The festival is over, time for a reckoning following a relaxed eating weekend.

What fun I had this weekend, believing it was OK to eat what I fancied and I fancied eating take away, based on a mix of nutritious and outrageously delicious, festival fun foods and knowing I could be responsible if I was slightly overindulging in calories and going off course nutritionally given I was in a healthy weight range (as quite distinct form looking better if I shed another size), and it would be OK to indulge, while here at this show. 

I off set this festival eating with calorie burn of long retailing hours and physical work of unloading and setting up an exhibition and packing it again at the end of the festival, I also walked a lot and even ran my short distance sprints and I probably burnt off most of the excess calories from having eaten two pavlova slices with decadent cream and strawberries and one double scoop ice cream cone, spread out over three days.  I did not eat any bread, nuts or seeds over these (away from my usual eating pattern), eating sweet foods days, so that would have been some substitution for the calories I usually eat and I would not eat like this often as for the most part, I actually love the healthy diet I normally choose..

The rest of my eating while at this festival, was healthy, chicken and mushrooms, sweet corn, lamb shank, my regular rolled oats skim milk and low fat yogurt, and three fruit serves a day.  I am about a month away from being home now so I have added meat occasionally back into my diet as I will arrange to give blood a few times and bring my iron levels down to normal as soon as I get back home.  I have become very tired of eating legumes after my three months on a low iron diet and look forward to a wider range of foods, once this iron overload issue is sorted out.

As I was eating different foods than usual this weekend, I kept a running tally in my head, of my calcium serves and took extra calcium, magnesium and Vit D 3 supplement before bed, though I didn’t keep any tally on calories and I was well aware I was eating for pleasure and not just hunger, though never did I eat beyond comfortable.

I feel at peace with how I ate, I chose to eat like this, guilt free, and did not see it as ‘emotional eating’, nor something I need to be LOL , ‘cured’, of doing, and I felt  confident and capable of making non drastic adjustments, not dieting to compensate, just eating very healthy this week, more vegetables for starters and no sugar added foods and I will be waiting until I am hungry to eat and stopping eating as soon as I am satisfied.

 It does feel good, to have thrown the scales in the bin, know I can now afford, once in a blue moon to let my hair down around food, knowing I don’t binge when I do and knowing It will not be very often that I even want to eat like this, not often enough to be anything but a positive experience for me.  I would see any eating like this if I felt it would be a health or weight issue, as self abuse, not a place I will go again.

My planned emotional satisfaction this week will be painting beautiful gorges in the Pilbara.

My planned exercise will be hiking up hillsides in this glorious country.

I am having all the fun of the festival, here at the Nameless Festival at Tom Price.  I have even relaxed my usual strict healthy eating practice and taken advantage of the best of the foods and flavours even those of the once in a blue moon variety, while here enjoying this lovely relaxed, family fun, and show.

The weather is glorious, ideal for the entertainment, zorb balls, animal nursery, fire twirlers, and street parade to mention a few.

It’s reasonably quiet as unfortunately Swine flu and gastro have both affected some people in the town and a lot of people are staying away from the show to avoid crowds.  That has been the ‘story’ for a lot of the show run this year and retailers have had a fairly slow retail run and added to that, many  retailers who had been struggling back in the Eastern states of Australia due to the financial downturn, have decided to join the retailers who travel the show route, the result being too many retailers, sharing the little money available for spending at the shows, so seasoned show retailers who have been doing this show run for a couple of decades, have had a very tough time, trying to make a living this year.

That’s where Reg and I are different, we are here for the enjoyment of the experience and if we can make enough to put diesel fuel in the car to get to the next town and then do the same in that town and at a good show, make enough to pay for a car service, we are more than happy.  We are not after a working wage and besides that, neither of us work that hard, I need to keep an eye on Reg and Reg does what he can and enjoys doing but needs to be able to take a break, any time he needs one, it’s just not a full on job for us, it's our retirement, hobby business, now.

