Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the APRIL 2023 Move Your @$$ 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

    This was my first walk of the month so I'm already behind schedule, but I'm hoping to make it up by Saturday.

    5.25 miles on the treadmill this morning.

    Is it possible to have my goal streak corrected to 76 for the April spreadsheet? Just a sense of personal pride for me to see I've made goal every month. :) Thank you, Janet and Dave!!

    And also making GOAL for MARCH is @KARID1114 and @TAHM42!! :drinker: Sorry about your posts being missed as well! I still don't know what happened. But hey, if anybody else's final mileage for last month isn't correct, please let Janet or I know so we can get it fixed!

    @KARID1114 - Regarding the "GOAL STREAK" number, I usually don't get those updated until the 5th of the month or so....which is tomorrow. :lol: But NO PROBLEM, I don't mind you mentioning it. I'm really glad someone is looking at the spreadsheet. :smiley:

    Hi everyone. The messed up March numbers were my fault, not Dave's. I still don't know what I did but somehow I got it horribly wrong. Perhaps we should add to the instructions that not only will we update the spreadsheet at random times, but that sometimes we'll update it with random numbers! :D

    I'm at 10/50 ... I think, hahaha!

    @JANET - LOL, I like that! Random numbers...that'll keep them on their toes! :lol: I'm going to repeat my post here of what I put in the March thread for you because I want to make sure you see it. :blush:

    "No sweat, Janet. Lord knows I'm far from perfect and it could've been something I did as well. In any case, it's all good now! I absolutely appreciate all of the help you give me each month! A huge THANK YOU goes out to you!!" :flowerforyou:
