I've really lost all motivation, which is obviously noted in the numbers. The lack of calorie counting, the uptick on the scale. The days I counted I kept calories in check ... those ZERO days are NOT zero calories. Probably 3000. Just not tracked. Not counted ... but obviously they still add up. A lot. I didn't even get to this monthly recap until oodles after (it's end of November now ... things have not improved). I didn't gather all the graphs and charts because ... why? But I still figured I'd add the monthly numbers up for my own records. Mark the decline. Odd, as September is often one of my more motivational months in years past. Getting back on a school schedule is good! And I have less on my plate this year (#4 is still online-schooling, but I'm not nearly as involved as the last two years, #5 has an early drop-off and late pickup, with less trips in-between). Just a bit of a "nothing really matters" attitude ...
One area I have NOT been struggling in is books ... almost all audio, as I do other tasks.
A good majority here are from Audible's PLUS program. My Audible membership is up in January and I don't plan on renewing. I've only used 2 of my 12 credits so far (I'm perfectly fine borrowing rather than buying, there are few books I want to own and re-listen to). I do like the sales and PLUS program, but have a hard time justifying the cost when I have so many other books at my fingertips (library, etc).
Down in the home gym ... this is what I was watching while working out.
Had a HULU special, so got it for a month. #4 has been happy to have it, watching the anime offerings (he's actually been running on the treadmill, not just walking like me). I have to go with the "no commercials" option as I've been so spoiled by other streaming services. I can't stand ads breaking up the shows. While I like Hulu, again, it is difficult to justify the $13.99 monthly cost ongoing. We'll likely resubscribe here and there. It really is interesting how much motivation a show can bring. Handmaid's would get me excited to hit the gym again. Nine Perfect Strangers was an ordeal to get through (I know, I can just stop watching, but I have this need for closure. Ironically I read the book and didn't care for it either, not sure why I felt like the show might be better). Murders was cute enough, lots of big names, but really just okay. I liked Hot Zone.
The three movies were DVDs from the library - Concussion I had seen before, but #4 was doing a paper for English about concussions in the NFL, so it seemed like a rewatch was recommended. The other two (also "based on a true story") were previews from the former DVD that looked interesting, so I then grabbed them.
... and finally, the monthly photo recap featuring the family!
