I typed you a long message yesterday but when I hit submit, it said that the site was down for maintenance. Anyway...
1) Join a class or find a workout buddy (friend, neighbor, family member, pet, etc.) It's easier to be motivated if someone is counting on you to workout with them. Perhaps your workplace offers something.
2) Buy a new workout tape or machine. Exercise balls are great. They remind many of us of our childhood so working out might actually be fun. (Note: I said might)
3) Tape a picture of yourself on the fridge. One where you may have been thinner or felt you looked great. It gives you a realistic goal of why you're trying to eat better. I used to have an ad on my fridge. Not sure if you remember it but it was the one where the girl had two giant cinnimon rolls for a butt.
Hope these help...
