I was sore everyday and couldn't even lift the same weight at the end of it. The key is to have plenty of rest to rebuild the muscle tissue which then becomes stronger. Eating the correct food enhances the body on all levels, fuel like carbs is what the body needs to run but at the same time needs plaenty of protien tp repair the tissue, a good training plan, rest and diet is the key.

It never feels like much of a workout but it makes me feel like I have accomplished something. I have also found walking to be beneficial. I had to buy a great pair of shoes and I have to be careful to pick a short distance (and some days I mean super short) but it is refreshing. I try to do something like that in the evening and then go to bed almost immediately. I'm usually exhausted (and I don't want to stay wake long enough for the post-exercise energy to kick in. Above all, swimming has been my most successful exercise routine. I don't lose much weight but I get cardio and gently resistance training. It feels like such a relief to my joints and it often calms my stress. But yes, I agree. Exercise feels nearly impossible. And a continued routine can begin to feel like a slow and sure path to death. Best of luck in finding a routine that helps you lose those pounds you want gone. I am trying the Eat Right 4 Your Type diet to see if it relieves some of my pain. I feel more energetic and well-rested but I have not started losing weight. (My husband is doing it too and he has already lost weight.) I'll be posting updates on my blog. Good luck! Thank you for your fun and honest posts.

If you hurt doing a whole workout, then only do half. You can always work yourself up to a comfort level. I really commend you for trying to stick with it :) Hun, don’t overdo yourself, the pain is not worth it. If you hurt doing a whole workout, then only do half.
