Alt noenlunde vel sålangt… selv om jeg kanskje ikke føler jeg er helt der enda….. Men det er i hvertfall en start 
Jeg sliter litt med å holde måltidstidene og klare 5 måltider hver dag. Middagen blir ofte litt sen – og gjerne litt for store – så da blir det ikke alltid så lett å få til et siste kveldsmåltid . men jeg håper det ikke gjør så mye om jeg skofter det – eller kun tar meg en gulrot eller et glass skummet melk i stedet.
Måltidsplanen min er å ha frokost før jeg drar på jobb – lunsj mellom 11 og 1130, et lite mellommåltid kl 14-15, og deretter middag når jeg er kommet hjem fra jobb + et siste lite kveldsmåltid i passe tid før sengetid ( som ikke skal være for sent ).
men i det minste har jeg kuttet ut all tullespising som har med chips og sjokolade å gjøre og jeg har prøvd å lage mest mulig måltider fra bunn av… selv om jeg har litt igjen for å helt klare det.
Treningsplanen min ( fra og med neste uke pga jeg vrikket foten i Sirdal ) er å ha 3 faste treninger i uken – og evt trene mer hvis jeg ønsker/føler for det. Som jeg sa til RA så har jeg hatt en tendens til å gå ut 150% – og deretter gå lei/trett litt for raskt… De tre treningene jeg satser på er en “lang”kjøring på godt over en time (f.ex sykle til/rundt Harfsfjord, eller å gå rundt Stokkavatne), en intervalltrening (etterhvert på minst 40 minutt inkl oppvarming) samt en styrketrening (trolig på styrkerommet på jobb).
.
Vel – wish me luck… 5 days gone – rest of my life to go…..

I think its will be easier for me to update this blog much more often if I write mainly in Norwegian – especially about changing my routine regarding my eating habits ( or lack there of…) and training experiences… But I will probably expend a bit later – and make a blog in English as well – if you want to be notified every time I write something in English – or then I start my other blog in English – please mail me on egil.viking@gmail.com
Nå har jeg bestemt meg for å endre kurs med vanene mine – spesielt når det gjelder kostholdsvanene – og derfor velger jeg å skrive på norsk fra nå av. Etter masse god inspirasjon fra helgen i Sirdal, – og masse tanker før og etter dette – håper jeg at jeg finner frem til en god måte for fungerer godt for meg selv ( og kanskje andre kan inspireres av dette). Jeg regner ikke med å finne trylleformelen for meg selv med en gang – så jeg antar det blir litt justeringer underveis. Og andre vil kanskje finne at noe (litt) annet fungerer bedre for dem selv.
Følg med i min “endringsprosess” for ett sunnere liv - jeg satser på å skrive update minst 3-4 ganger i uken fremover – kanskje enda mer nå i starten. Bilder kommer oxo

Posted in 2010, Training, intro, resolutions at 23:10 by admin
I feel my energy have gotten worse and worse in the last weeks/months – so I really need to do some changes – and try to reverse the situation – I think I’ve gotten into a bad / black
circle, – and that there is many factors leading to my lowered energy level.
- Tired after finishing the “race” Nordsjørittet at 2010-06-12
I had a good run of 17 days with exercise in the start of May, – but my training habit failed after my bachelor party and wedding preparations (no excuse – I know – but its the explanation ).
Also my sleeping pattern is not good – and I have slept badly for a long time – always leaving me tired ( except then I should go to bed in the evening )
Many times I fail to get small things done – in lack of determination to do them – maybe I have a bunch of small things to do – and in stead of doing one by one – I cant determinate which one to prioritize first – and ending up postponing it for late evening ( = less sleep ) – or leaving it undone for a long time - making me even more stressed for later…
Of course there is many more things I could do to get my energy level improved – but I try to focus on some things first.
1. Improve my sleeping / bedtime habits – try to go to bed earlier – and much more regularly - As well the same for getting up in the mornings more regularly
.
2. Improve my eating habits – cut down on carbohydrates ( especially the fast carbo like sugar) both in food and drinks, increase my fiber intake.
3. Exercise more, – try to get in at least 30 minutes (medium effect) exercise – at least 5 days in the week – and hopefully more. Main focus on walking, biking (to work?) and an occasional run. Also start training my back a little every day- and maybe even start training my strength later. ( example link from a Norwegian newspaper : Training for slackers )
4. Try to get things done, earlier and maybe a bit faster.
5. Be more structured in general
6….. probably some more
.
Maybe I will write more things about my improvement plans (maybe more details), and updates later.

