Reach for the Stars April 2023 Exercise Challenge

PollyannaMom is now Piper Pink! Well done!!

Okay, I think I just became a Milo Manheim fan. Not only did I like him in Prom Pact, but he's winning me over in Doogie Kamealoha, too. And, I just found out from this article that this DCOM star (Zombies franchise and the previously mentioned Prom Pact) is a big theatre fan.

Milo was born March 6, 2001, to actress Camryn Manheim and began acting at age 6. Since then, he has performed in 20 different musicals, and at age 16 won Outstanding Performance in a Leading Role at the New York Musical Theatre Festival. Milo didn't begin working with Disney until late in his teen years. His first project with Disney was as himself for the 2017 Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration. He quickly followed that with the role of Zed in all three Zombies movies and has acted continuously on various projects ever since.

15 minutes walking at lunch - it's sunny and 60' out, while tomorrow will be raining and 45'. I foresee some treadmill time or mall walking in my future.

It's a Raven Red kind of day with Raya, Twilight Sparkle, and the TEAM all reaching at least 90% of goal!

You might know her from the 1960 Disney film Pollyanna



or Disney's The Parent Trap (1961)



but at age 77, Hayley Mills is still acting. Her long, successful career began with an uncredited role when she was just an infant in 1947. 12 years later, she was "discovered" and landed the lead in a film called Tiger Bay which was originally written for a boy. That film also co-starred her dad, Sir John Mills. Disney execs saw her performance in Tiger Bay and cast Hayley as the lead in Pollyanna. She has been working regularly ever since. Her most current role is that of Lady Emma Hume in the TV series Unforgotten.

Obviously, one of my favs!

I skipped Thursday, but walked on the treadmill on Friday and went on a birding hike with a group Saturday morning. That lasted an hour and a half, but was slow, stop & go walking, so I'm going to count half.

4/28 - 40 minutes
4/29 - 45 minutes

new total - 605/600

We just have a few days left in April. Who wants to host May?

I don't have a theme prepared at the moment, but I can start the spreadsheet if nobody else wants May, and try to add something interesting in later.

+235... wrapping the month up with a bang. Lots of yard work Friday and Saturday, and there will be more today

4 hours of walking around downtown but my FitBit only counted 28 minutes as fitness minutes. Since that's enough to get me to my goal, I'll take it.

Jet lag hit us hard and DH is sick, so I’m adding a mere 45 minutes and calling it a month.

@Twilight Sparkle, thanks for hosting! A nice balance between newer stars (who I don’t know at all, though now I’m a Milo fan too) and older ones.

It's a big day for color changes! PollyannaMom, Raya, Twilight Sparkle, and the TEAM have all reached goal and Genevieve Green!!

Thanks for hanging out this month, participating in the quizzes, sharing your favorite Disney child stars, photos of Disney trips, etc. and, of course, posting your minutes and activities!

And a big thank you to @PollyannaMom for offering to take May!

I'll come back in a few days to tally final minutes, so keep them coming if you have anymore from this month.

In the meantime, here's one final article to enjoy.

I just realized it might seem weird to have given you a heart for that post in light of your first sentence. Imagine multiple sad faces bestowed for that one! The heart is for the last sentence.

No worries. I figured that’s what it meant.

I updated the last minutes for this month. No new color changes, but the team moved up to 102% of goal, so fantastic job, everyone!!!!
