I reached the 1000 follower milestone, which is amazing!!!! I am so happy about this, but also I feel a little regretful that I haven't been putting as much time into Steemit as I have wanted to lately!!! I definitely have lots of post ideas in my head but just a lack of time to write them. I am literally writing this post in a flurry on my lunch break while simultaneously trying to feed myself forkfuls of spicy chicken and cucumber.
Do I intend to change my rubbish-ness?!
Yes! Steemit, I miss you!
Why have I been so rubbish lately?
well it's a combination of things:
SmartCash
If you haven't heard much about SmartCash you should go check it out at: https://smartcash.cc
It is a new coin that is pretty awesome. SmartCash is a self-funded, decentralized, community-driven ,private cryptocurrency focused on merchant adoption and ease of use.
One really cool feature of SmartCash is SmartRewards which pays you just for holding the coin on a long term month to month basis

So I have gotten involved in the Outreach Hive of that project so that takes up some of the time I would have usually spent writing Steemit posts and browsing through Steemit! Or most of the content I have written lately has been SmartCash related - so that's why
Tough Mudder
I am doing Tough Mudder in Sydney on November the 18th. Now that I am in the 12 week countdown I am seriously focused. So a lot of my time is spent going to the gym, taking my dog for a walk or just trying to be generally active. I am also on a meal plan at the moment to help me be as healthy as possible when the time comes which involves eating 5 times a day, and all very specific meals, so I feel like I am forever cooking or cleaning my kitchen, but somehow my kitchen is always messy at the moment.
This life is exhausting!
In terms of an update on whether I could do 10 weeks without drinking alcohol:

I still haven't had any so far! I am also feeling really inspired to share some health hacks with you guys that I am learning along the way on how to improve my nutrition and just generally be more mindful of what I put in my body, so probably expect some of those foodie health hack type posts soon.
This week I discovered Vegan chocolate, and it is so good! Any of my fellow Aussie Steemians should check out Loving Earth if you are interested in trying a healthier version of chocolate.
How will I celebrate 1000 followers?
I want to do a giveaway of some SBD!! I would like to do a cool little contest just to have a fun activity to do on Steemit, so if you have any ideas let me know and I will do that this week!!
Thank you so much for the 1000! I am so happy! I love Steemit and I will try and dedicate some more time to Steemit this week!!

@msg768 wrote a really cool post about it here if you want to check it out: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@msg768/smart-cash-holders-got-400-in-rewards-in-the-first-month

I'm so happy for your achievement and also to know you are also focus and working hard in other activities of your life!
You're an amazing person and I'm sure you will manage to reach all your life goals \o/
I'm also getting really interested about this smart cash thing, is this really promising ?
I think I should spare some time to sit and learn a little more about it.
Congratulations @hannahlicious! Let's promote SmartCash and send it up to the moon so I can buy a house with my SMARTS! :P
omg yes please hahaha @msg768 :)
We all want SmartHouses :p even better when they are paid for in SMART
Congrats @hannahlicious! Movin on up! :)
thank you @stackin :)
nice, i folow u @hannahlicious!;)
I have been a pretty rubbish steemian too recently.
Haha i know the never ending kitchen mess woes, its like clothes washing, it just never seems to end. Good luck with Tough mudder!
Australian culture being what it is. alcohol is an insidious thing. Easy to give up and even easier to fall back into. Feels good after giving it up and a few weeks of training and healthy diet/water consumption.
Congrats on the 1000 followers btw!
all the best.
~Chris
omg the never ending laundry is the worst! hahaha

Congrats on 1000 followers and good luck with your future plans. Got interested in SmartCash will take a look at it.
Grats Hannah! Thanks for all the hard work you've been putting in over on the SmartCash end, and it is sort of regretful about the Steem time, I feel the same way! We'll work on ways to incorporate the two..

Congrats on the milestone, Im also checking that smartchash coin, it sounds interesting, thanks for sharing and keep steeming!
its the best passive income stream in town at the moment, make sure to join the slack channel if your into chatting with Smarties...
You have been missed.
Would love to see some posts regarding the prep you're doing for tough mudder! One year I'd like to give it a go, but certainly not this year.
I very much get the feeling terrible about not putting in enough. I have a page of post ideas, and I still seem to struggle to put up 3-4 posts a week, without anything else really going on to take up my time!
Congratulations on 1k followers!
Yay! You deserve the big following! Your posts are awesome😊 And you work hard at good content.
I've also been so busy with work/ life and everything in between that I don't get to post as often as I should. But I don't beat myself up about it, I used to, but that does not create good content, forcing yourself to write every day.
Glad you are so busy - but I miss your posts!
Hello @ hannahlicious!
How are you and how are things?
Can you please ask you husband if there are any news about SmartCash been added as well on Bittrex ( it is the only exchange that i am using as with other ones i had some problems in the past and promise i will never use them)
The reason i am asking is because i want to buy 20K in SmartCash but i can not since is not listed on Bittrex... maybe you can give me some updates.. at least a date when the coin is going to be added there.
Thanks a lot and have a great day!
I am good thank you how are you doing?
I think they are working on being added to Bittrex... I will ask him and let you know if there is any news on how long it will take or if there is a date yet :)Hi @georgesmales :)
I am very good thanks for asking!
If they will added on Bittrex it will be great as i already downloaded the wallet and syncronize it with the network and i want to buy like 20K SmartCash coins. Please let me know if you have updates!
Take care and always Steem On!😉
