Mental Block

I need help!! For some RIDICULOUS reason, I feel like I'm wasting my gym membership if I exercise at home, and therefore, on days when I don't make it to the gym, I do NOTHING.

Here's the deal:
Many days I don't get to the gym. I know there are issues with that to begin with ("Just GO!!"), but if I don't go to the gym, I KNOW I should at least do something at home - a workout tape, some crunches, a few walks up and down the strairs - SOMETHING! But do I? No.

I think, "Why am I paying for a gym membership if I can exercise at home?"
Crazy, right??

So, here's what I would like answered... Can anyone identify with my mental block? AND, does anyone have any tips for climbing over that block?

Here's one idea I just came up with:
Maybe if I PLAN on doing something at home each day anyway - then when I go to the gym, it will be like a power boost to my workout. And I won't feel like I'm trying to duplicate my gym workouts at home. Also, if I don't make it to the gym, at least I will have done something! (A set of sit-ups isn't much, but it's more than nothing, right?)

Any other ideas? tips? suggestions? ...commiserations?
