Jocelyn-I'm in the same place as you. I've had a hard time being motivated since the end of September, when I was scheduled for my first tri. The loss of daylight is especially hard for me because I like to work out in the morning but have to be done by 6:30.
I think the shift in my household with the start of school (DH teaches, little one in Kindergarten, oldest away at college) causes a transitional period that makes finding time to exercise much more challenging.
I don't have a solid idea of how to get through this winter, so input from others has been helpful. I did commit to a workout challenge on this blog:

Which is organized by another TE'er. And I'm hoping it helps.

I decided to cut back on my outdoor riding mileage for the winter, probably a necessity anyway due to the weather. Not easy for me mentally, since riding outside is my quiet, commune w/nature time. I'm stuck in a windowless, soundproofed, dark tomb of an office all day, so I value my time outdoors.
DH moved the rowing machine into the sunroom where I have my trainer set up. I plan to do more cross training during the off-season - row in addition to riding outdoors or when weather requires, on the trainer.