Actually it’s often when retail is at its quietest that Reg and I get to enjoy a show the most.  It was at such a quiet show, last year; I outfitted Reg with a new wardrobe of clothing from a fellow retailer as Reg had lots of time to quietly try every thing on. 

Yesterday I took the time to buy my teenage grandson, his birthday present, I am rather pleased with what I found, it’s not easy for a senior to buy for a teenage boy who does not want anything boyish, not, old mannish, LOL but I think I ‘got it right’, this time.

Today I went to the EDGE Prime Health Group, marquee, for a free health and weight check assessment.  I was asked about my diet and exercise program, given some additional advice on how to fine tune it to help loose a little more excess body fat over time, then I had BMI explained to me and they said things I already knew, about how BMI does not calculate bone or muscle mass and how a number of slim healthy people are overweight according to the inaccurate assessment of BMI charts and how measuring of the body and assessment of muscle and bone width was the right way to determine healthy weight.

I was assessed as having high muscle mass and wide bone mass that would weigh heavier than for most women, even with osteoporosis.  Various body measurements were taken, the main ones under the bust, and my waist versus my hip measurements indicated that I have a waist to hip ratio of .72 and anything below .8 for a woman is considered a HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT.

 I am ECSTATIC!   This is an assessment I have wanted to have done by someone trained to take the measurements, evaluate, my own body, in an impartial, unbiased way, something I did not feel I was totally qualified to do for myself.  

Now I do, understand, fitness and body shape improvement is never a place where you begin and then reach the final destination, I will continue to work on improving my fitness, but I have it from the experts.   I AM AT MY CORRECT WEIGHT and with a margin to spare. J.

I think I should celebrate. Is it too late to hire a ball gown and a tuxedo and head off to the Tom Price Ball?  J.   

I love this beautiful picturesque friendly town of Tom Price, and now I have an extra special reason to remember it, it’s where I passed my weight, shape and size, fitness test with flying colours.

Danger, food sales with no bain-marie. Salmonella WARNING!
My blog is usually a positive one, but where health and safety issues are concerned, there is nothing positive I have to say about putting the public health at risk.

On the other hand, I do want to share a very positive message of how food poisoning caused by poor food handling and the resulting deterioration in my previous chronic health conditions, a period of disability support which allowed me to rest and recover from extreme ill health and a longer period of time, two and a half years now of positive lifestyle change, has granted me a second chance at life.

 

My story is triggered by my witnessing today, one of the worst breaches of health and safety in food handling. A family of stall holders here at the Nameless festival at Tom Price, broke numerous food handling rules and with one of the easiest to spoil foods, chicken.  The practices I witnessed have the potential to make people very ill and even cause death.

At mid afternoon two stall holders arrived with a large esky type container and they proceeded to unload take away food containers of precooked chicken meals on to trestle tables out in the sunshine.

 This broke several Western Australian,  health legislation's, the first being that chicken in not allowed to be prepared away from the site where it is sold, at a take away food stall, it must be cooked at the site.  Secondly the food must never be in the sunshine, and thirdly it must be kept at or above 60 degrees Celsius.

The food sat there for several hours, all the time I am looking at these warm sweaty containers of what would be contaminated chicken and wondering, ‘why on earth had they not been closed down by the organizers of the festival’.  I even spoke to several people about it and they could see no harm in it. Said, ‘it was good food they had bought some, admittedly when it first went on to the table hot, and they liked it’.   They were not worried about the risk of salmonella poisoning to the public,~~~ I was worried.

So I wandered back n forth, every now and then, keeping an eye on how this food was stored and served and a fellow stall holder, opposite them, was also concerned and watched and she told me, 'the food having gone from hot at mid afternoon to sitting warm in the sun for hours and then going cold, by evening was now being in the microwave ready for sale'. By 10pm people were buying chicken kept at bacteria growing temperatures for hours.

