I have not exercised since Tuesday July 23rd. Today, August 4th, was my first day back! I was busy with this two week all day training in Brooklyn and suffered from cumulative loss of sleep. Whenever I get very busy, that is an issue for me.
Today I did 25 minutes on the stair master. I would have done longer but I accidentally ended my workout program (hit the wrong button). That is always the worst feeling!
My pattern was 7 down to 1, two minutes each level, almost 2 sets.
My heart rate was quite high, 160s.
Afterwards in the locker room I ran into Taylor. Actually we worked out a few machines away from each other but didn't talk to each other which I was so relieved about because it's very hard to have a conversation when one's heart rate is in the 160's.
We ended up having a long talk afterwards in the locker room. I'm still trying to track down who her billionaire is (who she works for as his house manager). She told me that she was mad at a friend of hers who knows the real name of the billionaire because she alerted Taylor to a gossipy type article that mentioned one of his girls who he sees, and the girl said that he told her that he is going to marry her and have his children and that he has spent millions of dollars on her. Taylor said, "Probably only about 20 thousand." She said that she knows the girl (woman) and that she's bipolar and that she (Taylor) is sure it's not true and that Ross (her fake name for the billionaire) denies it. Taylor is still certain that Ross only sleeps with her even though he has a rotation of about 4 or 5 young women that spend the night and sleep in his bed with him. Taylor said that Ross said that in September he will start talking to her about a timeline for when he will leave his wife.
Taylor looked super skinny today. I would estimate 90 pounds at most, probably 85. Her shoulder bones were jutting up. I asked about her weight and she said she was status quo. She's 35 but she looks about 17 years old. She got annoyed with me for asking about her weight.
She told me about how a friend of hers said to her, "How do you know that Ross won't just abandon you?" Then Taylor started crying and said she was so mad at her friend for being so negative. Then she said that her father sexually abused her all her life and abandoned her when she was 13. Then she cried some more. She said she is dealing with her traumas with a new therapist.
She said, "Thanks for listening to me." I said, "Taylor, you're my favorite person at the gym." She said, "Awww, don't..." like all sweetly. I wish I was her favorite person at the gym but two others at the gym (one being Hillary) she's referred to as her best friend. Harumph!
Oh, and she also told me that they continue to have unprotected sex but that he pulls out. She really hopes to become pregnant by him and said she would definitely have his baby.
Oh, and she said that if he abandoned her that it would mean everything was a lie, and then she cried and cried.
Poor Taylor
