It's been two weeks and I still haven't abandoned the "exercise a lot more this year" plan. My wife and I are doing it together, which helps a bunch, but it isn't without strain. We approach work and misery very differently. My approach is to just act like I enjoy the misery of the workout, because otherwise it's just miserable. And I'm motivated by the feeling of accomplishment that I just completed a good hard workout. She's not at all on board with the "enjoy the misery" approach and I'm not really sure what motivates her about working out. So I've got to be encouraging without being a sadistic ass, which rules out my instinctive approach.
