The Ninja Diet: Davaj!

Tough times in the Batterfly battle.
I need to find a good way forward. Feels like I'm stuck in the space between two job, one leg in the past another in the future. Also between spring and summer.  Still cold here in the very north of the world... Almost in the middle of June and I can't use all the summer clothes I now fit in.
 I need to charge my batteries with sun to gain some more energy. The heat makes me less hungry! Also my scale is like glued to the same number. The past is a loss of more than 30 kilos. In the future I need to lose even more...

I want to rush forward.
I give it one week. Or to be exact: 8 days.
I finish one job, I invite the summer and I figure out how to move forward in this battle against the over weight. I'm not down for counting. I will never give up!

The ninja Diet: The lunch date

In Natashas last blog post "her" president is posing with a puppy. To look human I guess.
 At a lunch date today I had the chance to hold Rose-Marie's baby. Not the one from the horror movie. This is a true love story! A wonderful little boy called Johannes, 5 month, with a proud mother. Her active mother hood is starting when my is about to end. Well I have a few years left as caregiver. I will never stop being a mother and I look forward to be a grandmother in the future.
At least for a few years I am hoping to be Marie again, without obligations, living where ever I want, doing what I wish for the moment. As a single mother the responsibility and hard work has been tough through two decades. I love every minute of it and the best thing in my life has always been my three beautiful sons.

Rose-Marie is one of my oldest friends. We had a great time in our early teens writing a music magazine together. She reminded me of the fact that I had to be at home no later than 11 pm and how we rushed home from the city for me to be in time. Rose-Marie's mother had no curfew...
One of these days we will open up my diaries and the box filled with memories from the 80s.

My good friend Javier showed up, also in company with a borrowed baby!

BBC#20. WTF

All people in my city, especially girls support me in my project. All of them imagine that I will come to Sweden and get a price for win in Butterfly Battle. May be it’s could be a Viking or cosmetics? I don’t know. Sweet dreams. I suppose all our fantasy can be broken. Russian parliament (Duma) passed a law about banning travel abroad for all Russians. What is it? Back in USSR? Crisis of the Putin’s regime of just marasmus?

Anyway I am going to finish my ButterflyBattly one year later with Putin as a president or some who…My system is creating project in contrast to the destructive anti-people laws.

My points
1. Bike. No. Cold and rainy

2. Beauty. Yes. Sauna again

3. Clean. Deleted the great mess in my room.

Мой город, особенно девочки, поддерживают меня и мой баттл. Большинство представляет, как я приеду в Швецию и вырву из рук шведов победу в Битве Бабочек. Моим призом будет викинг или косметика. Не знаю. Наивная простота – верю в мечту. Я полагаю, наши мечты могут разбиться о нашу Госдуму, которая приняла на днях закон, запрещающий всем россиянам выезд за границу. Что это? Назад в совок? Кризис путинского режима или обострение маразма?
Как бы то ни было, а я собираюсь закончить Битву Бабочек через год с президентом Путиным или кем-то другим…Моя система креативна и созидательна, в отличие от разрушительного антинародного закона.
Мои пунктики:
1. Велосипед. Нет. Дождь и холодрыга

2. Красота. Да. Снова парилась в сауне.

3. Чистка. Убрала бардак в комнате. Садись, пять.

The Ninja Diet: Summer without sauna but soon a swim in the lake!

Kvarnträsket

My dear friend Natasha and all readers of the Butterfly Battle blog!

This is where I relax and reflect. In the summer house of my mother in Luleå. To the left, the sauna, but I am not a big fan. I prefer swimming! Last years I have been having a early start of the season. This year I haven't even dipped my toe in the water. Too cold.
Friday my friend Ulrika picked me up. She wanted to take a walk in the forest surrounding the lake.
It was beautiful. Unfortunately the weather here has been so bad. Not much time to enjoy the nature in good weather. Today is another gray day almost by the Arctic circle....

I'm drinking my ginger/lemon/ celery drink. It's 5.40 in the morning. Yesterday I was meditating with a great teacher, Trudy Fredriksson, a Buddhist for more than 40 years.
This will be a very busy week on two jobs. It's hard for me as well to have time to find inspiration for our battle against over weight. I need to find out something revolutionary as the scale refuse to go down in number. My other good friend Sara is comforting me talking about muscles heavier than fat. I hope so. I have moved around for a month by foot and on the bike.

BBC#19. Sauna for business lady

My dear EvaMarie. Where did you find a time for you job, beauty, garden and Ninja diet? I have no idea where I can charge my battery for next step.  I tired so much and need to relax and reload. Only sport and bike help me to be on track. My special Russian point of beauty program is a sauna. We have the sauna in our GYM. It’s place for chatting, laughing, gossips, supporting each other. I love these 10 minutes after training. After sauna I look younger and fleshier. Yesterday I rested in the sauna and had a young face and pink cheeks. And what about you, sister?  Do you like something hot like sauna?
My 3.

Bike. Yes. Every day and every night

Beauty. Not constantly, but time after time

Clean. Yes. Some broken furniture gone.

Сауна для деловой колбасы

Дорогая Эва Мария, где ты берешь время для работы, красоты, сада, Нинзя диеты? У меня нет идей, где я могу зарядить батарейку для своего следующего шага. Я так устала, мне надо бы отдохнуть и перезагрузиться. Только спорт и велосипед помогают быть в седле. Мой специальный русский секрет красоты неописуемой – это сауна. В том зале, где я преподают у своих девочек аэробику, есть сауна. Это место для болтовни, смеха, сплетен, поддержки друг друга. Я люблю эти 0 минут после тренировки. После сауны я выгляжу свежей и юной. Вчера я парилась в сауне, после чего мои щечки порозовели, а лицо помолодело. А ты, дорогая шведская сестра, любишь ли ты сауну, как люблю ее я? Любишь ты кое-что погорячее?
Мои три:
Велосипед. Да. Денно и нощно

Красота. Да. Не постоянно, но время от времени. Вот сауна, опять-таки

Выкидон. Немного поломанной мебели ушло из дома навсегда.

The Ninja Diet: Not a patriot on the National day of Sweden

 The 6th of June is celebrated in honour of the election of King Gustav Vasa in 1523; the foundation of modern Sweden... For many years this wasn't to heavy celebrated in Sweden.
Now there are some flag waving events in Luleå.
I stayed home in my garden and enjoyed the blooming of the hack berry trees.
My friend Ulrika was here digging up some lilac plants and was kind to take the picture above of me.
The flower garland the florist master Örjan Huhta showed me how to make at his class Thursday night.
I love Sweden but I feel more like a cosmopolitan than a patriot.
My scale is still stuck on the same number. I might need to change batteries...
