SO discouraged and just want to give up!

I had my baby almost 8 months ago and this week I decided that it was time to start getting back into shape. I am a very very slender built tall woman, not a whole lot of muscle on me. I also have diastasis recti with a bit of a hernia, so that’s what’s kept me from getting back into shape earlier. I’m also of the belief that we mamas should give ourselves GRACE for the first year after birth. But this week I felt mentally ready to get into the best shape I’ve been in. I did a lot of squats and lunges the first day, and the next day and every day after that I have been SO FREAKIN SORE. I feel like I can barely walk! Not only do I feel absolutely pathetic, but I also just feel really discouraged because how am I ever going to attain any fitness goals like this?

Is there any hope for me? I so want to do this but now that I’m in so much pain (and I have multiple kids to take care of every day), I just want to give up. I’ve been so depressed about this the last week.

What do you ladies think? Not even gonna include a pic because I feel so lame and also I don’t want to hear about how I should be grateful that I’m slender and stuff because I AM but I also want to be toned and fit. And obviously I am NOT😭😭😭
