Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the MARCH 2024 Move Your @$$ 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

    Starting to lift weights and do yoga in preparation of getting back on the bike. I'm thinking positive. The doctor is going to say I can start riding on a trainer starting Wednesday. :smile:

    @Dean: I sure hope you get the all cleared for the next stage.

    Well I am on dog walking for my neighbor starting tomorrow. She had surgery and is not allowed to walk him, and her lab will not do his business in the yard. So she is walking along while I walk her pup.

    @sufferlandrian - fingers crossed you are back on two feet. But just in case, try to keep in mind that this too shall pass, and one day soon it will not matter.

    My day went sideways and I didn't get any exercise. Oh well, there's tomorrow, right?

    @janet. I hate when my day gets highjacked. I know tomorrow is another day but it’s still frustrating. Hopefully what happened today isn’t real bad and tomorrow will go as planned.

    @Dean: She had some major surgery and is just getting her strength back. They want her to walk but no lifting and.no dog pulling. I picked up the poop as I did not want her straining anything. They have three dogs and her hubby was suppose to walk him, but he hasn’t. When my neighbor and I volunteered, suddenly he wants to do it. I told her he is more than welcome to walk him, buI told his wife, I am fine walking Jake. He doesn’t pull at all like Brinkley and he loves the Happy Howie Meat Roll treats I bring. I feel like I am walking my old pups again. I found a new friend.

    March 5: 8.16 miles of for dog walks today.

    Rehab begins! Disappointed that I could only do 20 Watts for five minutes but that's better than no Watts for 0 minutes. :smile:

    That puts me on the board with 0.5 miles out of 50. :smile:
