Do you keep a workout log? I find that creating a plan and then recording in a log keeps me target-focused. It could be an excel page, an online tracker (weightxreps is my favourite) or even a handwritten notebook but it definitely keeps me accountable. The bonus is you can see with your eyes the progress you've made, even when you feel like you're plateauing.
I find it especially useful when injured as it means you actually do all the rehab stuff you've planned rather than just say "eh, it's light stuff, I'll do it tomorrow". Looking back at a week of blank space is a sucky feeling and avoiding feeling sucky can be a great motivator.
Absolutely feel for you. It's the worst.