The blog idea didn’t work out for me – trying to write about a Chinese character a day was to mush – and not really fun in the long run, – especially then I got less time between exam, working, planning wedding and so on… Actually using so much time writing about each character gave me less/no time to actually learn them :s
SO ! – now I plan to take it more easy – blog then I feel like it – write what I feel like – and see where it leads me – then I might structure it better after I see how I blog. – I plan to blog about 2-5 times a week – maybe more if I think its fun enough – and/or I write short
btw: close plans – change my daily diet, train more, loose weight, do some sensible around/in the house, work well and get some kind of vacation (preferable with my wife).
take care all and watch out : - Suddenly I blog again

Some weeks ago I got quite sick – having 8 days of over 39,5′C before I got myself put into hospital for 3 days, and loosing ( temporary ) 10 kg in 12 days after this. The fever did not make to big problem – but I attained multiple infections + virus in my mouth – making it VERY painful to eat , or even drink anything. Only water at 40′c was possible to get down without to much pain… so for over 2 weeks I lived on 300 kcal a day in average….
Now – 2-3 weeks after I can eat most things again – but still bits of my tongue is not ok – and my sense of taste is very different from before….
my back/leg problems are still not fixed – but finally I got myself to MR (X-ray) today – I hope so much I can start training again soon – before I put on again all 10 lost kg ( halfway back up already )
And I with the €[{£${€$£2 snow could disappear…. 74 days in a row and counting…. and former record was 49 days….
well all the best to you all

Posted in Stavanger, favorite place, favorite shop at 00:25 by admin
One of my favorite shops in Stavanger has to be Løvås Bruktbu, whom sells used books, comic series and books, and lots of used dvd’s ( and still some videos and other things ). I have probably been a regular customer in this shop for well over 25 years – since I was a little boy hunting for cheap comic books – and I’m quite sure I have many of those still on my loft ( which need to be cleaned up – btw… )
The prices varies from half the price of a new product (if its still quite new…) and from 1/5 till 1/3 of a new price for most relevant products, and down to “slim to nothing” for less sought items. Both on the inside and on the outside ( on the west/right side of the entrance door ) they have special discounts in a bundle – where you can get 5-15 comics/books for 10 NOK or something like that. Also on the outside on the east/left side of the entrance door they put out some magazines and books for free – both in Norwegian and English normally.
Of course have also some older collectors items that is many many times the original price
The neighborhood around this shop is quite colorful, with loft of foreign shops and eating places, and every Saturday in the summer half year there is a Saturday flee market close by at the Nytorget marketplace. Both this shop and the area around is well worth a couple of hours of sightseeing
Herby recommended by me
The address for Løvås Bruktbu is Pedersgaten 25 – and its open in normally business hours (normal for shops, not as late as shopping malls ) :

I’ve given my self till Jan. 10th to figure out exactly what I should have as my resolutions, and my targets for 2010…
I’ll might get me self a very busy first 4 months, – as I see I should be prepared and improved well before XY’s family comes on visit in the spring/summer. A man want to show of the little he can, of course hehe
So here are my primary thoughts of Targets/resolutions listed :
- help XY to look for a job
- finish painting the house
- fix up the garden another bit
- train regularly ( maybe min 3 times / 5 hours a week )
- train the back extra to prevent more trouble from that side of my body
- learn more Chinese ( 3 times 30 min a week? + one character a day )
- finish the Nordsjørittet bike race in less than average for all the bikers
- go more bike races?
- run around the Mosvannet lake non-stop, and under 17 minutes ( for first time in 12-15 years )
- get a wedding planned, and a date set?
- write down all costs of the year daily – so I can kept an eye on how I spend my money
- eat more healthy
- improve workman skills – and get a plan for how my career will go in the future
- finish up my Bachelor degree, preferable in may – and start thinking if i should go for more or not
- loose weight of course … -9 to-12 kg would be perfect but possible?
- clean up in the loft
- write some blog(s)
- keep having a profitable result in bets
- get a better % return on my stocks then the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSEBX)
- be smart about money in general – look through the personal economy, and look for a new bank?

I spent the minutes around midnight at the the ice on Mosvannet lake, – overlooking the fireworks from the Vålandtårnet Tower especially. I was nice to see the public fireworks, even I wished I was at the tower as planned, – but it was good to just be outdoors again – more or less first time since I injured my back.
At temperature -9′c it actually didn’t feel that cold – no wind and very dry air considering we are in the coastal city of Stavanger. My hands were quite cold after 45 minutes without gloves, but the rest of me was still pretty good and warm, – even without a thick/woolen sweater . Good for me hehe
Tomorrow I plan to post ( the first of ) my new years resolutions, – I still need some time to think about where to set my targets, and how I want to make my chances to manage them best possible. At the moment it looks like most of them should be done first 5 months of the year – and I must make sure I don’t bite over to much…
Good luck in 2010 for all of you and if you have any good new years resolutions for your selves – please let me know in the comments

whatever the year of 2009 brought you all, – I want to use the time and space to thank you all for the year that has been….
or like I’d say in my local tounge : Takk for d gamla ! ! ! !
soon there is a brand new unused year out there for us to grab

