Wow... where do I begin... today was just crazy.
I started exercising this morning at around 10:30.
On and off I was doing things for my mom [laundry, making food, etc]
so my strength training was broken up into bits and pieces. It didnt bother me much, or at least like it used to. I figure as long as I got it done, it should still count, right?
So then, i look at the clock and its 12:00. We had to leave at 1:30, so I had at least 45 mins to hop on the tremil and do my cardio.
After a five min warm up, and 5 or so mins of brisk walking, i decide I'll do intervals of running for the next 30 mins. Right after I started running, my brother started cooking a microwave pizza, and the treadmill is in the family room, which is open to the kitchen.
Has anyone else smelled food while they were working out and found that it smell absolutely DIS-GUST-TING!?!?!?!!!! GOD! It did smell horrible!!!! When my brother came back into the kitchen I told him "I hate that smell, and I have told you to please not make microwavable food while I am in here working out!"

I. Was. Pissed.

So, what does he do? Well, my brother is a handful. He can be a pistol, a pain, a burden... but he does mean well. He does.
This situation was no different from any of his 'screw ups'.
To get rid of the rancid, greasy pizza smell, he sprayed aerosol spray! right at me!
As soon as I smelled it... DONE! it took every breath straight out of my lungs. I felt like I was going to die! I already cannot stand that stuff. I asked him, "Are you trying to kill me?!?!" and I ran outside to get fresh air. I felt so light headed and my chest burned like hell.

So, after that, I had to recuperate and by that time, it was time to go take a shower and take my mom to the doctors. I am pretty peeved that I didnt get to do my cardio work out. I'm going to try to do it after dinner tonight, but I might just wait until thursday for a few reasons:
One, I am so sore that I think I need the rest.
Two, I have to get up early in the morning.
Three, TBL is on tonight, and I have had a hard day. I would like to just sit down and relax. We'll see how the night goes. I'm hungry now. Time for dinner!

What a day you had!! I do think you are right though, it doesn't matter, especially with strength training, if you do it all at once or it gets broken up in bits and pieces. It still COUNTS!!! Every Saturday I do the laundry and I work out on my elliptical while it is going. So, when the buzzer rings I pause the machine, hop off and change the laundry from washer to dryer,etc. I certainly still count the workout!! It is challenging to smell food cooking ... it is challenging to be tending to others needs when you want to focus just on you ... but it sounds like you are doing FINE. You've made incredible progress and someday you'll have different interruptions and challenges in your life. Take care!!

It seems like you're doing awesome! The smell of food cooking doesn't get to me for one reason....I'm the one cooking and it's healthy. The other night though, my hubby went out to Whataburger to get a burger, fries and a soda and it was the funniest thing. The whole time he's eating the burger he's making faces. I ask him what's wrong and he says "It tastes like all I'm eating is grease." So needless to say he's not eating takeout burgers anymore. LOL
