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

    Also looks like we have a great shot at hitting 900,000 total miles for the entire MYAC group this month! I'll actually be really surprised if we don't!

    Put me down for another 500. It's going to be tight. We just lost another vet so I'm back down to two. However, I think I can do it. :smile:

    In for 125 miles this month. Always happy to get more, but my left knee is swelling again. I think I have been pushing it too much.
    Thank you Dave and Janet for taking time to log our miles.

    I'm in for 20 miles this month. I will be almost two weeks on a ship going to Antarctica so I doubt I will be able to move much. But it should be an adventure of a lifetime!

    We arrived in Patagonia and promptly got a stomach bug that put us out of commission for 2 days, but we are feeling much better now. On the days before we got sick we were able to go fishing and I caught the biggest rainbow trout I have ever seen. This is not nearly a trophy here - they often get rainbows over 20 pounds!

    @Janet - enjoy Antarctica and know how very jealous I am!
    Please put me down for 180km, I am off the Australia and my triplet grandboys. Return from our holiday and finish packing - we are moving over! We could stay in NZ and walk the dog and read etc or go and be involved in the lives of those three boys. It's a no brainer!
    1 Dec 11.18km
    2 Dec 7.62km

    MTD 18.75/180km

    @Janet and Lenz. Wow, such adventures for both of you. A big exciting trip and a big move. Please keep us up on the trip Janet. That is one amazing trout. I don’t think I ever got near one that big in my life, Keep thr pics coming.
    Lenz, all the best in your move. I would say having your grandsons around you is a no-brainer.

    All the best to everyone for a good final month of the year.
    Dec. 1: 5.5 miles of walking. Still nursing my knee, but yesterday was smooth walking without a limp.
    TTD. 5.5 miles
