WORSHIP SONG:

I Have Been There - Mark Schultz

5 GRATITUDES (Thank you, Heavenly Papa!):

• Thank you God we were able to find three really appropriate and awesome looking bathing suits for our daughter at Goodwill for a fraction of the cost of one bathing suit.
• Thank you God for a full tank of gas for two cars.
• Thank you God for 3 workouts done this week so far.
• Thank you God I got 80% of my subcon work done, even though I didn't think I'd get even 25% today.
• Thank you God for Your extreme goodness to us every day, whether we recognize it or not.

THOUGHTS:

• Our son will most likely need braces within the next year.  We need to get his last three remaining baby teeth pulled within this week and two of them really need to come out tonight.
• Found some really cute bathing suits for our daughter at Goodwill - I picked out 7 and 4 of them looked wonderful on her.  She didn't show me two of them.  Of the 4 I thought looked great on her, she didn't like one because of her tummy.  Anyway, she got three of them. The total for those three suits were about $19.  Great deal as the suits are really nice and I think we would have easily paid at least $150 for all three of them.
• We went to 4 Goodwill stores, which was not in my plan.  I ended up finding a pair of workout pants for $3.19 and 2 workout tops for $6.38.  
• Okay.  I pulled out one tooth of his.  I'll do the other one tomorrow morning and maybe the last one over the weekend.  My husband was too chicken to do it.

SLEEP:

Notes:  I modified this workout to be tougher, since this is a beginner workout and a part of her Summer Abs Series.  I put 1 min. of high knee jump rope between each of the exercises and instead of doing 10 Squats, I did 20.  The side jacks I did these fast added a jump to raise my heart rate.  Very good workout.
