Blogging: <\/strong>Finally over to the new site completely. So if you are still being redirected the address is www. teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com \u00a0 I have now met my blogging goal 2 months in a row!!! Go me! Go me!\u00a0 Goal: 15 per month<\/em><\/p>\nDevotions:<\/strong> I have met this goal again !!!! I am excited already thinking I need to up the goal next year to 5 a week! Goal is 3 a week.<\/em>
\nGroceries:<\/strong> Our actually grocery spending for the month was $733, but this is a lot off simply because there were 5 Fridays and 3 paychecks during this month. So\u00a0 I can say without a doubt we are beginning to reduce our grocery spending! I did recheck our average for the year and it is down to $797 a month. Now to stay focused for the last 4 month! But for the first time ever we have been below budget 2 months in a row. Grocery Budget is set at $800 per month, this includes diapers, cleaning supplies, food and toiletries.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>Financially<\/strong>:Still waiting for the changes to take effect at work. No real news in this area. \u00a0 Goal: To be Debt free except for mortgage by the end of the year. This was established prior to our learning of the significant financial changes that are occurring so I am trusting God to provide direction in this area. Currently we are focused on meeting budget each month!<\/em>
\nWeight: <\/strong>I finally got on a scale this month and it ain’t pretty! So this will become a renewed focus for me in the coming months. I was able to exercise\u00a0 3 x a week for 2 of the 5 weeks. That is an improvement. I have also found an app to help me count calories. I plan to go back on plan by Tuesday. Goal to exercise 3x a week and to be down to 150 by December by losing around 4 # a month. <\/em><\/p>\nOverall a really positive month with staying focused. I do know that September will be the greatest challenge in both finances and weight for me so can you pray for me? Thanks<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
