Spark People has wonderful ideas on staying motivated and being healthy.
Most recently, I created a 'Vision Collage' and am quite happy with the results.
It hangs on the back of our door, so I see it often when we are at home and every time we leave.
On it I have pasted pictures of things I want to do, reasons I want to change, and various motivational things. For example I have a picture of someone kayaking, which I want to do! A great pair of red heels and if you know me you know I love heels. Right now I can't wear them but hopefully in time... There is also a great quote saying the important things in exercise are to do it and to continue to do it. Seeing these things helps me remember why this is important to me and a reminder to get to the gym.
If I stop noticing it, I can move it somewhere else. If you are looking for motivation on something, try a visual reminder.

I want to run a half marathon. I want to be consistent with my weight training. I want to get down to 19% body fat. I want to lose this last bit of weight I've gained since my car accident! I want to try different kinds of exercise classes. And I want to hang out with you in Boston!! :)
