40 days of busting my rear (really) or the next 20 days!

Just realized I should have posted a different title since my old one got bumped.

If you saw my post a little over 20 days ago then you know what this is about if you didn't... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/530324-20-days-of-busting-my-rear-and-this-is-what-i-get-graphic?error_user_id=17702099&error_username=RachelsReboot there is part 1

I wasn't going to post an update because I feel like I haven't made much progress, I've taken a few days off for Holidays, had to put in a crap load of overtime and since it was physical work it had to replace some of my workouts. I decided to go ahead with this partly because so many people are expecting it and partly because if I don't bite the bullet and do it now then I may lose my drive to keep going. This is sort of my accountability, I know you guys are expecting a good progress report and I better bust my rear to give you one.

I've only lost 5lbs since my last update and not many inches but my shape is changing. My bloat in my stomach has gone down a LOT and my butt, well my butt hurts!

For those interested here is my April training routine http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/RachelsReboot/view/my-april-training-routine-who-says-low-carb-makes-your-tired-242709

Not sure why my back looks like my rolls came back I assure you they haven't and right under my bra line is muscle that feels like it's swollen. The first pic I was a size 2x (18-20) Shirt and a 42 DDD, the last pic is now size L (12-14) and yes the pink bra is too big, I just got new ones 38D

These are the hardest, I don't see a difference but I feel it, my bloat is nearly gone now to get that layer of fat off so my muscles can shine through!

Like I said, my butt hurts! I have been really working those glutes!

It's not the kind of progress I'd hoped for but maybe posting it will kick my rear back in gear for a better one in the next 20 days!

    everyone needs some off days dear...don't be hard on yourself-people always tell me I am too--the pics are your proof!! you did great...and you can totally tell you were working your but-much tighter/lifted!!
    nice dedication...just remember you do get to celebrate and go over occasionally, it won't hurt you if you get right back on track.

    that is awesome progress you should be very proud!

    Also, do you measure yourelf?! that is a HUGE way to tell you've made progress...I did and I would've never guessed I lost 24.5 inches in 20 days!! I don't pay too much attention to the scale because it fluctuates too much. I also take pics once a week or two! those prove it as well!! they really helped me with motivation otherwise I prob woulda given up!!

    wow! that last photo shows so many differences! just look at your sore bum!! it's so high and your thighs are so tight! this is great. you must be able to see that.
    It makes me feel better knowing that others don't see their own transformations - I'm having the same problem. I know I'm wearing a smaller size but I'm having trouble spotting the differences. Don't worry, you've changed.
