Širvintos district mayor Živilė Pinskuvienė marked her 51st birthday by sharing a photo of herself on the beach, embracing the sweet side of life. Posed in a black swimsuit with a coconut resting on her feet, Pinskuvienė radiated contentment.
Today I am 51. The more years, the less desire to be perfect and the more desire to simply be happy. Calmly. With a smile. Without a great need to prove anything to anyone. I am still walking. I am still learning. I am still dreaming. I am still laughing. I still love life. And everything else... Just numbers. Life is still tasty and sweet like that coconut.

Her post was met with numerous birthday wishes from followers, who praised her appearance and contributions to the Širvintos region. Previously, Pinskuvienė has spoken about the dedication required to maintain a healthy lifestyle. She acknowledged that achieving and maintaining a good appearance requires significant effort, especially when genetics might predispose one to a larger build.
We women, let's not lie to each other and deceive ourselves that it doesn't take effort. Everything takes effort, and if genetics are a bit, let's say, inclined towards being heavier, then that's how you'll be, or you have to put in maximum effort. I won't say I don't put in the effort. All the time, whether it's morning, noon, or evening, I think about what I eat. This is unavoidable.

I can live without bread, meat, vegetables, but never without pastries or cake. Sometimes a whole day goes by with a piece of cake or pastry, again, you understand, if the brain is working, it needs quick energy.
Pinskuvienė also admitted her strong fondness for sweets, describing them as her primary food source, even over bread or meat. She also noted her near-complete avoidance of alcohol, reserving it only for exceptional celebrations. She and her husband have recently adopted a stricter diet, avoiding food after 6 p.m. and abstaining from alcohol, a regimen that has led to significant weight loss for both.
To look good in swimsuits, let's get ourselves together. So, since the New Year, we haven't eaten since 6 p.m. and haven't consumed a drop of alcohol. This rule has practically not been broken today.
