Not quite ready

I will be 3 weeks postpartum on Friday and I don't think my body is ready to start working out just yet.  I jogged yesterday and I've been more sore than I've ever been in my entire life.  I think I'm doing too much too soon.  I have to listen to my body on this one because my four children need me.  As long as I continue to eat well and make good choices, things should continue to go on the right track. I can't wait to get the OK from my OB to resume exercising again.  I feel so ran down today that I think its best that I take a nap and just relax and focus on other things in the mean time.  I still will be weighing in weekly until I can start exercising and toning.  I have my goal dress picked out already.  I should put up a picture of it sometime today if my four children allow mommy to do so :)

Take care of yourself! You might want to just start out walking, I bet your body isn't up to running yet, especially so soon after birth!
Fitness and weight loss will come, be patient and you'll get there!

Good decision!

Take care of yourself...rest (when possible)and eat well. The time for intense exercise will come soon enough.