On top of those serious breaches of health and safety laws, the food  sellers were both chain smoking  while handling the food containers, bare hands, no gloves, no hand washing equipment and to add insult to injury the sign at the front of the stall said ‘the money from the sale of the food was to be donated to a charity’, neither I nor the only other person, who seemed concerned about it, had ever heard of, and there was nothing there to indicate there was a genuine charity involved, just the hand written sign, there was  no charity logo, brochure, nothing to show the supposed charity was anything but a rouse to increase sales and decrease the cost of the sites rental.

Every other food stall, as far as I am aware, on the show run, is professional, health and safety conscious and I would be prepared to eat at.  Certain food stalls I do regularly look forward to eating at.  I love my lamb shank, from the lamb van man and I do have a favourite, Asian food seller who makes a delicious chicken and mushroom  dish, the sweet corn van is a must visit at every show for Reg and myself.

I once purchased a dodgy garlic prawn’s dish at the Royal Melbourne Show, it was not from one of the regular food exhibitors I know, I should have read the warning signs and not purchased from a less than well equipped food seller.
I am worried for the health of those eating at the stall I described and urge show visitors, at any take away food venue, to see that cold foods are under refrigeration and hot foods are in a bain-marie.

I took a photo of the left over from today’s, prepared for sale food, on that stall, Iv'e described.  I wish I could have marked the containers as I have a horrid suspicion that, given the food sellers appear only interested in profits not customer safety, I think that food will be served tomorrow to the unwary customers at the Nameless Festival, at Tom Price.  I hope no one becomes seriously ill and hope some official will see the sense in putting these people out of the food handling business, quickly.

Getting back to my own experience with contaminated show food which resulted in a dreadful night in an emergency department in hospital where an impatient doctor decided that I must be ill from a diet of fairy floss, show bag junk and show rides and he never realized I was in fact a hard working show exhibitor, trying to sell my wares and eat as healthy as I could, while working the long hours involved in working on the show circuit. This doctor, abused me about my ‘life style’, and I was in no shape to tell him I felt he was, misjudging me.  He would however have been able to see that I was morbidly obese and so could have, in all fairness, assumed this was from eating junk food.  I sure know you can’t expect, TLC, in that particular hospitals, as, even while ill and in pain,  I was given a sound ‘telling off’ and I was told to ‘put myself on a three year, get back into shape, life style change.’  As much as I thought it inappropriate at the time, the memory stuck with me and once I had gotten over having been bullied while ill, I saw the common sense and the constructive possibilities of the ‘telling off’.

That gastro from the bad prawns, was the straw that almost broke the camel’s back, in my case and I actually had to go on a disability pension for some time, it took me several years to recover from that sever gastroenteritis  and the aggravation that acute illness had on my pre existing, chronic health issues.  I would have been in difficulties and not been able to take the time to recover enough to begin a get fit program a couple of years later, had disability assistance not been available to me.

For most people who need to be on a disability pension it’s not always easy to obtain, and good advice on how to complete your application is recommended.   In the US, Allsup is a leading nationwide, provider of financial and healthcare related services to people with disabilities and they have a 98% success rate in obtaining the disability pension for people who complete the application process through them. I am unsure if they have an Australian counterpart, but they would be a good place to start to make inquiries.   

I think there are far more people who struggle on working, when they would qualify for a disability pension than there are people who would rout the system and sometimes it takes a period of rest following illness, only achievable for most, with some financial support, to enable full recovery to take place and a chance to make those life style changes to allow a second chance at life.    Allsup has been active since 1984, and has helped more than 110,000 people receive their entitled social security disability , Insurance and Medicare benefits. 


Postscript. 
I am happy :-). Beautiful Tom Price, in Nameless Valley, is not going to be in the news for the wrong reasons.
 At 9am this morning, that unsafe food handler/seller, was closed down and everything including table cloths and tables, taken away.
A huge sigh of relief from me.

Postscript. 
Not so happy :-(. 11.40 am, I have heard the news, there has been an outbreak of gastroenteritis, in Tom Price.

Reg and I arrived in Tom Price today after having spent a couple of days relaxing in bush camp site overlooking a spectacular gorge in the Karijini National Park in the Pilbara of Western Australia. 

