cardio/yoga/no buying(a little long)

[Guest guest]

good morning. before i get into the blog post about my workouts yesterday(way below). i though i would just, mainly for my own benefit, get into why i think i have been buying a lot again. mainly boredom, depression,and some just plain enabling on VF. now i don't want to abandon VF b/c i have a check in there with some other moms and there are some good threads out there about random stuff, BUT i have to find a way(or will power) to avoid reading about new videos! my other two reasons, boredom-when i am home and not doing anything i tend to scour to the web and checking out random clips between you tube and my favorite vendors and i just get the urge of "I HAVE TO HAVE THIS". when really its nice to have but i don't have to have nothin'. i have plenty and then some! i tend to think i am still like i was BEFORE the gym. i know i can't ignore the gym but

i also feel bad about all the videos i have that don't get much use. now if i wasn't going to the gym i can see this being a different story. even then i have more then enough to do a cardio workout about everyday and still not repeat a workout. many of my dvds have more then one workout on it! i tend to forget that too. not to mention a few of them having premixes and great chaptering!depression-sometimes i just need to treat myself to feel good about myself. my friend with bi-polar suffers with the same affliction from her disease. even if we are stressin' about money and not doing well we tend to spend! she shops brand new so she can take them back. i tend to go overboard at goodwill! i didn't need all those videos i found that day but i rationalize that its "good for me" sure they are if i didn't have so many already! and with goodwill you can't just take it back and get a refund. then i feel bad for spending money(i did use part of my check

to put that money back in the savings i took it out of to shop). i know some think $33 isn't to much, you are right but we are going through some stuff. we have personal property taxes coming up, cars need maintenance and dh's may need a few gasket seals(labor cost more then the fricken' car payment. and is less then a few months i will not have a job for the summer. plus b/c of the weather and being out of work, i haven't been able to save as much as i want to for viola's camp . unless my angle donor comes through this year(i never count on it but i pray they help again this year) i may not be able to send my baby to camp unless a miracle comes through(i still have hope)so you can see i have worries! which makes me spend. i tend to fill the void of no control with more no control. when i have a bad day at work, i tend to shop. today i have no plans on the gym but i have to find

something to keep me busy that keeps from watching clips on the internet or being close to a store. so to not spend until the end of april is going to be a tough challenge as i battle other issues that make me spend when i don't need too! i love my workouts but i have so many and so many resources between exercise tv's website, fittv from my tv provider, my books, my access to the gym and qualified people there(i love the director he is so sweet) i need to try to outlet my boredom and depression/anxiety to those outlets i already have access to that won't cost me more money! plz challenge buddies be stern but caring b/c you guys(other then dh who can't always do the caring part not shopping for this stuff is easy for him LOL) are the only support i have in this. i am not saying be my therapist but just remind me of my wii, gym, and amazing brain when i use it for my workouts that keep me focused off the spending. now for my

workouts yesterday

gym

workout and yoga

yesterday afternoon did another hillclimb walk on the treadmill. i got that incline way up again. i wasn't sore from the morning's workout BUT i

could feel something that i worked hard. but i went ahead and did the steep hills anyway. i did stretch a bit at the gym before coming

home but i felt the soreness really creeping in. so later before dinner

i did some yoga with yoga

complete for everybody, doing the hips,legs,and feet practice. there was plenty of poses for stretching while some were balance. overall i think it helped me keep from getting more sore then i feel right now. i have slight DOMS but i definitely can feel the fatigued in my legs.yoga is the plan for the morning but thinking adding some wii time in there as well.
