Lena Flying: interviews, latest news 2017
The well-known presenter flew to Yekaterinburg for the day to hold the first national award E1.RU. Woman`s Day talked to Elena about her passions – sports, work and Yuri’s beloved husband.
“Sport is pleasure, not violence against oneself”
Yes! I started actively surfing with my fiance, and now my husband Yuri. Before him, I was also engaged in surfing, but now we specially “go for the waves”, that is, for the holidays we choose the place where we can practice this sport. This was not the case before.
Last year we surfed great in Costa Rica. One of our favorite places is Bali, where we fly every year. Also the Maldives … Although we haven’t been to many places yet, but, in principle, the wave can be found anywhere. Even here in Russia. I know that competitions are taking place in Sochi, and I am very surprised. Now the Russian surfing team is even being formed. This year our friend, Olympic champion and famous synchronized swimmer Angelica Timanina, won the surfing competition. If you do this, then you find yourself in a kind of “surf-family”: everyone prompts where the waves are better, where is a good gathering, and so on …
I feel myself, I am resting. This is not overcoming oneself, but an incredible intercourse with the ocean and nature. When you are on a board on a line-up (a line-up in surfing is the height to which the waves rise to fall down. – Approx. Woman`s Day) in the ocean, you just do not think about anything, you completely turn off and give yourself up nature! The city is often loaded with the wrong problems, and in the ocean all this is “erased”.
Always scary! I asked super-pros, and they all say that the heart stops when there is a big wave. And surfing is a sport that lacks perfection. It seems to you that if you live in Bali for three years, you will become a super surfer, but this is not so. Friends say that when you skate for a year – yes, you are not very good yet. If you continue, you think it’s already cool. Three years pass – you realize that you can’t do anything.
I really love sports, and this is not a fanatical desire to be slim and thin. And first of all, because physical activity gives me pleasure. Only when I play sports can I clear my head, reformat it. That is why I go to the gym and the pool, I ski … For me, this is not violence against myself. And I feel sorry for people who go in for sports only so that the priest is not fat, and torture themselves …
And real torment for me is not sweet. This is a struggle! I try to fight sugar all the time, but I can’t live without it. And I don’t eat bread, cakes …
“Recently I added the word“ day off ”to the schedule
Lena’s breakfast is correct …
Yes, I eat right: proteins and carbohydrates separately, I don’t eat fatty foods, I don’t drink carbonated drinks. But my only vice is sweet: fruit, sugar in tea. I tried to somehow “dry out” and completely get rid of sugar, but I began to feel bad, my head was constantly spinning. Maybe psychosomatics? (Laughs.) At least a little bit I need. I called the coach and asked: “Well, maybe at least a spoonful of honey?” At the same time, I asked the housekeeper to cook oatmeal porridge in the morning, oatmeal pies with berries, but without sugar. I taught myself to eat oatmeal porridge in the morning without sugar and salt. So anything is possible.
I haven’t had breakfast because I haven’t slept for two days! I took part in a fashion show of my friend in Sochi, then flew to Moscow, slept for a couple of hours (I call it that because it cannot be called sleep), left for two full-length shootings, then I had business meetings. I flew to Yekaterinburg very early, so I slept again for about two hours. I can’t have breakfast in this mode. Here I took a sweet gull, bought a healthy bar, and that’s it – nothing else is needed. The main thing is to have time to sleep.
Lena participates in fashion shows …
In fact, this story is about the fact that many see only a beautiful picture. Right now I am sitting in front of you in an elegant dress and with make-up, but in fact I am insanely tired. This is the profession. When people see this beauty, they also want to be leading. And tomorrow I will fly from you to Moscow at 8 am, and from 13.00 pm to 22.00 pm I have three teaching groups at the institute. So I won’t get enough sleep again. But I can’t remove anything from my schedule, because everything is important to me. And, despite the fatigue, I like it.
I recently watched an interview with an actress with whom I am in a great relationship. She said: “For some time now I started to put the weekend in my schedule. I write “a day off” and I don’t give this day to anyone, because it’s hard for me, I need time for myself ”. And then I realized that I have no days off at all. Even my husband says: “Lena, tell me, please, when do you have a day off?” We open the diary – and there is no such word. It was only after that interview that I realized that I needed to change my schedule. Now I try to schedule “weekends”, to spend this time with my husband and family.
I love doing homework, cooking … The image of a bitch is not the only part of me. At home, I’m different, so few people know. Friends, for example, call me Kitten. And not just like that, but because with my loved ones I am soft, fluffy, homey. I think this has its own charm, because I love changing images.
“I wanted a perfect relationship and when I met Yura, the puzzle came together.”
You need to take care of yourself. I tell all my friends that a gym and a beautician are a must. If there is no money – save. Because the most correct investment is investment in yourself, it affects your condition. So I look at myself and am happy. I like the way I look at 38 years old, and from December 5 – at 39. But I do not feel my age. I know that no one feels, everyone says: “I’m 50, but I feel young” (laughs). But at least the people who communicate with me say: “You have the energy of a young girl.” I think this is due to the fact that I am happy with my fate, life, I am a very happy person, I like everything I do. I got married successfully, where it is successful – it is for love, and not material wealth. I’ve been waiting for this all my life. They ask me what marriage gave me. And my husband and I can be weak and feminine – this is an incredible reward for a woman like me. And for any other.
Apparently, she was waiting for her man, because she always wanted me to have a loving family, and I did not exchange for other relationships. I was often asked: “What will happen if you never meet such a man?” She answered: “So I will work.” I only wanted a perfect relationship. Probably, somewhere in the subcortex I knew that I would definitely meet him. I really believed in it. In general, I think that you need to dream more about good things.
Elena has been waiting for Yura all her life!
I didn’t have an ideal. But when I met Yura, I realized that it was mine, the puzzle came together. It was a fateful meeting.
This is some kind of stupidity. For men, the manifestation of love is when he is around, when he cares and loves, you have a certain intimacy. And if he doesn’t love you, no matter how many pies you bake, he will still leave.
Mom raised me strictly, such a small mistress. On Saturdays, I had a cleaning schedule, I grew flowers, looked after the dog and was completely responsible for it. I also had a bird. I love to cook. My first culinary creations, of course, were not the best, but my dad always praised them, thereby inspiring me. Therefore, I can do it well. I often cook for friends and for my husband. Yuri loves it very much when the housekeeper has a day off and I myself stand at the stove.
