Good words.
To help on keeping on track I'm continuing to recruit others into the fun. A have a co-worker (who is now in the forums) that has caught the commuting bug. I have a neighbor and co-coach who is meeting me tomorrow morning for a 6 am ride. My wife has insisted I get another bike (my current one is just fine, she is just trying to motivate me). And so on. If I know I have someone waiting to commute or do a morning ride I'll get out and go. Otherwise I may roll back over and sleep more.
