Serena Williamsis keeping it real with her social media followers.

Williams, 43, sharedtwo photos on Instagramof herself on a private jet on Wednesday, Dec. 11, and the tennis legend poked fun at the difference in the two snapshots.

“Instagram Vs Reality,” Williams captioned the post.

In the first photo, which would be the “Instagram” version, Williams, wearing a simple black tank top and her hair down with a fluffy blanket draped over her seat, looks focused and cozy as she works on her laptop from the jet.

In the second photo, which Williams jokingly dubbed the “reality” version of her jet photo shoot, the legendary athlete is seen getting ready to take a big bite of a sandwich as her laptop moves further out of frame.

And even though she’s retired from tennis, Williams said she’s taken up a new sport these days — running.

“I’ve gotten obsessed, more obsessed with diet and exercise, I think, than when I was playing tennis,” Williams told PEOPLE.

“I knew that I was going to burn 20,000 calories a day, and now I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I don’t know how many calories I’m going to be able to burn!’ "
