Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the AUGUST 2025 Move Your @$$ 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 & Janet!

    I hope everyone is doing well and surviving the weather & air. We can see the smoke all the way down here and the smell pretty strong, with the air quality is just awful. I hope you all stay safe out there and take care if you have breathing issues.

    Please put me down for 25 miles.

    Hey everyone my 12 yo blue heeler border collie ended up needing some emergency surgery at the end of the month that kind of took up my computer time. He is on the mend and I am back to normal. The storms have had my migraines all flared along with a lack of sleep due to dosing his pain meds. I at least made miles for July. To say the least.

    Put me in for the same 105 miles. Please and thank you 😊

    I need to close out July so here goes. Total 28 miles walking for July. Now for August please put me in for 25 miles. It's time to address my left knee. So my first Pre-OP appt is scheduled in 2 weeks. Looks like surgery will be around middle of September. Then I will be bionic in both legs!

    @anaconda469 good luck with pre op appointment. Good thoughts your way.

    Thanks guys. Demon dog is doing well. He is minus about 3 teeth and is at least abcess free. I am determined that he is going to live his best life. He's been a good dog the last 3 years I really would love for him to have a few more really good years.

    @CPANUS - I love the idea of Elves! Except I don't have any close to me this time of year. Maybe a little photoshop action. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

    @JANET - We're driving to a friend's cabin for the weekend. It's about 2 hours away and I was kinda thinking about wearing my Santa hat for the drive just to see what kind of looks I might get on the road… 😉😁😄

    @CLEPANT - Thank you!

    Happy Friday! Have a great weekend, everyone!
