I don't know how to supply motivation for you, but I do have some tips about consistency.
--Pick a "sacred time" for your workout--I mean NOTHING interferes with it. For most people, that's first thing in the morning, before anything else in your life wants you. If you're not a morning person, convert. Don't be in the position of making a decision every d**n day about whether or not you have time for a workout. You know what the usual answer will be!
--Make your workout totally convenient. As you've discovered, a gym membership doesn't do any good when you don't/can't get to the gym. When I roll out of bed in the morning (sometimes wearing my exercise clothes to bed!) and hit the workout space before I'm even awake enough to think about it, I call that convenient. Saves a commute--and I get a clean, private shower afterwards.
--Find something fun. I love my rebounder among other things. Put on that Motown beat, and jump around for thirty minutes. Nobody watching but the cat. Burn, baby, burn those calories.
I use my "yoga ball" as a chair at work. Keeps me activated all day long. You can't fall asleep sitting on that sucker.
Best wishes, PilotGal!
