Healthy2018 Steem Contest - This Stewards Of Gondor STRIKES AGAIN!
Healthy 2018 Challenge & Contest
When I turned on my laptop a while ago @karenfoster's post Healthy2018! Overnight Oatmeal Breakfast Jars popped up first in my feed. It's kind of ironic because I was getting ready to post my own healthy2018 update on my husband's health, a recipe he loves that I just started making and my personal weight loss update.
After I completed my post, I headed over to hers to read and comment. KUDOS and a GREAT job @karenfoster!

Here was the post I made. But as I was commenting on Karen's post, my mind started whirling and we ALL know what that means... It means @goldendawne is stewing and brewing up a new contest!
Ever since I became a Stewards Of Gondor (thanks to the generosity and honor bestowed upon me by @fulltimegeek) I have been on a personal crusade to pay-it-forward and assist new steemians and assist my fellow homesteaders.
What Is A Healthy 2018?
It is whatever you want it to be.
See my original post here explaining it doesn't necessarily mean weight loss or dieting. It could be financial freedom, a new career, less stress, etc.
YES- It Can Be Mean So Many Different Topics For Different People
Weight & Healthier Lifestyle
Eat better
Read nutrition labels
Eat out less
Cut back on portions
Exercise more
Say no to sugar more often
Drink more water
Take care of your body more and better
Giving Up That Bad Habit
Stop smoking
Drink less alcohol
Stop spending money impulsively
Stop being pessimistic
Finding Your Place With God & Spiritually
Go to church more often
Pray more often
Ask for forgiveness
Forgive others
Be at peace
Mend that broken fence in a relationship
Financial Freedom
Start a budget
Stick to that budget
Save for the proverbial rainy day
Don't impulse buy
Give to others
Donate money or time

Wow I hadn't even realized this contest existed and I made a health post an hour after it. I call these happenstances collective consciousness moments. (they're way to interesting to be considered mere coincidence!) I didn't even learn til just now that I've been made a Steward of Gondor. I am so honoured & blessed to be a part of this fantastic community!!! <3

A sensational idea...
Dont worry, just read my posts about STEEM and we will clear all that up.
I have been following you extremely closely for the last month or two. Do you sometimes feel breath on your neck? Yeah, that's me...
Oh good....when I have the itch in the middle of my back, now I can message you to take care of it.....
Plus I am glad it is not some paranormal activity stalking me from another dimension.
That is a huge relief.
For me only one thing - DRINK MORE WATER.
I don't know how I don't feel the thirst, but I apparently don't, still it is a bit of a problem when it becomes too late.
I've always heard that if you feel thirsty or feel dehydrated (dry lips, etc) then you are already dehydrated. So by you NOT feeling thirst means you are hydrated.
If you are struggling with frequently being dehydrated you can try having a salty snack, like salted french fries or lemonade with a pinch of salt, which will give you sodium and potassium, important mineral electrolytes needed to keep fluid balance in the body. You will retain fluids this way. If you aren't getting enough electrolytes even drinking more might not help enough as the water could go right through you. That's why Gatorade helps people in the hotter months when they sweat a lot. It's also why they give saline ivs in the hospital. I am chronically dehydrated from a hormone problem which means I'm on a high salt diet. my body broken lol the salty snack with water is a good emergency dehydration measure especially if you're feeling light-headed and faint.
Definitely going to participate - I was planning on writing a personal development article this Saturday anyways so this is perfect!
PERFECT! We are so on the same wave-length!!
Can't wait to read it!
