I'm in the same boat. It's a love-hate relationship. If I've had a particularly rough day or just don't feel like working, it's nice to just say "screw it" and drink a beer, play with the dog and talk to my girlfriend. I don't feel particularly bad because there is always tomorrow. If you take the long timeline perspective, it doesn't really matter much if you slack a little today. On the other hand, it's easy to become complacent and lose motivation to keep toiling away. Maintaining a steady regimen of working, even just a little, each night seems to be the best way to not lose interest. Otherwise it's easy to continually say to yourself "well, I'll work on it tomorrow" for the hundredth time in a row.
