Honesty
Honesty is the best policy. Unless you’re talking to your new trainer about what you ate over the holidays. Then it’s important to LIE, LIE, LIE!
Unfortunately, I did not do this. My new trainer, Mel, asked for my current meal plan, which I sent her and then I wrote, “ok, here’s what I’m really eating.”
“Thank you for your honesty,” she said and then put me on a strict sugar detox diet to follow until further notice. Doh! I get nothing sweet at all, not even Stevia. Good-bye chocolate and berries. Hello egg whites and fish. In the words of my five year old, “That’s disgusting. When can I eat kid food again?”
Mel also put me on notice that if I go overboard with the butter spray she’ll cut that too.
Trainers are mean.

Evil trainer! Although I probably need to do the exact same thing. (Sigh….)
And now that I’m training I can’t even pretend to lie ’cause she’ll see me every three days. *Sigh*
Yes trainers are mean. Mean people we grow to love and appreciate. Because they push to limits we didn’t know existed……aren’t you studying to be one? Lol?!!
Yes, I am, because I want to be mean to other people 😉 Actually, I had such a positive experience I want to become a trainer to help other people reach their goals. And honestly I say things like, “trainers are mean” or “I hate you, Daniel” in jest. If it weren’t for them pushing me in the right direction I would be unhealthy and miserable.
I agree. My trainer laughs at my eye rolls etc – but I love to see her push me past what I think I can do. ;$
I love being pushed too, because that’s the only way to get results.
