Brilliantly put. So true.
2. Sleep -- I really enjoy sleeping, or perhaps I should say I enjoy rolling over and going back to sleep after I wake up. This has always been an issue for me. ... Today I just decided to bike in even though I felt like I was "late" and nobody said anything. That doesn't feel like a good solution. Just "deciding" to get up early and get moving doesn't seem likely either.
That's a tough one. The unlikeliness of 'Just "deciding"' is huge (I felt the same way
in this thread where most people suggestion was 'just check the weather all the time')
You could consider moving your alarm clock across the room, so you have to get out of bed to snooze, at which point maybe you'll be more likely to get moving? (Might not be acceptable for the wife though)
I really do see fitness and weight as two separate things.
I agree!
Personally my motivation problem is not about whether to ride or not, but whether to ride hard or not. I am also lazy, and my commutes always involve about the same effort as going for a walk. I can't force myself to keep pedaling, get the heart rate up. So neither my weight nor fitness ever change!
