Took the chance to chase the spiders from my laundry room back outside.

    Added 7.5 miles over the weekend.
