One thing you will find is that light exercise when you're sore is fantastic. There's a number of reasons/theories for this.

I'm not saying these are gospel, as I haven't looked into the science behind them, I just know that light exercise is great. Some say that the pathways your body uses to send pain signals are the same pathways used to activate muscles, so it can't do both. There's also the well known analgesic effect from exercise.

So I guess I'm saying even if you can't do a full workout, do something. The hardest part is getting your mind to believe you can actually move your body. Start with some stretching, then go for a walk. See if that doesn't help.

I'd recommend being consistent. Go every day. You will find that consistency will breed habit and habits are the best way to generate results.

The only change I'd recommend if you REALLY want to see results is to increase the intensity of your work outs. Depending on your fitness level, I'd recommend shorter work outs of higher intensity (look into High Intensity Interval Training).

One of the best ways to change your body composition (more important than losing weight, imo), is to focus on strength training. The higher the percentage of muscle in your body, the more calories you burn during the day for every pound you weigh.
