49. Мое наслаждение / My pleasure

Меня часто спрашивают: почему ты так много тренируешься, а все не худеешь. Во-первых, я организовала группу «100 кг красоты» не для того, чтобы похудеть, а чтобы укрепить здоровье и привить себе и девушкам привычку к движению. Наша задача – просто заниматься. Даже если я больше не похудею ни на грамм, я буду заниматься фитнесом. Потому что это добавляет мне тонуса, лечит мою депрессию, придает тонус моим мышцам, несмотря на их зачаточное состояние. Да и мне просто нравится дрыгаться вместе с сестрами по весу под веселую музыку.
Мне не нужно красивое тело в конце пути, которое я получу и залягу на диван, задрав ноги. Активный образ жизни – это процесс. И я всегда буду в пути. Если разжирею снова – начну опять. Я делаю это для радости, веселья и вдохновения. Как и все в этой жизни. Наше с Яшей видео из этой же серии. Можно тренироваться в любом возрасте, просто выйдя на прогулку. Кстати, это упражнение мы делаем и в зале, но у стены. Очень укрепляет колени и позвоночник. Попробуйте сперва дома, а потом практикуйте везде. Пусть люди завидуют. Плюйте на толпу, качайтесь везде, где застанет вас желание.

People often ask me why I train so much, but not get thin. First, I organized a group of "100 kg of Beauty", not in order to lose weight, but to improve health and to instill confidence and girls habit of movement. Our task - just do it. Even if I will not lose weight , I'll do fitness. Because it adds tone to me, treating my depression, it gives tone my muscles. And I just like dance with my sisters-in-weight with a cheerful music.

I don’t want to have a beautiful body at the end, when I lie down on the couch and stop my movements. Active way of life - it is a process. And I will always be in the way. If I get fat again - start lose weight again. I do it for pleasure, fun and inspiration. Actually, like everything else in my life. Our video with Jacob is about. You can exercise at any age, just going out for a walk. By the way, this exercise we do in the gym, but near the wall. It strengthens the knees and spine. Try it first at home and then practice everywhere. Let people envy. Spit at the crowd, pump in any place  where desire finds you..

Two hour walk in "Little Sibiria" Luleå, Sweden -17 C

Some people walk their dogs other their colleagues...
 J is firmly convinced:  I will get in shape fast with a daily walk.
 "Let's go" I told him yesterday not checking the weather forecast for today.
I hate winter, snow and cold weather. It was 17 below zero this morning.
 J and I walked for TWO hours. And check our happy, frost covered faces out. He is the heaven sent coach I need for the ButterflyBattle Russia vs Sweden.

The Ninja Diet #8: Thank you for the love bombing

It's said it's easier to reach a goal if you tell your friends about it, no matter what you are aiming for.
Last days my friends have been love bombing me with compliments for the weight loss. Many of them at  Facebook commenting my new look, others at work, in the street, at the bus. Every "good job", go girl", keep on"," I'm following your blog" is giving me more power to keep up the fighting spirit in the Butterfly Battle.
I am touched over how fantastic people are to me. Some are close friends, others I never would have expected so generous take time to support me! I am surprised and very grateful for everything.
I am sending a lot a love to all of you! And in case I don't know you personal yet, please feel free to write you comments about the Butterfly Battle Blog here. Of course it is for everyone!

I am thinking about choices and priorities made in life and how you sometimes cast pearls before swine. Nothing is actually a waste if you believe in Karma. What comes around goes around.
But when the energy is put in something good for yourself and others it makes everything brighter.
There are many people asking about how Natasha and I are losing weight and about what food we are eating. It's not a secret everything is written here. Just look back in the blog!

Exercise has been my weak spot so far. I just can't find motivation to start. My son and the PT at SATS Haninge, Elisha, is 1000 km away from Luleå; Sweden. How lucky I am having friends ready to give me a push in the right direction.
Yesterday Carola had booked a walk in the hood. She cancelled it, but as I had my mind set on it I did it anyway. The evening was fabulous with sun and glittering water. I even meditated outside to the songs of happy spring birds.

This morning one of my oldest friends Rose-Marie asked my to join her and her baby son for a walk.
Rose-Marie made up with her over weight and won the battle. She's now slim and fast. Walking about 10 km daily. She is a good company as a long time friend and she also knows how hard it is to exercise with a lot of extra kilos to drag around. We had serious talks and I walked for one hour! Fantastic! She was kind to take the picture of me above and also this selfie:

The Ninja result of yesterday:
1. Meal plan: no problem
2. Inspirational reading: about fat; good and bad
3. Meditation: wonderful outdoor session in the sun
4. Exercise: YES-finally, a walk
5. Life changing: small adjustments leading to a great change

Very inspiring of your mood, sister. It's my greeting from sunny Petrozavodsk just now.
