No-Theme November Exercise Thread

[Raya]

I've watched so many videos of the new Olaf that I had a dream of him singing "When you're older absolutely everything makes sense!" Thankfully a long hike in the woods chased it away. +65 minutes.

Raya 707/900 -78%

Congratulations to Raya for turning Pink! And the TEAM is so close to turning Red . . .

Happy Thanksgiving here in the U.S.! Disney chefs prepared 1,000 Thanksgiving meals for folks in need. Apparently Buzz Lightyear (in balloon form) was spotted in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And for the first time in 5 years, high school marching bands returned to perform at WDW this week.

+ 110 for my usual walks towards the team total!

Is everyone happy for me to take on December as I suggested last month? Anyone else is more than welcome! But if not I can get the thread up in the next day or so

Yes, please! I think we all would appreciate that!

 

[Elizabeth Smith]

Happy Belated Thanksgiving, everyone. When I asked what Charles would like to thank God for, he answered "food" then more specifically "eat meat." So I guess I'm not raising a vegan!

I have 70 minutes for the holiday. A 60-minute digestion walk. And 10 minutes of yoga.

Evening all,

Just letting you know I've gotten myself organised and set up the December thread now:

62 minutes, mostly walking, but we'll call it running. It's strange to come back to running after 10+ years. I remember when what I did today was nothing, but I'm super proud of what I did today. Odd to feel both at the same time.

Raya 769/900 -85%

 

[PollyannaMom]

25 minutes of yoga Wednesday and 20 minutes of treadmill walking today

675/800

 

[Elizabeth Smith]

40 minutes for Black Friday. Walking and yoga.

540/600

 

[Raya]

My fitbit says 34 minutes today. My back says we did push ups for a million years.

Raya 803/900 - 89%

 

[Elizabeth Smith]

I have 25 minutes for Saturday. I procrastinated all my tasks for the day, so I ended up marching in place while I folded laundry to try and compensate.

565/600

 

[Alicatt]

Great month everyone even though it looks like it's been busy for all of us.
11/24 60 min
11/27 45 min
11/28 40 min
11/29 55 min
200 min for the week. Unfortunately I will be stuck in a car all day so I won't make my goal. I will do 10 minutes before I leave to end at 700/800.
There's always next month!

Lots more color changes!



PollyannaMom is Pink
Elizabeth Smith is Red
Raya is Pink
Alicatt is Pink
ShannyMcB is Pink
I (sophy1996) am Red

And the TEAM is 99.3% = RED! (Thanks, clappyclaps, for adding to the team total! And for hosting December.)

If you have any final minutes, post them and I will add them. I'll leave you with the astounding news that Zootopia 2 grossed more than HALF A BILLION DOLLARS this long weekend. It was China's highest-grossing Hollywood animated movie, breaking a record set by the original Zootopia. I guess there is a reason Zootopia Land was situated in Shanghai Disney!

 

[Elizabeth Smith]

I'm ending the month with 35 minutes on my walking pad. See you all in the December thread!

600/600

 

[PollyannaMom]

Minutes from the last couple of days:
Sat-11/29 - 15
Sun-11/30 - 20

For a grand total of 710/800.

Thanks for hosting @sophy1996!

I never realised Zootopia was so popular until I went to China! The amount of Zootopia merch in Shanghai is crazy.

I can add another 189 for my usual walks and exercise from Thursday to Sunday to the team total.

Thanks for hosting @sophy1996!!

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully there won't be many cases happening since it is a holiday month. The calendar for mine started with about 20 possibilities and has whittled down to 5 now. The first two are doozies, though. One is a 2 week trial, and the other is 4 weeks. Both deal with subject matter I really, really don't want to sit through. I also worry the 4 week case might sequester the jury. I have to start calling in daily on Friday to see if I have to appear. Really makes it hard to plan the month, and it is stressing all of us out - especially my husband who is supposed to be out of town for work a few times in December and relies on me to handle things here. I was hoping he could drive me, too, so I wouldn't have to worry about parking, but that doesn't seem like it's going to work out. If I get put on a big case, the huge problem will be the horses. Particularly one that needs several meds each day. I'm not at a full service barn, so about 95% of their care comes from me. It is very expensive to pay someone to take over, too. I budget that in for vacation, but paying someone for an entire month would be very costly. Hopefully I don't get put on that one! If I do and end up sequestered, I guess we'll be having our holidays in January. Wishing you good luck!!! Hope you don't get chosen and if you do, you have a very short trial!

This is my fear. I don't want to sequestered. I don't know what is going on in the county as we can't look at the trials coming up. I don't think we have anything major. I understand about the barn. My grandparents owned a farm. My mom grew up with having horses, cowns, chickens and pigs. They lived off of the farm. By the time I was born, my grandfather had horses and my grandmother breed and showed dogs. It is a lot of work. DD took riding lessons at a barn that hired the kids to work it basically. They volunteered to help and once they got so many hours then they could have a free ride for an hour. Once they were 15 or 16 then they could work to get a paycheck. It has to be a lot. Crossing my fingers that either you don't get called or are on an easier one. I don't call until the 12th.

First of all, how fun it must have been to grow up around your grandparents! Secondly, thanks! I did avoid the two long trials. Those started this week and I have yet to be called in. Having to call daily still stinks, but I think I've broken the calendar code and the next possibility for having to show up would be Monday the 8th. Looks like they try to seat jurors and start trials on Mondays here. Only 2 short cases this coming Monday and one short case on the 15th. Those are the only trials still left. Others have changed months or entered plea deals. I'd like to get called in now just to get it over with and stop the daily call ins so I can plan beyond one day at a time. I don't mind being on a one or two day trial. Just didn't want one of those first two and now I'm safe. Hopefully things go well for you, too.
