Motivation

I've been lacking the motivation to write blog posts, and update everybody on what all has been going on in my life. I've also been lacking the motivation for doing other things in my life ... Like losing weight.
I've been saying since January 1 that I am going to lose 30 pounds. And here it is almost the end of September, and I haven't done a single thing but gain weight. I've thought about running, but haven't started doing that. I thought about doing videos, but haven't done that either. I have no excuse anymore, as we re-carpeted the basement and got rid of all the dead bugs that were hanging out in the carpet. Ewwww.
It's harder now with Luke, but it's not impossible. He usually goes to bed about 8 PM, and so by 8:30 PM at the latest, I could be going downstairs to exercise. I had no excuse before Luke. :-)
I'm having a hard time with work & loving on Luke after work (til 8 pm), finding the time and motivation to do things. I'm not a morning person. I'm usually always late getting to work by about five or 10 minutes. Plus, I'm usually the one up with Luke at varying times of the morning feeding him his bottle, getting him ready/entertained and getting me ready. Also I am the one that rocks him to sleep at night starting at 8 o'clock.
I thought about a running app: "going from couch potato to 5K," and I've also thought about Jillian Michaels workout stuff. I know it may not be realistic, but I want to try and lose 20-25 pounds by the end of the year.
Any recommendations?
What do you guys do to stay in shape?
