March 2026 Exercise Thread - Wearin' o' the Disney Green

[luvpoohandcompany]

Loved the latest update about Jiminy Cricket and how he came about. I did not know any of that info. I love the Pinocchio movie.
I also love that this thread is encouraging me to make the effort to do a walk every day
40 minutes walk Saturday and 20 on Sunday for a total of 255/620

30 minutes yesterday and 20 so far today brings me to 265/700.

Congratulations to clappyclaps on reaching orange!!


The team has just 227 minutes to go to reach orange as well.


Today's Green-wearing Disney character is Mulan:


(She wears several different outfits in the animated film, but she's in green on the header of her official Disney Princess page, so I'm including her.)

Here is some Mulan trivia:

425/1000

We took a little trip down to Santa Fe, NM. A little art and culture, a little (or a lot of) delicious food, and a little hiking in the hills.

I need to know what all of this actually is? Looks great!

This was a few years ago, but to the best of my recollection:

Top pic: an Easter dessert with a meringue-like (?) bunny topping (we still have that cup as a souvenir); a flower-shaped sugar cookie; a bone-shaped bun/pastry (maybe a red bean-type filling?); another Easter jello/pudding; a Mike W. bun; and a chocolate brownie Mickey head.

Bottom pic: a mousse and cake dome dessert and a Mike W cookie (maybe a cookie sandwich?)

Didn’t get much of a proper walk yesterday as I was helping my daughter decluttering her kids rooms but today I did 45 minutes walking along the towpath beside the River Lagan, mostly trying to catch up with my granddaughter on her balance bike
300/620

 

[PollyannaMom]

I got in another walk yesterday afternoon (45 min) and a shorter one today 20 min) for 330/700.

Congrats to sophy1996 and the TEAM on turning orange!!


Today's green Disney character is Heimlich, from A Bug's Life:




Heimlich was voiced by Joe Ranft (click on his name for his IMDb page) - who was not just a voice actor, but a writer and artist on some of your favorite Disney/Pixar films as well! He sadly passed away in a car crash in 2005.


Heimlich is most likely a promethea silkmoth:

Did you know you can also spot Heimlich in Toy Story 2? -
He's crawling on some branches when Buzz is chopping his way through them, is available as a toy in Al's Toy Barn, and has a close-up talking to Flik in the ‘outtakes” at the end (explaining to Flik that the sequel isn’t about A Bug’s Life.)

Tink is my mom's favorite character. So much so that when mom turned 75 she got a tinkerbell tattoo that stretches from her wrist to her elbow! I have many pleasant "searching for Tink stuff for mom" park memories.
