Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the December 2022 Move Your @$$ 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.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

    Thanks Dave and Janet!
    Janet, hope things are going better with your home in Florida and you are making some headway.
    Dave the knee looks good or should I say both. You will need to give me pointers when it’s time for mine. I like your meme, although I don’t think I can get in the right position to take a selfie of my backside.
    Going 125 miles. I lost my visiting I yr old lab pup after a month’s stay. He kept me moving. Although we are debating on adopting one of the puppies from the pair I always dog sit. Not sure if I will get long walks in with him or her, so I will stick to 125 for now.

    Happy December folks!

    Dec. 1: 5.25 miles of walking

    I'm in for 30.

    @Dave, thanks for the tech support. I'll give it a shot. That's how it always worked for me, I've always logged on my desktop since I can't see <insert poop emoji> on the phone. It's just weird that it's doing that since it's the same computer, browser and nothing has changed.

    PS - you have cute knees :smiley:

    I have 240 to complete my goal of 2022 miles this year... so this months goal is 240. i guess lifting will have to take a back seat.

    Sorry Dave and Janet. I couldn't get onto MYAC for a few days. MFP wouldn't let me in. Have just brought November up to date. I still can't get in by my normal route but Sussexbythesea said she got in via 'groups' so I managed to do this.

    Going for 70 miles again this month please. I never know how my knees will perform. Waiting for two new knees and a new hip. 14 months to wait on the waiting list

    Congratulations going out to @Leanz on making her November goal. Emergency surgery doesn't sound good - hope you are on the mend!

    @tahm42 - I couldn't update your November total because it was overwritten by your December ticker. If you give us the November total we'll update it for you. Thanks
