I put my "workout" calendar on my desk. Each day I can cross off the workout when I've completed it. At the end of the week/ month I have a visual record of my accomplishments!
MORE INFORMATION:
For example, right now I'm working the C25K training on MWF. On T and TH, I ride my bike to school then to strength training. W is yoga and S/Su are "group" activities (golf/ bicycle/ hike). . A successful week has at least 5 days crossed off!

Schedule your workout times and place reminders on your cell phone calendar. It is very encouraging to workout "as an appointment" just like everything else on your personal calendar.
I like to use a calendar to map out my goals, whether short-term ones or the long term one, and I use colored pencils and even stickers on it. It's just a fun visual thing to do. ( I found a web-site where you can print a calendar page for each month with very little ink, any month you want.)