…. and the whole case of my back injury is stressing me a bit. I had so much I needed/wanted to do this week before the end of the year…. both on work – and private :-(
Well I have still about 23 hours to do a little, – but feel lost here, – as the snow and slippery roads together with low temperatures basically locks me in the house here. Even the fridge is soon empty.
A little thing I still can do is to think over 2009′s action – and wish and plan ahead for 2010. And tomorrow I will make my new years resolutions as usual. Normally I don’t keep so many of them – so I should think good this time, – and make smart ones. And not only should it be smart resolutions which is possible to keep, – but I should also think more carefully about how I can manage to fulfill my targets for 2010.
It’s not easy to fulfill my targets if I don’t have a good plan of how to fulfill them on schedule… Hopefully I can make a good effort on my targets in 2010.
I guess most my resolutions will be more or less copies of my former ones, – so to avoiddoing the same mistakes as before on these I need to come up with better plans, – plans leading to success for a change…
Else I still is wondering about what to write about in this blog, – what else than my resolutions of course….
Maybe I’ll bring out one of my new or old hobbies, – but not sure how interesting it will all be for the internet people out there, if I start sharing my less inner thoughts about photos, Viking FK, Stavanger area, Aston Villa fc, travelling, training, investing or learning Chinese …. or even about reading Manga comics, Donald Duck, different statues around Stavanger, our garden plants, my 199th trip around the Mosvannet lake, local history, Backgammon matches, whiskey and beer testing, or whatever I had for dinner last night…
Well, – we’ll see – but all suggestions, tips and advices will be red with interest

Well – you have plans – and you have plans… and then life, -
And I had LOTS of plans for these last days of 2010 : especially to clean out my inbox and undone tasks at the office (doing economics – these last and then first days of an old – and a new year can really be hectic…)
Also I planned to clear and clean out my personal papers and do whatever tax preparations I could do for 2009.
And I planned for some nice training trips on my “new” ergo metric indoor bike and maybe some nice walk outdoors in this “winter wonderland” that this year struck Stavanger around Xmas.
But plans aside – reality struck me Monday morning – then to my surprise I wake up with intense pain in my lower back – making it almost impossible to leave the bed. I had no idea what had happened – and I needed close to 15 minutes just to drag myself up from bed and to the toilet , – and I had to repeat the same again 2 hours later. Then I gave up any idea of going to work this day, – and sms’ed in sick. After getting up from bed again later that day, and starting to feel a little bit better / more flexible in the back – I called XY in China and told what happened. She of course became worried – and wanted me to go to the hospital right away – while I “of course” wanted to wait an see a little more before I did any more. So we settled for me calling my mom instead. Mom came with bus (due to the slippery roads) a couple of hours later, – and wanted me to lay flat down on the floor for a little so she could try to massage my back a little.
Well – this did not have the good effect we wanted – instead I was suddenly totally locked to the floor – having unknown pain in my back and down my right thigh/ass for any little movement I didn’t to try to get up. After 20-30 minutes and some screaming, moaning and a “healthy” share of tears we had no other option then to call for an ambulance to pick me up. Only 10 minutes later the paramedics was here with the ambulance and with the two of them + my mom I was safely put in the vehicle in less than 30 more minutes, and then driven to the emergency room of the hospital. 
The doctor told me I got swollen in the muscles around my lower back from shuffling away snow in the yard + slipping on the ice, – and that I probably would be very painful for 2-3 days before I would get gradually better.
After seeing the doctor, – including an injection into the right part of my ass, – my sister Grete and her husband Jan Egil came to pick us up at the hospital, and drive us to the emergency pharmacy for more painkillers, and then home. At this time I was put in a wheel chair to be rolled out from the doctors office to the door, due to my reaction to the injection was a pale white face, and a feeling of dizziness and nausea. This was actually a brand new car they had pick up form the car dealer this day, and on the 1,2 km distance from the pharmacy to my house – I made sure I was the first person to puke in it – as the injection now had made me sick as a dog. Luckily I manage to warn Jan Egil to stop at the first possible bus stop, – so I could aim my “crab food” out of the car door…
Well at home – I felt better after getting rid of my stomachs content – and I manage to eat my first proper meal for the day – at 21:00 in the evening. I told my mom I would manage at my own, – but waited another 90 minutes before I went to bed, – just in case.
At night I actually felt no better than on the day – and for the first 8 hours in bed I was just to afraid to fall asleep, – and had to get up every 2 hours for toilet, – needing 15 minutes for getting out of the bed every time and I only managed to lay on my back, – as all other positions and movements was to painful.
Finally in around 7 I could lay on my side, and fall asleep until around 09:30 then I got up again. I talked to mom in the phone – took my first painkiller pills, and called XY from the laptop. I still had big problem moving around, or doing anything – so my mom came by to check on my – but after being up 2-3 hours I started to feel better.
I hope the doctor is right about the 2 days… and I really hope I could even get myself to work at least half the day tomorrow… and I hope I can get a good night sleep tonight – and start tomorrow even less stiff then now…
Unfortunately I have no photos of me in the ambulance… I was kinda not thinking of that at that moment hehe
