Cruising the Jungle July 2025 Exercise Challenge

[Elizabeth Smith]

I'm finally on the board! My parents were in town for the holiday and I didn't make any time for exercise during the first week of the month. But I squeaked in a 15 minute walk on Monday (7/7).

Last but not . . . LOL. Like @Elizabeth Smith , I had a very busy start to July so I'm also late getting here. But I'm going to aim for 500 again this month. I can already add 150 minutes! We had a day in NYC - at The Frick Collection. If you ever get to NY, please put it on your 'must see' list. It's an incredible place - The Gilded Age come alive! The art is wonderful. And the house leaves you (at least, me) speechless. It was very disappointing the next morning not to be having breakfast surrounded by Fragonards. Mr. Frick knew how to spend his money!

Related to absolutely nothing, I was sharing this article with a friend, and figured y'all needed to know about it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27669068/ To sum: riding in the last car on Big Thunder Mountain RailRoad helps break up kidney stones.

Cheers to Raya and BonnieF for moving up (or in BonnieF's case jumping right in) to Orange!!!!

And let's hear it for everyone having points on the board and the team being only 1% away from its next color change! Way to go, all!

Anyone live near a Wetzel's Pretzels? You can thank former Skipper Rick Wetzel for them. Skipper Rick also cofounded Blaze Pizza.

We went to the Frick when we were in NY in May. Love the house and the art (but it was so crowded I couldn’t really enjoy the art as much as I would have liked). Same problem with the Morgan Library, unfortunately.

Another 91 for me for the past couple of days walks.

Total = 450/1500

You must've gotten there just as it reopened - I heard it was a mob scene. It was busy on Sunday, but manageable. And I think the Morgan has been 'discovered' - another one of my favorites. I worked across the street when I was in college, at B.Altman which is sadly gone now.
Adding 35 minutes for today.

I learned from that fun fact video that Hong Kong Disneyland has a separate queue for English-speaking guests so they can experience the attraction's jokes! (Cantonese and Mandarin queues, too.) Now I know that if I'm ever in HK, I can enjoy at least some of the attractions in a language I understand! I think that's super cool! How international!

+40 minutes of walking for 7/10

My new Haunted Mansion merch arrived! I'm in love with the Mansion blueprint tshirt (so soft!) and the purple flocked backpack (so pet-able!) but really torn about the new Haunted Mansion Dooney & Bourke bag. It looked white with a black online, or maybe even ivory... but it's actually got yellow-green undertones. I'm a matchy-matchy girl and I could never wear this with white clothes or shoes. But can I really miss out on a Haunted Mansion Dooney????

Meanwhile +60 of gym time.

Raya 330/800 - 41%

We have been trying to walk at lunch and later in the day. It was a bit cooler the last couple of day so we got out more. Today will be just the afternoon. We went around the block and it was just too hot. We will go for a much better walk after the sun starts to go down.
