Looks like the Bahama Mama Challenge was just what I needed. The scales showed a 1.2kg (2.6lb) loss today.

Better yet, I measured myself today and there's 10.5cm (4.1") less of me than a month ago!

Go me!

In total, I've lost the following:

Neck: 3cm (1.1")
Bust: 8.5cm (3.3")
Under Bust: 6cm (2.3")
Waist: 8cm (3.1")
Belly: 16cm (6.2")
Hips: 11cm (4.3")
Thigh: 5cm (1.9")

My upper arm measurement hasn't changed, but the muscle I've put on has toned up the 'bat wings' I had a bit.

As you may have gathered from the tone of this post, the challenge and the results have left me feeling pretty chipper. It feels really nice when your hard work pays off.

Of course, with such a big loss, next week I imagine that I'll be lucky not to put on. But maybe, if I keep sticking to the challenge, I'll see more results like these.

The best part is that the challenge is not even hard. It's just re-focusing in on what I know I should be doing. Exercise, watch my portion sizes, drink water and make good food choices.

I may not be off to the Bahamas in January, but if this keeps up, I'll sure have the body for it!
