Let me start off by saying Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! Being part Irish, this is one of my favorite holidays. I hope everyone has a great day, but be sure not to drink too much of the green beer.

I got really lazy when it came to my stitching. I didn’t put a single stitch into any of my projects. I was productive otherwise though by sorting through some of my stash and getting it a bit more organized. I saw photos on Nicole’s blog about how she was organizing and it got me thinking about my own stash and some things I’d been wanting to do lately to better organize. So, thanks for the push, Nicole. Also, big thanks for chiming in so quickly to my ISO request. I sent you an email.

I had planned on riding my bicycle, but it was pretty windy and threatening rain all afternoon. So, I went to the fitness room at my complex and put in time on the stationary bike instead. I rode for just over 40 minutes and went 10 miles. It always kind of amazes me when I see the distances on the stationary bikes. Even if I could ride 10 miles on my real bike, I don’t see me doing it in only 40 minutes.

My exercise focus for this week will definitely be on walking again. I have the Carlsbad 5000 coming up in 3 weeks and I need to get in some pavement walking time so that I’ll be ready. Treadmills are all fine and good, but walking 3+ miles on pavement is much different on my ankles than it is when I walk that distance on the treadmill. So, by getting in some time on pavement leading up to the race, my ankles should hold up better during the race.

In the evening, I spent some time trying to organize my DVDs. I recently purchased 2 large binders (each holds 256 DVDs), but hadn’t gotten around to filling them. I’m still not done, but I got started at least. One will hold the movies I’ve already watched, and the other will hold the ones I’ve not seen yet. I also created an Excel spreadsheet with the title, year, genre, run time, any misc. notes, and the location where it is stored. Eventually I want to organize the holder with the previously viewed titles by genre, then year, then title. For now though, I’m happy just getting them organized in any sort of fashion, regardless of how rudimentary it might be.

I guess that’s it for now, so I’ll close with my WW stats for Sunday:

Total Points: 26.5 – dialed things back a little today due to eating 42 pts yesterday
Exercise: 40 mins stationary bike – 3 APs
Weekly Points balance: 27
Water: 48 oz
Days OP: 14

Until next time …
