Making Progress

I've been feeling surprisingly motivated to work out recently.  It helps that my schedule has lightened up a little, and we have a "gym" (ahem, elliptical and set of weights) in our spare bedroom so I don't actually have to go anywhere or care about what I look like.  I think the real motivator though has been that I've lightened up on myself a little.  Before when I worked out, if I wasn't pushing myself to the absolute limit and dying at the end of every workout, I thought it didn't really count.  That methodology didn't exactly make me excited to go back to the gym.  And if I didn't see results right away I would get really discouraged.  Now, I've decided that as long as I'm putting in effort and making progress, that's what counts.

Do you have any advice for motivating yourself to a healthier lifestyle?
