Official Holiday Halftime 2022 Introduction Thread
Welcome to 90daysgoal!
The Holiday Halftime will start on Friday November 25, and will only last 30 days.
Round 40 will start at the beginning of 2022.
This introduction post is a place to announce that you are joining the Holiday Halftime!
About 90daysgoal
90daysgoal is a group of people working together to improve themselves. Whether you want to change a little or a lot, everyone is welcome. Goals can be in whatever area you wish: health, work, school, hobbies, relationships, doing less of something, doing more of something, etc. More than anything else, it's a place to discuss goal setting and progress in an open, friendly environment. If you have any questions, message the mods or ask it in the daily goal post thread!
Format
Every morning there's a Daily Goal thread where you can post your goals, ask questions, or read through other people’s updates. We usually discuss how the day before went and what our plans are for today. You can include lists, charts, or just a short text update. There's often a "BQ" included in the posts, which stands for Bonus Question and is meant to spark a conversation and to get to know your fellow goalies.
If you'd like to join us for the next round, you're in the right place--tell us about yourself and your goals in this official introduction thread.
You're free to join whenever, even if the Round has already started.
Holiday Halftime Schedule
Holiday Halftime runs from Nov 25 - Dec 24, 2022.
Daily post threads are usually up by 2-3 a.m. UTC every day so that everybody can get their updates in on the day-of.
After Dec 24, we're on break until Jan 1, 2023!
Introduce yourself!
This introduction thread is the place we get to know each other a little! Tell us all about yourself and your goals here. Meet your fellow goalies and take a look around for people with similar goals. Feel free to set your flair however you'd like. The number at the beginning indicates what round was your first (i.e. if this is your first round, select "HH22"), and then you can add whatever else to the end! If you'd like some more information about what we do, check back on this post and feel free to ask any questions you might have.
Check out our last round's introduction thread for some great examples from last round's participants!
Also join our Discord server to get in touch with fellow 90DGers!
What you get out of this community is completely up to you! Our job as moderators is to support you all as well as each other, and your job as a participant is to do the work and support each other. Welcome all, let’s have a fantastic Holiday Halftime!

Hi everyone! I'm bubbles, (almost) 30F living in the midwest. I've done a lot of rounds sporadically over the years, so not sure what round number this is for me. Last round, I started checking in regularly on the discord (missbubbles). This halftime coincides with my birthday and various days off work. Hopefully, I can stay on track with it all.
With this 30 day halftime, my goals are:
🧵 Finish a quilt top - I'm working on a not-so-complicated, but also kind of complicated, quilt top that I hope to finish. It's a repetitive process that can get tedious, but I'm super excited for the finished top.
📖 Read 1 fiction (Circe) and 1 non-fiction (Building a Second Brain) book.
🏋♀️ Go to the gym at least 3x/weekly starting on 11/28.
💸 Editing to add in: No spending between 11/28 through 12/20 (other than Christmas presents for other people). I've spent a lot of money on black Friday and as early birthday presents to myself. Its time to focus on cleaning out things and saving money.
Other than these bigger goals, I try to complete daily chores too. With 4 cats, it's important for me to stay on top of housework. And I'm always working toward the illusive goal of "weight loss" with logging calories and getting in daily steps.
I'm wishing everybody the best of luck with this halftime sprint!
