OOGIE BOOGIE October Exercise Challenge

So way back when I was starting to exercise or rather attemting to stick to an exercise routine (this was before I even joined the Dis not to mention these challenges), I tried this video that was difficult for me to even get through once. Today I revisited it and even though it is still a challenge I managed to do it 3 times. I guess I am getting stronger after all!

I gave away my own opinion by assigning this theme to October. But Henry Selick confirmed that Nightmare is a Halloween movie, not a Christmas movie.

I would have guessed the same given the name of the movie.

Should I admit that I have never actually seen The Nightmare Before Christmas?

You're not the only one. I have never seen it either. Just this year I became familiar with some of the songs because they were part of a Disney playlist I was listening to.
 
Congratulations to HappyGrape, PollyannaMom, kathleen27, and galaxygirl76 for turning Sally Blue, and to TimonTracy for becoming the second team member to turn Zero Orange!

It took more than 100 people about three years to make The Nightmare Before Christmas. Each second of film required up to 12 stop-action movements and shots! And characters had numerous heads to show different emotions.
 
This is awesome! What a great idea! :)

You're welcome to join!

That's spectacular!
 

Well shoot........I thought I posted minutes while I was on vacation but I sure don't see my post giving my totals LOL, and I am almost the last one to post any minutes :guilty:
Catching up now and I only count my active minutes on Fitbit LOL !
Saturday 29 minutes walking
Sunday 15 minutes walking - at Hershey Gardens, walked lots, stopped lots to take pictures LOL , fitbit only counts walking for sustained 10 minute stretches
Monday 61 minutes walking
Wednesday 24 minutes walking
Thursday 82 minutes walking/stationary bike

211/1000...........THAT looks better :flower1:
 
Plenty of :rainbow::rainbow: today!

Twilight Sparkle and 2manypets have both moved to Zero Orange, and scdak has achieved Sally Blue!

Tim Burton has said that he got the idea for Nightmare when he saw Halloween decorations being replaced by Christmas merchandise. The juxtaposition of the two holidays caused him to write a poem outlining the story. You can find that poem here (link to mimarkit.com).

(From what I saw in Costco the other day, though, nowadays Christmas doesn't replace Halloween--the two just exist side by side.)
 
Updating the total from earlier today to reflect today's activity . . .

I've been busy the past few days and have not had time to check in. Here is my new total for the month:

2091/3000
