Giving Thanks and Getting Fit - November Exercise Challenge!!

[Dentam]

Welcome to the November Exercise Challenge!!!
If you’re returning, we’re excited to have you back! If you’re new, welcome to the team!

This is how it works:

You choose a time goal (as much or as little as you want), and then you post minutes toward that goal as you exercise. (You can post every day, or just whenever you can.) All sorts of movement counts! You can set a monthly goal that means something to you, or calculate your goal based on a target number of minutes per day. Since November has 30 days, here are some popular conversions:

10 minutes/day = 300
15 minutes/day = 450
20 minutes/day = 600
30 minutes/day = 900

One of the special motivations of our Disney challenge is color changing! Page one will be updated with individual and team color changes as we make more and more progress. This month the colors are inspired by Thanksgiving food and drinks (don't worry - most are pretty healthy in moderation!):

Sparkling Water Blue 10%
Pumpkin Pie Orange 25%
Merlot Wine Purple 50%
Golden Turkey Brown 75%
Cranberry Sauce Red 90%
Green Peas WISH Green 100%

I'll be posting photos to celebrate our accomplishments and to keep us motivated along the way!!

**I'd also like to encourage everyone to post one thing they are thankful for each Sunday, starting on November 1st. Feel free to include photos.

The challenge officially starts on November 1st, but if you don’t find this thread until later in the month, you’re still welcome to join! Just post your goal and I’ll add you to the list.

Great theme!! Thanks so much for hosting!

I'm in for 1100 in November.

 

[SarahDisney]

I'm going to continue to be ambitious and try for 2000 minutes

I love the theme! Especially because I love peas, so I'm going to keep working towards that level ... unless I get stuck at Merlot.

 

[swissfamilyrobinson]

I'm in for 900 again. I love the theme! Thank you for hosting!

 

[snels]

Count me in. I will go for 1000 minutes. When do you want me to post my progress?

 

[DVCFan1994]

I'm in. I have Avengers weekend (doing the 5k, 10k and the half) mid month, so I'll be in my final training weeks and then recovery. But, previous race cycles I've been known to turn "recovery" into "rest" and fall off the wagon completely for a while. So, I'm going to aim high to try to keep myself moving. I'll go for 1750 this month.

Thanks for hosting @Dentam!

... unless I get stuck at Merlot.

 

[LizardQueen8]

I'll be on vacation at DL in November, and even though that includes a 5K, I don't know how much I'll count for the rest of that time (I normally only count official exercise minutes). So I'm going to be conservative and go for 1000 minutes.

 

[2manypets]

I'm in for 1,000. Going in for surgery on the 9th, so won't do much walking that week and I'll have to build back up throughout the rest of November.

Thank you for hosting!!

 

[PollyannaMom]

I love the theme!!

November is a busy month for me, so I'm going to stick with 500 minutes again.

And welcome to anyone who is new this round!

 

[Dentam]

Count me in. I will go for 1000 minutes. When do you want me to post my progress?

You can post as often as you like. Some post daily and others whenever they are able to - it's up to you!

Glad you all like the theme!

 

[MaleficentEvilSister]

I have never seen these monthly challenges, but I am in! November is a big month for me with many birthday celebrations including my own but I need to keep myself accountable and this may just do the trick! I am in for 1500 minutes.

 

[dvcmom14]

Put me down for 1,000 minutes! I need to get my butt back to the gym more regularly!

Please count me in, I had to skip October due to some physical issues but its time for me to get back to work! I will commit to 1000 minutes , and if I do more than that then I know that my body and I are back in communication with each other and we are friends again!

Thanks for hosting Dentam!

 

[Rattpack]

Thanks for hosting! Going to take a step back in time this month. Running the Wine & Dine half, but I'll be at Disney for about a week for that and won't be running much else. Then I'll do some light training for a turkey trot on Thanksgiving. Going to say 800 minutes and see what happens.

 

[2TxAgs]

I'll shoot for 1100 again. Awesome theme! I love the idea of posting one thing we're thankful for each Sunday....
