Time for a change – almost the final results of the diet

Sometimes I feel like a rolling stone, always rolling around, making a track that get lost in the wind..

It’s time for a change. Todays Extravaganza – session was the last before the summer holiday, the last of the sessions with education. Time for a summary.

  • Have lost A LOT of weight. Personally, 22 kilos are lost. The entire group (12 persons) have lost more than 190 kilos. In average, we’ve lost 18½ percent body fat.
  • All in group told that they are in better shape than ever, a key to success.
  • There will be group training regularily until mid January, another key to personal success for each person. To lose THAT amount of weight mean that the body are desperate to get  back in the “last known good” situation, it simply want all back (and then some).
  • The people in group with Diabethes 2, are cured.

Now, it’s time for the real test, to see if the change will last.

Report from two weeks of training


2009
06.09

Since last monday was 2. day of Pentecost,it was a national holyday in Norway. Hence no weekly report.

The last two weeks training have proven that the high felt initially has a cost. Have been tired physically. Not as tired as the taily tiredness of being overweight and in seriously bad shape, but not in too good shape either.

Seemes as if the body have normalized itself quite a bit. Hope it’s for the good in the long run.

Opera: ZPixmap not supportet in 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope

Tips for how to correct the ZPixmap – problem in Opera (and probably a few other program as well):

According to some guy at Blogspot it is an issue with the Intel driver. He did post the issue before Ubuntu 8.10, but it is still not fixed (as of 9.04).

If you got the problem on your computer (with an Intel graphics card) you’ll see the message ZPixmap not supported when running Opera from console. The fix is simple: Just add the line Option “AccelMethod” “XAA” in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as the last element in the “Device” section. Reboot to ensure that the drivers are loaded as they should, and you’re up and running.
