I know this is an older thread, but since it's been active recently, I wanted to address the exercise thing specifically. Something I find really helpful, and that other people I've talked with have also found useful, is to pick a couple of different things that I actually *enjoy*, which are available inside/outdoors, and at different times, for flexibility. For example, while I was working full time and going to school full time, I took one martial arts or yoga class each term, since it was right there on campus, and didn't cost anything extra. Currently, my main two are gymnastics and dancing. The gym is ok, but it's hard for me to motivate myself to go all the time. Making workout buddies, or going with your S/O, does help make it more interesting, and specifically motivates you to show up! Also, having activities that work different muscles helps avoid plateaus - you aren't getting your body in a rut with things it's used to, so you don't make progress as fast.
Another option is to do exercise at home in kinky ways with your partner - stretches, yoga, working out on a stationary bike, etc. while they do a "drill sargeant" routine, or thwack you, or hold you down in interesting stretch/yoga poses, or whatever can be a lot of fun!
