Expanding my reach while reducing my body.
I think I mentioned previously that I had gone to a weight loss clinic with my daughter in an attempt to lose at least some of the weight I’ve gained over the years. If my scale is correct, I have lost 12 lbs. so far. I big gain (make that loss) for me in oh so many ways! Now I’ve decided to also begin writing more seriously in the hopes that I can bring in a few more dollars while doing something I already do on a daily basis - just doing it with more focus. I joined Associated Content and submitted my first article today. Of course, like they say to do so often, I stayed with what I know. My first article is about cooking chicken - different ideas for cooking chicken that I came up with while caring for my mother. I figured others might enjoy having a few new ideas for using chicken that they got on sale without having to always make the same thing again and again. There are other things I can write about as well, I know. Some related to cooking, some related to saving money, others related to my life experiences. I think I’ll enjoy it once I get into it more. Plus, they have a special now where you get paid a bonus if you publish five articles or ten articles by July 31. Every penny helps these days. I think I’ll go weigh myself and see if I’ve lost any more weight. It was fun seeing that when I stood on the scale, it actually registered my weight instead of exceeding the scale’s limits (sadly, that was a fact for quite a while). I may even write about that! Wish me luck.
