September Goals and Meal Plan for the week of 9/2 with coupon help from this weeks deals!

Hello again everyone!  This last month was way too busy and the amount of stuff I had to do and get done made me so so fatigued.  I used all of my energy up each day and spent too many days borrowing from the next day.  This of course just made my pain worse overall.  You would think I would have learned this from all of my past experiences like this, but no.

Anyway, it is now a new month and a new chance to go in the right direction.  For September I have three major things that I am going to work on:

1. Work on Meal Planning and Figure out a 4 week meal rotation that will work to repeat for a month or two.  Hopefully this will be something I can use again next Autumn.  I am also wanting to do this for each season to try to use produce that is in season at that time.  
2. Work on "Spring" cleaning.  We have recently finished construction in our home and had a mold issue before that, so everything needs to be washed down or painted or put through the laundry.  
3. Work on Balance in my life.  Eating a more balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting on a better sleep schedule are all things I am wanting to make happen in my life.  

So to start off September, here is a meal plan for the first week with my grocery list and links to the recipes I am going to use.
