Motiviation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going.

What I've been finding has been really hard for me is getting back in to a habit. If I force myself to work out 4 or 5 times a week for two whole weeks, I will grow accustomed to it.

Just force yourself to exercise regularly for a week or two - set it as a challenge and soon enough, you will get used to it and keep it as a weekly routine.

You are probably still recovering. Start small with a walk. Or if you are 100% and just feeling lazy, get out there and run! It will get your adrenalin going and remind you how good healthy feels!

To motivate myself I just remember that every little bit counts. When I don't feel like exercising I just tell myself to go for a 2 minute walk around the block. Usually once I've gone around the block I want to keep going but if not - hey, I did my 2 minutes and I'll start again tomorrow. Don't look at it as starting one HUGE task all over again. Just do something little everyday and in a week or two you'll be into the swing of things

start again, but small. you can always build back up.

Don't know where you were, so it's hard to say where you should start, but wondering:

Do you enjoy walking? Start with a walk, or a bike ride or whatever you like doing. Do you like watching TV? Stretching in front of the TV for 30 minutes or so is also a start. Anything you like and then go from there. Add time and more strenuous exercises as you can.
