Burn out... (anoter a-ha moment)

No not from dieting or exercise... that's not it.

It's just these last 2.5 months have been taxing. I have not spend one weekend at home since December 29th. I spend it at the faire. It was fun and all, but I realized today I need a break.
I got home last weekend and I was just mentally drained. All week felt like a burden and the constant catching up is really tearing at me. So I decided to take this weekend off from everything I need a break to get my creative juices flowing again.
Well and I want to spend it with my mom who just flew in and is going to spend 8 weeks with us (yay no laundry)
I just had to get this off my chest. I just feel that I let people down but you know what I am not that person anymore, I don't have to be there every waking minute, cause if I am not I will be sternly talked to and told that I don't care. I am my own person, I need to take care of myself. Cause this past week I didn't go to the gym, I ate ok, but not as clean as I could./should have so there was no change on the scale which sucks. But it is what it is, this new piece of information is of great value to me for the future. I am saying NO, I can say NO and I will say NO.
Mental healthy is as much a part of this journey as the physical one. So here is to good mental health, Take care of youself.

Music to workout...

I do like to listen to music while I workout. But I do enjoy the quiet when I swim, it's so serene. And then on the Treadmill it's pretty neat that I can watch Supernatual while walking. It's like trying to catch the boys, but never actually get to them.
So here are some of my workout favorites:
Survivor -- Eye of the Tiger
Bon Jovi -- Keep the Faith
Kansas -- Carry on my Wayward son
Warrant -- Cherry Pie
Pink -- Reasons
Sugar Ray -- Fly
Def Leppard -- Rock of Ages
Fallout Boys -- Sugar Were going down
Robbie Williams -- Candy
Robbie Williams -- Rock DJ
Fun. -- Carry On
Katrina and the Waves -- Walking on Sunshine

That's about it...

Have fun working out.

Workouts...

I am so happy to say, that out of the 12x I went to the gym this month 9 have been in the past two weeks. yup last week I went and this week 5x. I am enjoying working out again, I remember that's how it was the first time I lost the weight. I am still mad at myself for letting this happening. But I am also proud that I now am working really hard to changing it.
Today was one of those days, where things just didn't flow right. On my way to the gym, a guy tried to run me off the road, I hit a bird with the car. But then my Pilates session rocked, I learned new moves and laughed my head off. Then onto the treadmill for 50mins of fatburn/cardio. It helps that I can watch Supernatural while doing Cardio.
So then I got home and find out that the post office messed up one of my packages, and just slapped my label onto an envelope and my customer got two bills. Not the Pillow cases she ordered, those are missing now. Oh and to top it off, my tablets screen cracked and it doesn't work anymore. So I need to find a place to fix that.
But back to working out. I am really already seeing improvement in my endurance and I am not so easy out of breath after a workout.
Swimming is an amazing workout. The first time I swam 15mins. Then 20mins and the last two times I swam 30mins. My goal is to work up to 45mins - 1hrs.

So that's my workouts at the moment.

Glad to be back in the gym :D
