I know what you mean, it is hard. I went on and on for 2 years about how I wanted a treadmill/running machine soooooooo much. Yep, poor hubby crumbled and brought me one for my birthday in November and I used it twice for the first 6 weeks and told so many porkies about using it the guilt was killing me. So now I put the machine in the middle of the lounge before going to bed so it takes up the room which means I have to put it away regardless so I make myself find the time first thing in the morning. Maybe you could set the room up in some way - Nothing like a bit of added guilt to motivate!!! Good luck x
