Seriously Kidding. That's a contradiction if I've ever heard one. But lately, I'm finding that's what I've become. You see, I tend to joke around a lot. Most of the time I crack a joke just to make people laugh. But sometimes, I crack jokes when I'm nervous or scared. I crack jokes to diffuse a situation or to lighten the mood. It's worked well for me for a long time and it's a big part of who I am. But lately, I'm finding that I've used humor so much that I'm not sure I'm being taken seriously. Especially when it comes to my workouts.
I guess it's like the boy who cried wolf. If I'm constantly bombarding people with sarcasm and exaggeration, it only makes sense that when I'm telling the truth and being honest, they might not believe me. That's the situation I found myself in with my trainer last week and I didn't like it at all. When it comes to my workouts, I really do take them seriously. In front of a group of people I'll joke around. But when it all comes down to it, I'll do the work. If I have to trust a trainer with things like my weight and BMI, I need them to trust that I'll do what I say I'll do. It's a delicate balance that I definitely need to work on.
