I am noticing the same problem with getting out on my bike, I've been referring to it as being a weather weenie, but it seems a little more than that. I HAVE been under a lot of stress (both work and otherwise) lately but part of me wonders if it is also related to my many mtb injuries the last two years. Not on the road though, so unsure why this would be related unless it is the association with 2 wheels. I also have other activities that I am enjoying as much as riding so it may be no more complicated than that. After my mtb women's clinic volunteer activities this weekend I am going to start forcing myself to ride more often. I don't think it will take much "forcing" to get through this - I hope! I do enjoy it when I get out there - it is the "getting started" part that is the problem, and then I am satisfied with much shorter rides than at one time.
The others have provided good advice - and sometimes we do reach those times when we need to step back or do something else for a little time. Be kind to yourself and keep taking those baby steps. Good for you for not sitting in front of the TV too much and keep putting one foot in front of the other! Post here as you need to.
