First of all you should check your spam folder. If you can not find the mail there you either entered the wrong email address or the message has been deleted by your spam filter. Make sure that admin at burnoutaholics dot com is in your "whitelist". Then send a message to the mentioned email address  including the username and email address you signed up with. We will then either delete your account so you can sign up again or re-send the verification email.
