Fit to be tied.... Advice please? :(

Hi all. Over the spring and summer I'd finally managed to find the motivation to get myself in shape and hit the gym 5 days a week. I was thrilled with the progress I was making, and life seemed to be looking on the up and up. That is, until my summer job started...

The first day of camp (I'm a summer camp councilor) I bent over and tried to lift the back end of one of the wagons we use to take the kiddos things back and forth to the pool. Bingo. Bum back for a few weeks. I was grouchy about it, but figured I'd just take it easy till things healed and try to get back into working out when I was sure I wouldn't hurt myself.

Last week was the first week I managed to get back for more than a day at a time, and it was hell to try to start up again. I have no motivation, I'm feeling more sluggish by the day, and I just miss the energy I used to have. The real kicker is that on Friday (just as I was starting to feel good about looking forward to a full week of working out) I tripped out on the playset while I was playing tag with some of the kids, and did something funky to my knee. Now it hurts whenever I put any weight on it and bend it at the same time.

I REALLY don't want to be laid up for another two weeks. I'm afraid I won't have the motivation to get back to it if I break from it for that long. Does anyone have any suggestions for ways I could get some sort of exercise or change my workout up so that I won't have to feel useless and blah for another month? :(