I have decided have to return to that same peaceful and private camping site and paint and I hope to work on some watercolours of Mt Nameless while here at my Tom Price exhibition at the base of Mt Nameless.

Art cards are a big feature of my exhibitions these days and I am always looking for ideas to interpret in my own way.  I know many of my friends use mantras, and motivational quotes to inspire them to fulfill their goals in life, if you have a quote you would like to share with me, or even see used with my art image, in a card, I would love to hear it.  I get many of my good quotes through web searching, like this one I love, “Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.” Henry Van Dyke, quote.

I found some lovely cards and an interesting blog about creative work, at birth announcements  

Why am I talking about my card making on a slimming blog?

 My attitude to slimming is one of self nurture.  My plan for self care, includes, healthy eating and exercise but this is not a complete plan, without creative fulfillment.  Also as I am at a mature age with osteoporosis, I am not seeking rapid weight loss, in fact keeping my weight toward the high side of what is normal for me, will be my weight goal, as strong bones and good health mean more to me now than a very slim body.  I am not sure what will be the right size for me yet, but I know there is no rush to get to my slimmest size, there is time to enjoy bird song and self fulfillment that I get through creativity and if I am leading a healthy life style, my body to find its own weight set point, rather than my needing to set a goal weight for my body.  I am happy with this plan.

What talents do you have, that you can use today to help yourself feel more fulfilled?

What are your favourite motivational or humorous quotes that would be fantastic to use on cards?

Is self nurture a large part of your, healthy and natural slimming, plan?

I would love to hear your comments.

I wanted to show you the comfortable interior of our eco tourer slip stream caravan that Reg and I call home for half of each year. 

I love its sleek easy clean surfaces, and the fact that it is the shower and toilet model, and I have my own ladies vanity wash basin and don’t have to use the kitchen sink for my personal needs.

I love the comfort and luxury of natural leather trim seating and that the kitchen table folds back to a small bench which can give me sufficient floor space to do my exercise while watching an exercise DVD. 

There are a lot of storage areas, a huge amount of storage space under the bed, just as well because during the last three trips I have had to carry several lots of clothing, the size I currently wear and one size smaller to come home in, LOL, it’s been fun discarding something that is now too big for me at every town we stay a week in.  The discarding is slowing down now but I still have my next size, I hope to go home in, clothes stored under the bed.

I love that the TV in our caravan is suspended out of the way, from the ceiling. It pivots so you can watch it from the back of the van, in the double bed or from the dining area at the front of the van.   We are fully self sufficient, I can watch my exercise DVD’s powered by the solar power panel that is mounted on the roof.

With TV’s becoming slimmer it’s not always safe leaving them self supporting, we have already had an accident with one, Reg accidentally dropped the one I bought for our summer retreat home in northern Victoria, he reacted to try to protect the TV and the floor and put his leg out to break the fall and we ended up with Reg’s ankle and the TV both broken and a dint in the floor.  It didn’t matter about the TV or the floor but it set Reg back considerably, his needing to rest his leg for months, he has fully recovered now, thankfully.

I bought him another, even better TV.
I do need to search for a secure tv stand so we don’t have any more accidents with these new, slim designed, television sets.

Do you need a little extra?
I am interested in natural health care and I do consider supplements to my diet when they are needed for good health reasons and at the same time I am wary and skeptical of the elixir of youth, cure everything, snake oil sellers. I had one of those funny moments I will never forget when an overzealous sales person, partially overheard me, when I told someone “I was vertically challenged”. Not wanting to miss the sales opportunity he grabbed a can of his ‘concoction in a tin, and thrusting it within a foot of my face, proceeded to tell me ‘it would cure me of whatever it was I had just told my friend I had’.  Well we both laughed at him and didn’t buy and I’m still only 5’2”. LOL, J.

