Ha, 40 degrees? I will ride down to 25 degrees as long as the sun is shining and there is no wind. But that is mainly because I HATE the trainer. It is awful.

Been getting out and running more lately now that the temps have dropped. I rather like running in the brisk 40-50F range. Even better with some Fall colors to see.

Seriously though, I cannot stand the effing trainer. So monotonous and far more difficult for me to push my fitness limits. Plus I can burn far more calories outside.

Hi, FearlessFife,
I really get how frustrated you must be. I often get frustrated with myself as well. I almost always fail at my diet plans and I couldn't seem to keep it going for even a few months. I'm a struggling wanna-be-healthy myself and I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I just started with the thought that I shouldn't be so hard on myself, and you should do that too. The more pressured you are, the more frustrated you get, and the more you'd look for comfort food.
Maybe you can start with not being so hard on yourself, and then work on slowly choosing the food you eat. You're looking for motivation? What about getting healthy so you can live a long and happy life with your wife?

I’m not trying to sound like a dick here, this is just another approach. I train 6 days a week, diet is always on point. The approach I use is an emotion-less approach. Sometimes you just have to stop thinking about what you like or don’t like, or how much you want or don’t want something. Make a plan, and just do it! Get my fitness pal fired up, pick your calorie number and just do it, everyday, and don’t even think about it. I absolutely hate upping my calories in the winter, I get about 6,000 a day, but so what? I just stuff my face because it fits my end goals. Like i said, this is just a meathod.
