Welcome to the January 2025 exercise thread! This month's theme is Fresh Starts... And what better "fresh start" than breakfast?! So, yes, January's theme will be Disney Breakfasts!

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 January 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% - Blueberry
25% - Cinnamon Roll
50% - Potato Barrel Purple
75% - POG Pink
90% - Mickey Waffle Red
100% - Griddle Green


We’re officially starting this challenge on January 1, 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.

Maybe you're nothing like me and breakfast for you means coffee. If you are a coffee fiend at Disney, you have a few choices, one of which is Joffrey's. Did you know that 2025 will mark the 30th year of their collaboration with Walt Disney World? Here is an article about their fascinating history!

I'm not a fan of breakfast but Disney is the exception! SO many yummy options. I'm in for 600 this month. Last month ended with my family catching the flu. :( Took me a week to get back to working out, but I got in 60 minutes last night.

I've decided to stop fighting my love for this shoe and make it my running goal for 2025. I'm paying myself $1 for each mile I run, and when I finally earn enough these beauties will be mine.

Perfect for a "Queen of Hearts" costume, right? Or Cruella DeVil. Never too early to plan for Halloween. :)

Raya 60/600 - 10%
 
We love staying at the Westin Anaheim across from DLR in part because we get club access and thus free breakfast. But we still end up booking breakfast at Disney restaurants at least once a trip!

Raya, I thought both of those characters when I saw that shoe! I have been known to buy Halloween costume pieces in February before.

In for 1000 again.
 
Not making a goal because I don't ever follow through with those goals. So just doing what I can when I can.

Tried to walk quite a bit last spring, but I kept getting negative feedback from DW. So I stopped. Decided in the new year to try again. Just talked up and down my stairs for 10 minutes yesterday then did 6 pushups and 6 situps. I was hurting, but I guess you have to start some. It was only 15 minutes, but it was while she was not home (she was on her way home from work, so I didn't say anything to her about it). Looking to continue doing that type of stuff. Small steps.

Welcome to the challenge! We're here cheering you on. Great job! It's hard to start things when you've had trouble in the past, so good on you! And remember, little by little a little becomes a lot. 6 is hard today, but someday it'll be easy. <3
 
35 minute run yesterday. I took the day off from the barn since it was my birthday. My daughter made the best dinner ever and a bday cake for me that reminds me of one my grandmother used to make. Then we went to the Wicked Sing Along, and after that we came home to enjoy our annual bday viewing of Frozen. It was a fun day!

I have 95 minutes of walking, yoga, and GrowwithJo as of this afternoon, which brings me to Blueberry! Twilight Sparkle, Raya, ShannyMcB, and the TEAM are all also Blueberry!

Blueberries remind me of one of my favorite grab-n-go breakfast items in WDW, the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Liberty Square!

I'm in - back to my usual 600. I've just been busy and forgot to post.

I love the breakfast theme!! - Mickey waffles are always a must when I go to WDW.
