November 2022 Exercise Challenge "Celebrate the Season"

[Elizabeth Smith]

to the November 2022 exercise thread!

If you’re returning, we’re excited to have you back! If you’re new, welcome to the team! Here’s how it works:

Each person chooses a time goal and posts minutes towards that goal as they exercise. You can post daily or just catch up when you can. You decide what movement counts towards your goal - which can be a nice round total for the month, a specific number that means something to you, or a calculation based on a target number of minutes per day. Since November has 30 days, here are some common conversions:

15 minutes/day = 450
20 minutes/day = 600
30 minutes/day = 900
45 minutes/day = 1350
1 hour/day = 1800

Since November is the start of the Holidays and the month of Thanksgiving, we'll be looking at fun Disney ways to celebrate the season!

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.

10% -Bountiful Blue
25% -Candy Corn Orange
50% -Pilgrim Purple
75% -Pie Pink
90% -Ribbon Red
100% -Gratitude Green

We’re officially starting this challenge November 1st, but if you don’t find the thread until later in the month, you’re still welcome to join!! There's no better time than the present to start toward your goals! Just post your goal and I’ll add you to the list. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions and to check out old threads to see what’s been going on.

[Oneanne]

I'm in for 900 minutes this month. I'm in countdown mode for my early December trip to WDW and really need to get these legs and feet in to shape!

 

[PollyannaMom]

I'm in for my usual 600 minutes!

 

[piglet1979]

I am in for 600 minutes. I was going to join late in October (like a week in) because only my medical stuff had gotten figured out but then I got covid and that wiped me out for most of the month. I am finally feeling back to myself. My mom and I also decided to walk a mile each day and I am in physical therapy for 3 months. Both of these should help me get my time.

 

[sophy1996]

I'm in for 1200 again. We are doing a short Disney cruise this month and I'll need to walk a lot to offset all the yummy treats!

Starting with 50/1200

Glad you're recovering!

I'm trying to get back on the horse this month, but I want to set sustainable goals. I'm in for 500.

 

[piglet1979]

DH and I went for a walk at lunch and I did my stretches for PT.

[Twilight Sparkle]

I'm in for 1800 again. Starting the month off with 195 minutes, all horses, and I'm paying for it today. Ouch.

195/1800

Thanks for picking up November, @Elizabeth Smith ! The theme is especially perfect timing since DD and I are heading to WDW in Dec. I'll be taking notes for our trip! : )

 

[Elizabeth Smith]

I took a 25 minute walk in the park today! We brought the doggy along this time.
Twilight Sparkle kicked things off this month by being the first color change, becoming Bountiful Blue!

For today's Disney-themed holiday activity, how about a coloring page placemat for the dinner table?

I think this would be fun for kids or adults!

 

[piglet1979]

Adding 20 minutes. Went for a walk on lunch. I didn't do my PT last night because I got a pretty bad headache.

[Bethislucy]

I'm in for 1000 this month maybe I'll actually make it. I missed last month it got crazy busy and I got lazy.

 

[Oneanne]

+ a whopping 60 minutes for yesterday!

60/900... 6%

Also looking forward to the thread topic, as I'm headed to WDW early December.

 

[Oneanne]

My highest day ever! I have another goal to do 10,000 steps at least four days per week and it takes a lot of time to get them in plus do yoga.

+90
150/900... 17%

 

[Raya]

25 minutes walking. Had my Annual Review today, and I earned a bonus of 4 days off! I immediately started planning a Disney trip! If I pick the right week those 4 days off could get me 9 Disney Days!

25/500 - 5%

 

[Twilight Sparkle]

35 minutes - pahla b full body with weights workout + swept the deck of leaves - - was trying to get a good arm workout in last night since I got the bivalent booster but the video and sweeping was not as good of a workout as horses and barn chores. My arm is sore today and it hasn't been whenever I do a barn day after the shots. : ( Luckily, that's the worst of it so far, though, so I'll take it.

Oneanne reached Bountiful Blue today!

While perusing the internet this evening, I found this lovely Disney DIY wreath idea, with interchangeable foliage for different seasons:

Here, the creator has shown their wreath decked out for fall, but this could easily swap to a Christmas wreath with some pine cones, red and green ribbon, and holly.

I'm adding 25 minutes for the evening of core workout and yoga. 50/700