There is a place for supplements to help fix deficiencies that cannot be modified by diet. My own body does not manufacture enough vitamin D from the sunshine.  I was struck by skepticism and disbelief that vitamin D supplementation would be needed, when I requested a blood test to see if I was making sufficient of this vitamin.  I was quite rudely told to ‘go stand in the sun for five minutes’ if worried that I didn’t have enough vitamin D. As it happened, I was right to be concerned and ask for the test , as I was abnormally low and did need to take supplements.

I have been reading about human growth hormone and how this naturally occurring substance is made in the body usually in the correct amounts for each stage of a person’s life.

Human growth hormone, or hgh supplements have taken off in a big way, and I found the above link, an interesting read, as it explained a lot about these supplements that I hadn’t known before.  While hgh is not an elixir of youth and slimming as touted by some, nor are all hgh stimulants safe or effective and some like the performance enhancing drugs, are banned in sports, there are some people who may need some,  preferably very safe and natural hgh stimulating supplements if they are below adequate levels, (something they can find out through blood tests.

With all supplements if needed, it’s then a case of weeding out the good from the bad, the best are usually well balanced natural supplements that stimulate your body to perform at its best, given the stage of life we are in. 

Comments are welcome.  What is your opinion? Do you take supplements?

I began running early this year, after reading and being inspired by the blog ‘A Girl Running’, written by my friend, Sharon.    Sharon took the time, (thanks Sharon) J, to explain to me how I could learn to run. Sharon told me that one of the best programs to help me get started would be using the training podcast from the“Couch to 5 Kilometer", training program.  Sharon explained that these training sessions, were available as a free podcast to be downloaded on to an ipod.

HUH!   
LOL, I felt lost out of place and time!
‘What were ipods?’  I asked.
‘What’s a podcast?’ 

I’m a senior; technology is leaping ahead of my knowledge base. 
‘How do you download a podcast’?  Podcast and iPod were not words I recognized and this all sounded stranger to me than the concept that I could take up running with my past health history.

When I need to catch up with what was going on in the world since the invention of the PC and digital camera, I consult the experts, my grandchildren. 

Sure enough both grandsons  knew about iPods and told me heaps about them, they knew a lot more about them than, my adult children, so I did’t feel quite such a dunce .  The grand children also did not think overweight Nana was insane because she wanted an iPod to use to learn to run; it appeared to make perfect sense to the youngest members of my family.

Reg was supportive of my wanting my iPod to help with my fitness training, he is always supportive of my fitness efforts, and he knows it’s for both our benefit.  I think it’s my children who sometimes think I have lost my marbles, especially when after dinner one evening, when visiting my younger daughter, I put on and laced up the joggers, clipped my cute little hot pink, iPod Shuffle on to my blouse, popped in the ear plugs and headed out the door into a dark and rainy night to walk and run with enthusiasm.

I love my iPod Shuffle.it suits my lifestyle, all my fitness equipment has to be compact and light weight so it can travel with me on tour in the caravan.

Week one of the C25K training is brisk five-minute warm-up walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes then a 5 minute cool down period.  Of course you can do this without the aid of listening to the podcast, but for me at least and I know for many others, the “Couch to 5 Kilometer" training podcast on an iPod, is the ideal, enjoyable way to add running into our fitness training routine.

Indigo, my miniature poodle, loves that I can now burst into a spontaneous jog trot with her, at any time. That's something I never could have done before I began my C25K training. 

Thank you once again Sharon, your enthusiasm for running was catching and the time you spend giving positive feedback to those you have inspired is hugely appreciated.

    _Happy New year :-)
    I am going to combine several seemingly contradicting eating and exercise programs and put together my own Artslim Naturally slimming and Gray-Nomad fitness program.  I plan to bring these out as a low cost EBook and small paperback. They will suit anyone interested in managing weight with son=me difficult health conditions such as metabolic syndrome and past injuries.

     I'll be showing you some of the books I am reading that have some excellent qualities, although they will not be exactly what I am putting together to suit me and my style of doing things.
    I will be focusing on eating and exercising for wellness, weight loss if obese, weight management and balanced fulfilling lifestyle..
