Dazzling December 2023 Exercise Thread

[Elizabeth Smith]

Welcome to the December 2023 exercise thread! This month's theme is going to be "dazzling" and we'll figure out what that means together as the month goes on. (I'm winging it!)

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 December has 31 days, here are some common conversions:

15 minutes/day = 465
20 minutes/day = 620
30 minutes/day = 930
45 minutes/day = 1395
1 hour/day = 1860

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% - Brilliant Blue
25% - Overwhelming Orange
50% - Pearlescent Purple
75% - Popping Pink
90% - Radiant Red
100% - Glowing Green

We’re officially starting this challenge on December 1st (or 4th, we're a little late...), 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.

I exercised for 25 minutes on December 1st and 40 minutes today, bringing me to 65/600 minutes and Brilliant Blue!

To celebrate this, how about we reminisce on Mickey and Minnie's outfits from the 50th Celebration at WDW, which were sort of sparkly blue. (Is this going to be how I interpret the theme this month? Sharing sparkly, themed Disney pictures? Please weigh in on what you guys would like this month. I'm at a bit of a loss, lol.)

And pictures of fireworks and nighttime shows. From what I’ve seen online, that drone show at Disneyland Paris is pretty dazzling!

 

[BonnieF]

I found you!!! Better late than never! Love the sparkly idea! I'm in for 450 this month and I've done 45 minutes so far.

Thanks for picking up December, @Elizabeth Smith! I'm in for 500 minutes and love all the various dazzle ideas. (I think keeping the theme loose is perfect for the busy month of December!)

+60 minutes since I last posted.
And many color changes!
sophy1996 and livih99 have both reached Overwhelming Orange
Twilight Sparkle, BonnieF, and PollyannaMom are all Brilliant Blue!
The TEAM is also BLUE!

Here is the drone show from Disneyland Paris. I see Orange and Blue sparkles (and many other colors) present in the show. I would love to see more drones integrated into the nighttime spectaculars around the world! They really create a magical effect.

I agree! A cruise vlogger we follow was on a cruise that was sent off from a Japanese port with an amazing drone show. More drone elements in Disney shows, please!

I have 10 minutes to add for the night.

So, I checked out shop Disney's jewelry selection and hit sort by price, High to Low.

For only $14,000, you can have this Disney engagement ring! (For an additional $900, you can have the wedding band too). I suppose it's Tangled inspired? I actually quite like opals, but I'm not sure about the polka-dot vibe. Would you ever get a Disney engagement/wedding ring?

I wouldn’t get a $14k ring, but I did have a Disney wedding dress. Snow White-inspired.
