People I’m still on the diet and I’m keeping my word. As promised in my previous post, here are the before (left) and after (right) shots of my mid-section.

It took a loooong time to find a before picture. I’ve been too self-conscious to allow vulnerable shots to exist more than a second!

I couldn’t believe it at first. Nearing the end of Phase 1, I became aware that my round tummy is slowly decreasing in size! Just like it says on the book, SBD does work on your midsection first.

I logged my weight & measured my body and not to throw you off your meal but here they are, in case you’re curious:

In Phase 1, I lost 3 kgs! The two weeks in Phase 2 I lost just 1 kg. But still! I am so happy, happy, happy! *sing-song voice*

I have succumbed. When I read Leah’s post about PayPerPost, I checked it out. It took me another 3 days to decide before I registered. It’s quick and painless, and reading from Leah’s updates I’m encouraged and really loving it so far!

This is my second “sponsored” post since my blog has been approved. I don’t even have a penny to show as profit yet. But what I want to share with you, if you are thinking of earning a few quids (okay, dollar) from your hobby, is that it’s not as “scary” as one might suppose. Once approved you get a list of opportunities to select from and of course, select topics that are of interest to you. You will only be required to add a link and generally blog as you normally would. Not only that with PPP, you can also flag your post for blog reviews & get paid for it!

I’ve only been able to post a lot lately because I’m not yet swamped with work. And I think with PPP’s non-restrictive rules, I can manage one to three opportunities a week. Now that doesn’t sound so bad, right? Perhaps you can give PayPerPost a try, too.
