Friday, November 02, 2012 • Bronx, NY 10463

Cold, long dark evenings, November 1 - 2.

By Miroslava Plaunova

   In my apartment very cold.I have sitting and watching news about terrible devastations and damages. "Foundation of a house in Seaside Heights that had been partially washed away...Two boys, 11 and 13, died in North Salem, when a tree crashed through the living room...9,000 residents in several states remain in rescue shelters..."

   I have opened the today's New York Times:"Senator Charles E Schumer, Democrat of New York, said Wednesday, "We're going to pay a price for the change in climate." And Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of Manhattan, echoed the consensus of local officials on Thursday, saying simply, "There will be a storm of this magnitude again." "

I had thinked about it.But I can not! And I had came in Van Cortlandt Park.The huge tree have been everywhere on the road, it had been looked like apokalypsis - like some creatures from another planet had been destroying our planet.And suddenly I had realized, that we are that creatures, that had trying to destroing our beatiful unique earth. Yes, it was us...

Yes, Mr Obama had been right, saying:"climate change was a threat to our children's future, and we owe it to them to do something about it."

I had returned back to my cold apartment, had prepared chili:

 (1 pound beef stew meat,beef stock,1 pound  groung beef, 1 can kidney beans, 1 can black beans, diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers in adobe sause, garlic cloves)

This chili really had helped me to "survive in brutally cold apartment in Bronx"

 

 November 2.I had invited two people from Bronx shelter to dinner.In their shelter no electricity, no food.On the table I had put chicken:( 4 chicken breasts, chicken broth, celery, potatoes, carrots on the bottom of a roasting pan.Chicken have to be rubbed under the skin by clove, dried sage, dried rosemary, 2 tbspoon of vodka) The smell had been terrible delisious, and my apartment had been warm and my guests had felt welcome and comfortable.

About Me View Profile

Miroslava Plaunova

My fitness life started early as a semi-professional athlete in running and endurance development. I earned several levels of professional recognition in running, tried some gymnastics and took ballet classes. Later I mostly dedicated my life to work (I have BSc in Pharmacology) and family, raised three children. About four years ago I decided to become Fitness Instructor, first hand experiencing difficulties of getting back on track. I am immensely grateful to Fitness Coordinator of City of New York Parks & Recreation Nancy Klitsner, who inspired me to join and successfully complete Aerobics Leadership Training Program. To learn more, I decided to acquire National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Personal Trainer Certification, followed by Group Exercise Instructor Certification by Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), Exercise and Nutrition Works Fitness Nutrition Specialist Certification. Now I am Personal Trainer at Bally Total Fitness, leading Strength and Stretch classes at Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, offering individual and small groups exercises at home and parks locations and developing tailored nutrition programs. I am proud to use my knowledge and experience to help people get fitter, develop healthy lifestyle, and raise confidence in them.
