Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the MAY 2024 Move Your @$$ 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?
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.
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.

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!

@ANACOND469 - That's a GREAT picture of your knee!!!! So glad to see you're on the healing side of a knee operation!! And the single most important piece of advice I have for you is to make sure you do all of your PT (stretching & strengthening) and on the schedule they recommend. 'Nuff said.
Speaking of surgery, my wife's heel bone spur/achhilles surgery went great this morning. Same thing she had done on her other heel last year. She should be good-to-go now! I get to return the favor of her waiting on me and taking care of me through 3 big surgeries with long recoveries and 1 easy surgery with a short recovery. This is only her 2nd surgery. I still have a long ways to go!
Have a superb weekend, everyone!

Fortunately we got all the spring yard work done at my son's house yesterday, because today it rained nonstop. So that gave us a chance to finish lots of projects indoors. His new house is coming along nicely. And honestly I was pleased he asked me to help him with the garden. I was also happy to discover the previous owner had planted lots of lilacs, forsythia, peonies and lilies so there wasn't a lot we needed to add. No exercise miles for me today even though I do have 10,000 steps.1 -
@Janet:Such a great helper and mom. As a master gardener, I alway recommend folks take the first year to watch what comes up in their yard before digging up. See where the sun rises and sets during different seasons and what gets full sun or shade and what areas tend to be wet or dry. The first year, I dug 18 inches of dirt piled around my oaks and removed the pacasandra they planted on top to expose the trunk flare. I removed invasive privet and Ivy. I waited through all seasons and found wonderful surprises like trilliums coming up in the spring and other goodies.
May 5: 5.55 miles walking (rain out)
